The hardest part was taking out original light bulb because screws on shield where hard to unscrew after all this years . The old bulb vent out leaving neck in socket. It took narrow electrical pliers to get neck out .The generic appliance bulb did not fit and had aluminum neck ,not recommended for brass sockets in ovens.Putting new light bulb in was not the problem.
I pulled down the wire around the glass cover. . . Released on end of the wire from its holder being careful to not let the glass cover drop. Unscrewed the bulb and replaced with replacement. Easy, easy.
Side seals were normally deteriorated on old wall oven
I used the 14 in. Seals which are shown in their packaging as folded in a U - shape. The two tabs on either end slipped into their retainer holes easily requiring just enough stretching to flatten them. It all all took less than a minute, including opening the package. Very satisfying.
Used 2 side seals to make a new top seal (no longer available). Cut the 2 new side seals to provide about 1/2" less length than the old top seal. Removed one of the end hooks and straightened the hook, removed the old silicone from the hook. Used high temperature silicone and the old hook to splice the cut ends together. Let cure over-night and reinstalled. Works like a champ.
The repair was really easy! I read a review where the gentleman had order the wrong size and that had me a little worried because I did not specify a size. There were three seals on my range so I figured if one broke I might as well replace all three. When I received the seals they were the right size and it took me less than five minutes to put them on. No tools needed because they had hooks on each end. Thanks a lot!
