Old cooktop burner element died.
First I unplugged the element that wasn't working and switched it with one that was to confirm that it was the burner element, and not the cooktop wiring, that was the problem. Once that was confirmed, I ordered a new element from partselect.com. Upon arrival of the new element several days later, I plugged it into the empty plug on the cooktop and voila, we're cooking on all 4 again.

Broken drawer glide
I used a screw driver to pop the broken glide out and then snapped in the new one. The repair took all of about 30 seconds. It probably would have taken even less time if the former owner had not epoxied the broken piece in place.

I accidently threw away the drawer glide, when it fell off one day b/c I didn't know what it was. Later on when I started pulling out the bottom stove drawer, I discovered that it wasn't gliding properly....duh...
I just placed the new glider in place and put the drawer back on its hinges and it was good to go... my wife was extremely happy

missing drawer glide
Pulled out the bottom drawer of the stove. Attached the new drawer glide to the drawer. Replaced the drawer and it worked like new!

I received the part two days after I had ordered it. I was very pleased with the speed of the service and the ease with which I found the part I needed on the web site. I will use your site again if needed.
