Racks were dark and dirty
The first set of racks did not fit. I called the Service rep, gave him the model number and exchanged the racks for the new ones. The new ones fit perfectly and the service was excellent. I would definitely recommend PartSelect.com to anyone who wants to deal with a company with excellent service, parts and representatives who know their stuff.
door seal contaminated by a boil-over, not flexible
From reading other reviews i thought I would have to dis-assemble the door but when I saw the new part I realized I would not have to, simply pop the beveled clips w/pocket knife and pop in the new seal clips. the ends tucked very nicely, an 80+ yr. old would have no trouble if they had their wits.
Remove sides and face of oven door by sliding down from under the oven handle trim.
Remove screws on 2nd light of glass and set aside.
Now you are at the inner door panes. their should be two in an insulated type unit.
Remove the remaining screws from the handle pracket and the permiter frame for the glass/insulation. Remove permiter frame and set aside.
Pull out inner door glass frame. get a pair of pliers and bend tab on frame up so you can pull the frame sightly apart, replace the glass, secure frame tightly around glass slide tab back into reciever slot and bend down ( you may need another person to assist in keeping both lights in the frame while trying to ben tab back in to place)
reassemble door as it came apart carefull not to over tighten the screws, they strip easy.
Filter was coming apart, door gasket was dirty and fraying
Opened the range grid, popped in the new filter, seconds after that I pulled out the old door gasket, put in the new with its little poppers and that's it. Both jobs took me less that 3,minutes. Great.Easy install for both products.
The marks are 90 degrees off from our stove markings
I didn't. I'll need to return these knobs as they won't work for this oven. While they fit and look nice, the marks are 90 degrees off from the stove markings.
First be sure to unplug stove or turn off from breaker switch. I Removed racks from oven . Using screwdriver I loosened the back plate in the oven that held the wires connected to heating element , being careful not to let wires fall through holes . Gently pull element tip apart from wire. Snap end of new element to wires, screw plates back to tighten Turn oven on and check to assure heating properly. Very simple
Shut off breaker, assure zero energy. Using phillips screwdriver remove old element, unplug wires from element. Reconnect wires to new element, secure screws. Assure all tools removed and people are clear before re-energizing power to range. I was not happy with the packaging, the new element came in a box with no protective packing material!
1. Open oven door to first detent, then pull it up off the hinges. 2. Pull oven out from counter 10-12 inches. 3. Hinges are accessible from the outside of the oven. 4. Remove 2 screws on each hinge and remove old hinges. 5. Put new hinges in place and try to insert mounting screws. 6. Wonder why screws won't start in threads. 7. Examine new hinges and notice they are not threaded for the screws. 8. Screws are not self-tapping, so go to basement and get tap & die set. 9. Use 10-24 tap to make threads in new hinges. 10. Put new hinges in place and insert mounting screws. Tighten. 11. Pull hinges to first detent and put oven door on hinges. 12. Push oven back into place in counter.
ovens wouldn't maintain temperature after preheat cycle
unplugged oven. removed 2 screws that hold the sensor in place, then removed the dozen or so screws that hold on the rear panel, unplugged sensor and fed wire through insulation. identified and installed correct harness adapter then fed new wire and connecter through insulation and connected to adapter. installed sensor retaining screws.plugged oven back in and tested function.no dice. unplugged oven once again. removed oven control panel and upon inspection of printed circuit board discovered 3 solder joints had failed. dang. resoldered failed joints and also sweetened up a few others that looked suspect. reinstalled controller, replaced all retaining hardware, and plugged in the oven. tah-dah!! works like a charm now. moral of the story is check the pc board first and save $50 for unneeded pats!!! or buy the controller from parts direct for $260ish. btw a roll of solder and soldering iron from an auto parts store cost around $10, learned to solder on you-tube $0. amazing all the home appliances yo can fix if you're not afraid to take a few screws out and poke around a bit. CHEERS!
The entire "project" took me less than 3 minutes, and required no tools at all! First, the saleswoman over the phone pointed me to the correct product for my problem ($30 less than what I thought I needed), and it arrived at my home within 4 days. Then, it was just a matter of pulling off the old gasket, and snapping the new one in place! Simple!
