Element caught fire and broke
The video was good but my model had and additional back plate that wasn't mentioned with 6 additional screws to take out and put back in. Other than that the video explained everything including checking the wires, clips. Oven works great now.

Light lens broke when self clean cycle was used
I searched Whirlpool, Sears and random appliance stores and Part Select was the only company to have the lens available. All other manufacturers said the lens was no longer manufactured as a stand alone piece and I would have to buy the entire light assembly. Thank you Parts Select!!!!!

Baking element blow out
Turn off the oven and let it cool. Remove the door by pulling it upward. Remove the racks and pull out the drawer under the oven and set aside. You should be able to reach the electrical wall outlet. Unplug the unit. Unscrew the metal tabs holding the element to the rear of the oven. Pull the element out about 2 inches so you can reach the clips attached to the wires. This is why you must unplug the stove. Wiggle the clips until you can pull them off the element. Don't let them slip back into the insulation. Bend them upward if necessary. Replace with the new element. Put on the clips. Ease back into the insulation. Replace screws. Plug back in and you are good to go.

F-4 Code, oven wouldn't heat
Watching the video of how to replace the sensor was great help and much appreciated, the only difference was that my wires were much shorter and I had to pull the oven out of the cabinet to get to the back of the oven to release the clip holding the wires together, unlike the video where the man jiggled the wires until the clip holding the wires together came through the little slot where the probe is attached, otherwise it was pretty simple, just a few extra steps to pull the oven forward to get to the rear to release the clip holding the wires together. Once I was able to release the clip I used one of the 2 adapters that was sent with the sensor probe and attached them after putting the wires through the hole where the probe was attached first then replaced the 2 screws that holds the sensor in place, slid the oven back in and turned the circuit breaker back on and it works perfectly. The video gave me the confidence to do this job though and I thank PartSelect very much for being a great company to help with videos and sending the parts so quickly.

Oven tempature varies.
We took the back off the stove and unscrewed the two screws from the inside holding the sensor on and pulled it through and plugged it in and then replaced the screws. Very easy. We are still having trouble as the display does not read the same as the tempature is in the oven.

oven temperature only goes to 275 degrees even when set higher; broiler works
I watched the video, which was very helpful...the temperature sensor was hard to pull through the small opening in the upper back left oven corner. On the back wall of the oven was a large removable circle, so I unscrewed that piece and was able to gain access to the wires attached to the temperature sensor and push it through the small opening. I used one of the new connectors, pushed it back through the small opening, screwed it back onto the oven wall, replaced the circle opening and tried the oven again...unfortunately, there was no improvement in oven temperature! My JennAir wall oven is about 17 years old, and I thought I would try this $30 repair prior to purchasing a new wall oven, but it looks like I will have to do some overtime and buy a new oven. Any other suggestions would be welcome.

Broken leveling leg.
This is a no brainer. I am only doing this because you asked. Pull out the stove, tilt it back, remove broken leg, install new leg.

Stove would not heat up.Guessed it was element
Pulled stove well away from wall - took plug out of socket..Phillips screwdriver. Slotted element into wire thing-y - one connector fell down the back, so had to take back off the stove. Used tweezers to pull wire back into back of oven. Screwed plate over wire.Was thrilled when I turned stove on and element shone brightly. Husband away so had to do it myself. Had a glass of wine.

Oven door was locked, couldn't set oven temps
Got a bent metal coathook to temporarily release the oven door, removed the screws from the old probe, inserted the new one, and hooked it up, using the one of the plug adapters provided. Problem solved! The oven door latch was now disengaged, the oven would now accept temperature inputs, and the rear cooling fan (which wouldn't shut off) now turned off. That's a lot of things working better for less than $50!
