Gas stove knob was broken
The stove is over 20 years old, it was bound to happen. Because PartSelect.com has pictures of the part from three different views & detailed measurements, I was more confident that this part would be what I would need. When the part arrived in just 2-3 days, I opened the package, and slipped it into the socket... DONE ....Easy!!
oven not up to temperature; shuts off before temp set
Took amp reading, which was 2.5 amps, that identified that the igniter needed to be replaced, for the safety valve requires 3.2 amps or better. Replaced, and everything is okay.
Opened the package. Took out the knob. Put knob on spindle. The neat thing is it's an EXACT match! No bushings or adapters needed. No color difference; all the markings are identical. YAY!! I will be back, as all my appliances are aging sharply!
No problem getting to igniter in oven to remove from holder. Difficult to disconnect igniter at rear after removing drawer. Just hard to get to. Broke one of the plug-in receivers so had to crimp on a new one. This was a hinged pair that received the igniter lead and another lead that went to another part.
Our very old GE gas stove looked good except for the drip pans. I ordered all four and they arrived the next day. The price for the pans was very reasonable, and of course, they were very easy to replace. My wife looked at the stove and said the stove looked new. I love those inexpensive jobs that result in a good looking finished project.
First wrote a wiring diagram then disconnected old igniter by removing two screws and unplugging. Then just reversed the whole operation. However, it never worked because the "oven/broiler" switch broke. Its time for a new stove. But I would recommend PartsSelect to anybody. Your selection is great, you shipped as promised, and the best part was the price.
Ordered new igniter switch, but Fedex lost it! Partselect sent new one overnight. Really a cinch to install. Be sure to unplug oven or turn off breaker if you are not comfortable with working with live electrical wires!
Just pushed the new timer knobs onto the stem. They fit and now I can set the oven timer without having to use a pair of pliers to grip the stem and turn it.
Two of the knobs fit perfectly.
The stem for the the clock was broken off and there was not enough of the stem left for the new knob to fit.
The repair in my situation is very easy and simple. Just push new control knob into the valve and it's done. I am pleased with my order and I received it sooner than I expected.
Unscrew the metal rim and remove the glass window. Remove the old bulb by twesting the bulb towards you. Place the new bulb's pins into the slots and twest away from you. Place the metal rims back in place and screw them down.
