62945775 Kenmore Range - Instructions

Our heating element ended up breaking from age and use. The repair was extremely easy: turn off breaker to oven, unscrew two screws holding in the heating element, pull it from the unit and detach the element from the electrical wiring. Once this is completed just perform the steps in reverse. The part arrived very quickly from PartSelect, arriving in just 2 days with the standard shipping. I am very pleased with my interaction with PartSelect.

Turn off power source before beginning.Unscrew the bracket attached to the back of the oven,carefully pull the heating element forward, exposing the connecting wires. Push any insulation back into wall while holding wires securely.Remove connection with needle nose pliers.Pull wires in wall from each side as far out as possible.Connect heating element to each wire carefully push back element lining up with holes in back of the oven. Attach screws snuggly and you're ready to use.

1. I ordered a replacement heater element from Parts Select, which arrived in just 3 days at my home. 2. I turned off the main circuit breaker to the range. 3. There are two small sheet metal screws inside the top left and right side of the oven door frame which need to be removed first in order to lift and remove the burner top from the range. 4. After lifting and pulling the burner top toward me about 6 inches, I unplugged the left and right burner assembly wiring harness connectors. 5. I lifted the burner top assembly off the stove and turned it upside down an a table. 6. There are six sheet metal screws that need to be removed to allow the sheet metal panel holding the heater assemblies to be lifted off and then also set upside down on a table top. All five burner elements are now visible. 7. Disconnect the slip-on electrical connectors to the specific heater assembly that is defective. 8. Unscrew the three small sheet metal screws from the three spring clips that support the heater assembly on the sheet metal panel; re-attach the spring clips to the new heater assembly. NOTE: Either memorize or record the position numbers that are cast into the ceramic housing of the burner to replace the new burner in exactly the same position. 9. Insert the three spring clips back into the sheet metal panel where the old, defective burner assembly had been removed. 10. Re-connect the slip-on wire clips to the new heater assembly in the same position as they were removed from the defective heater assembly. 11. Turn over the sheet metal panel with the burner assemblies attached and replace the sheet metal screws holding the panel to the stove top. 12. Turn over the stove top assembly and set back onto the range allowing space to reach to the back and re-connect the polarized connectors to the left and right side burners. 13. Slide the stove top back to the rear and carefully lower the front edge back down with the two metal tabs inserted back into the oven door frame. 14. Re-install the two sheet metal screws that hold down the stove top. 15. Turn on the main circuit breaker to the range. 16. Carefully test the new heater assembly by turning the range control knob to LO heat and watch for the stove top burner to momentarily turn red with heat. 17. Turn off the range control knob. 18. You are finished. It was a very easy installation.

Pulled stove out from counter. Unplugged power cord. Took out the two racks. Unscrewed two screws with a Phillips head screwdriver. Pulled out element and disconnected wires and reinstalled new element in reverse order. Plugged back in and replaced stove back in counter and put racks back in. Took a Pizza out of freezer and cooked at 400 for twenty minutes and drank a ginger ale. Install took less than 20 minutes.

pulled stove away from wall removed back cover pulled switch knob off memoved the 2mounting screws changed the wires one at at a time installed switch with 2 screws knob and put back the rear cover. pluged in stove reset the clock presto peferect. thanks.

unplugged the oven; screwed out the element from the inside and replaced it with the new one.

The feedback from other customers was excellent. It does come apart in layers, and it helped me to number each layer with a sticky note as I dismantled it. I also kept the screws for each layer right next to the layer, so that I knew how many screws each layer used. The only thing I can add is that the tabs to remove the innermost glass from the frame are on one of the shorter sides of the rectangular frame. The tabs are part of the frame, and when you bend them outward the side of the frame detaches and you can replace the glass easily. In addition to the #1 Philips screwdriver, all I needed was a pair of pliers to bend the tabs.

Screws had to be removed where the two ends of the old element are attached to the back of the oven. The wires can then be pulled out 2 or 3 inches into the oven and the connecters which are attached to the wires can be pulled off from the ends of the old element using pliers. Push the connecters onto the ends of the new element and push the wires through the back of the oven and replace the screws. I found it easier to remove the oven door for easier access.

Assembly took a little while, but that had to do with the stove, not with the element you provided. Turned it on and it looks like it's working well. (It's been so hot I haven't cooked since putting the new one in, so we'll see how that goes. But, when tested, it heated right up).

killed power...removed back of stove...removed switch and replaced it..reinstalled back...powered up

Removed two screws holding oven sensor in place. Haad to remove part of the back to access wires. Found existing wires had burnt up, and had to reterminate same. Installed new sensor, making sure the leads did not come in contact with the rear of oven compartment. (This may have been what caused failure to begin with)

I'm the world's worst handy man, but after watching the repair video on PartSelect I determined I might could do this repair. I ordered the part and replaced the element in less than 10 minutes! I also saved $160.00 by doing it myself!

The "PartsSelect" General discription of the parts funtion helped me to confirm my suspitions that there was some form of temperature registering problem. I whatched the short video they provided on how to change the part out, even though, in this case, it's pretty self explanitory.The part was in my hands a day erlier than promised and in reality, much earlier than I had anticipated from the beginng. It took me all total, 20 minutes to exchange the part out and have the oven in operation again.

The sensor inserts into a slot in the back side of the range. By removing screws on the heat shield on the backside of the range, the sensor wires will be exposed can be unplugged. Then remove the screws that attach the sensor to the back inside panel in the oven. Next, pull the old sensor out. The wire leads will get caught on the insulation blanket, no big deal. Reverse the process to install the new sensor. The new sensor comes with two connector sets for the wiring. I did the whole job for less than the cost of a service call.

Disconnect the power.took the cooktop off the range. Turned it over. Removed the underside plate. Disconnected the bad element. Pluged inthe new element. Replaced the under plate. Reconnected the range to the stovetop .put cooktop in place. Reattached screws. Turned on power. Worked perfectly.
