Figured out that light and door switch started the convection fan on when door is closed. Found the switch defective. Found exploded view online of switch in oven. Had to figure out that the range top needed to be removed to access the switch from inside the top part of oven. Unscrewed at least (6) screws to free up the range top. Squeezed the inside switch clips to allow switch to be pulled out from outside of oven. Disconnected electrical receptacle and plugged into new switch. Pushed in new switch til it snapped into place. Reinstalled range top.

repair was pretty simple. i pulled stove out from cabinet and unplugged it. Then i removed the screws that hold the face panel in place and gently slid out panel as far as i could without damaging wires. i had to remove the small switches that control the two two size burners as well as one thermostat on the right side so i can access the nuts holding the plastic end caps in place. i diagramed the color coded wires so i didnt mix them up.took off the old end caps replaced with new caps and put back together.. took about a half hour as this was my first time inside the guts of this stove.. stove is baack in place and as good as new again.

Replaced the switch...removed old switch and transferred the wires one at a time to the new switch. Seems to working fine..

Our neighbor, who is an electrician, watched the video on how to install. Since this switch was substituted, he paused the video several times to see how the wires should be attached. It worked.

used two flat bladed screw drivers to get under edge of switch.. pried one side up and unit popped loose... removed electric connection (three prong recep) and plugged in new switch ..pushed into hole and was done... approximately 3 minutes..

After trying to unscrew a plate on the side, I found that would NOT work at all, the side panel of the stove was behind it. I found a tab that cut-out on 3 sides just above the location of the recepticle, and simply bent that tab out, pulled out the old recepticle, slid in the new recipticle, and put in the screws and then bent back the tab. It was sooo easy once I found that. I repeated in on the other side.

Pull range unit from wall. Disconnect power cord. Remove back panel on range(10 Phillips head screws). Pull knob from surface burner switch and remove two screws. Remove and re-connect wires from switch by number on switch. Replace switch and back range panel. Re-connect power cord and re-position range to original spot.
