Oven would not turn off due to inoperative thermostat
1st ensure thermostat is intact, I thought it was broken but upon further investigation I noticed that one of the screws that hold the thermostat in place had came loose which cause the thermostat knob not to be able to turn the thermostat stem. Re-installed thermostat mounting screw and it worked just fine.
The bottom strip had become rusty and looking badly
I pulled the oven door off the hinges and took the bolts out of the bottom of the over that were holding the strip on. I then pulled the strip off and replaced it with the new on. I replaced the bolts and then replaced the door on the hinges.
Wife broke gas lines when trying to clean under hood
Removed old line with wrench and attached new line to gas valve first. Then lowered hood to the stop and attached gas line to burners.........very easy and works fine now.
Removed spark module only two small nuts. Inside was six wires on terminal. Removed one by one and connected right to the new module. Easy job 10 minutes and finished.
On each side of the door at the top you will find an allen screw, remove those to remove the cover plate. This will prevent the new glass from sitting flush with the door, if not removed. On the inside of the door, you will find two more silver hex screws, these release the glass frame. On the flimsy part that seperates from the main door frame, there are two small brackets that hold the glass panel at the bottom of the door. Carefully pry out all the ramaining glass shards, and believe me they are there, so be very careful and vacuum up immediately to prevent cuts later. The glass frame will be very wobbly, so position yourself in front and place one knee up to support the frame and place the new glass panel in the bottom slot first, then just hold it up, and reinstall the top brackets. These fit tightly on the glass, so expect to have to push a bit. Now reinstall the screws, fold both parts together, use the silver screws to reconnect the glass panel assembly to the door frame.My oven door handle never had to come off.
I removed the original gasket clips with pliers. I installed the new gasket by aligning the clips with the holes around the door and pressed into place. Easy fix!
Gas range igniter was making a clicking sound every 3 to 5 minutes, as if it was trying to ignite one of the burners.
Unplug the range from its wall socket to avoid electric shock. The various range parts that support a pot or frypan are easily lifted off their perches, exposing the small white igniter. The only moderately difficult aspect is wiggling the igniter out of its retainer. The electric wire leading into it then can be pulled out and fed into the new igniter with a push. Replace igniter in its retainer, then replace the range parts you removed to expose the igniter and plug the range back into the wall socket. Piece of cake.
