Had to remove oven door due to cabinetry. Removed screws holding unit to back wall. Pulled unit forward to release unit from front roof and expose wire connections to unit. Trick #1--get both hands into oven to to remove wires from unit. Front hanger for unit was different than old unit. Had to remove front hanger from both units. Hanger from old unit had to be sqeezed onto new unit in the unit in the proper location to fit into the roof stirrup to hang the unit. Now, two arms and hands into the back of the oven to reconnect the wires to the element. Slide the old support into the stirrup and screw to back wall. Result, the back wall plate of the new element partially covered the edge of the light cover which will be a challenge to replace the bulb.

Bottom oven quit heating about 6 mos. ago and now top oven quit. Broiler worked fine on both. Bought 1 replacement element to try. Did not work on either oven. Found online where someone had found a bad solder joint on a relay board so I pulled the oven and removed the covers. (WITH POWER OFF. I made a diagram of the wire connections to the board and removed it. I FOUND a cold solder joint on the L2 connection of the top oven board. I found the exact same cold solder joint on the bottom oven board also. After resoldering the connections and touching up any suspect joints I replaced the boards. They BOTH WORKED fine! Anyone that can't solder can take the boards to a local radio/TV repair shop and probably get the techincian to resolder it for a minimum fee. It is certainly worth the attempt.
The original element in the oven burned up one evening
We pulled the stove out from its slot in our island. We unplugged it and unhooked the gas line so we could get behind it easily. We then took off the back (using screwdriver) to get to the connectors for the element. We unhooked the connectors from the old element. Then we took off the plate inside the back of the oven (using screwdriver)and gently pulled the old element out. We seated the new element in the oven and then hooked it up in the back and put it all back together again. It worked perfectly! The hardest part was cleaning the dirty floor under where the oven had been for 7 years!
It's kind of embarrassing! As the breaker was being thrown to turn the current off, I discovered that the breaker box was burn up at the breakers. Short story but I got'er done! The problem now is there is something still wrong with teh oven! I think I see a new one in the future! Thank you very much for the very prompt delivery. My purchase has been without a flaw. I have already sent the part back for a refund. It cost me something like $13 for this experience for freight. I will remember you with my next need.
Watching the video showed an easy, unscrew and screw back on process while connecting the wires back. It was really that simple. Once it was complete (not even 10mins), plugged it back in, and its been working great since.
light in range control panel/splash guard went out
first I removed the 4 screws holding the cover in place. then I removed the 26" flourescent tube by slowing twisting it free. Then I attemped to buy another one at 6 or 8 stores with no luck. While surfing the web for tappan range replacement bulbs, your web site popped up. Thank god.
Really a no brainer, but I do have to say that PartSelect customer service is excellent. My part was located and on it's way within a day and arrived a couple of days later.
