Digital clock too dim to read
The digital clock was a snape to install but the long oven sensor required installation from the back. This means removing the double oven from the cabinet. I'm saving this repair for the installation of new cabinets.
Removed upper cabinet doors. TURN OFF CIRCUIT BREAKER. Removed 4 screws holding control panel cover. Slid cover up and off. Disconnected 3 sets of wires. Removed old clock assembly, and replaced with new. Hooked up 3 sets of wires. Slid cover back on, attached screws. Flipped circuit breaker - it worked!
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.
The door came off easily after I removed the two hinge covers that are attached to the oven. Taking the door off can be done with one person but ideally two.
The new parts fit in perfectly and the hinge pin used for shipping comes out easiest with a pair or wire cutters (you do not cut it just grab it and pull).
After that, re-assemble the door and drop in place. It was a snap.
FYI...the shipping was ultra fast and the price was great.
first of all you had super fast shipping only 2 days from order to repaired complete. removed 2 screws and 2 wires replaced old heat coil with new one replaced 2 wires and 2 screws less than 5 mins.
Removed two screws, unplugged the old unit, plugged in the new, screwed the new in. Job done. Would have been less than five minutes if I hadn't kept dropping the screws.
Husband got on partselect.com and read reviews, we ordered a long oven sensor kit. When it came in the mail, I took it out and look at it, decided I could probably switch the part.... and so I did. Easy Breezy ... and it worked well
Oven temperature lagging set temperature by almost 100F
Removed frame to cabinet lag screws Slid oven out of cabinet (required because wire harness could not be pulled through inside of oven) Removed two screws holding attaching sensor inside oven Uncoupled wire harness Installed new sensor in reverse order
Unfortunately, neither the new bake element or sensor fixed the problem, so I just ordered the more expensive control board -- hope that does it.
easy peasy. the only tricky part, if you don't have prior knowledge, is releasing the ribbon from the old part. I recommend going on youtube and searching for any video that shows you how to release a ribbon connector. We did that and it was invaluable. The alternative is practicing on your new part, but I really didn't want to do this. The new part works beautifully and PartSelect had it to us in 2 days.
I read installation advise on this web site, so when the part arrived I was more than ready to replace it. Removing a few screws below the faceplate, pulling the faceplate out slightly then up, being careful with the electronic connections, (there are tabs on the sides that need to be pressed to remove the connectors. The largest connecter is tricky, the side tabs need to be pressed then gently pulled up to release the electronic "tape".) It took about ten minutes to complete. Very satisfied.
7 minutes to turn off the breaker - unscrew the old element, pull out the old element attach the new element and rescrew. 10 minutes to replace the broken bulb since the base was left without the glass bulb to turn.
