Made a quick sketch of the electrical connections. 6. Removed the damaged switch and the electrical connections. 7. Connected electrical wires to new switch and installed new switch. 8. Took the opportunity to thoroughly clean the glass cover plate and gaskets. 9. Screwed the switch plate back onto the electrical box. 10. Put back glass plate and reinserted the knob gaskets. 11. Put back the lock nuts. Used fingers to tighten then used pliers to give it another quarter turn, making sure not to over tighten. 12. Replaced knobs. 13. Plugged in stove and tested. Start to finish, it took about 15-20 minutes (mostly due to the cleaning).
