Oven bake element
Open oven door. Still power to the wall, but all Knobs in "OFF" position. two phillips screws, pull old element back, and disconnect both leads. Put the leads on the new element and reinsert with two mounting screws. Simple.
Oven lamp socket had broken center electric tab - failed.
1993 model oven, built in wall model, so didn't to remove oven for the normal rear access to replace the lamp socket. As someone else posted, replacement can be done from inside the oven -- BUT the socket removal was more complex than just 'twisting it out.' But below worked! (1) Turned off oven power at circuit breaker panel. To facilitate working in the oven compartment, removed oven door (2 screws on back of door), raised the over door almost closed, put 2 large nails through the hinge holes when they lined up. Lifted the door out (heavy ~20-25 lbs) and put aside. (2) Put work light inside oven. (3) unscrew glass socket lens and the bulb). (3) Using inspection mirror, studied the inside of the socket to determine that its lock tab type and locations -> were on left and right sides of the socket. These tabs needed to be bent in, but they were each held out by a small circumferential length of think metal, a tab about 3/16" x 3/8". These small tabs could be moved/positioned by just finger friction, with a little start with a screwdriver tip on their edge! I got an end positioned to put sharp screwdriver under that end, then pried it (bent it) inward a short distance. Enough to use needle-nosed pliers to pull it completely out - came fairly easily. Repeated on other side of socket. (4) Then, with pliers, bent each of the 4 locking tabs inward a short distance, Used sharp tool to get one socket edge lifted a small amount; then use mini-pry bar and screwdriver to gently pry around the socket in steps, working evenly around its edge. At about 3/8", it was free. Lifted it inward gently so as not to damage the insulation of the 2 wires attached to its rear. Noted the direction of the wire tabs was straight up (keep same orientation on new socket). (5) Needle-nosed pliers on each connector to gently work the connectors off their socket tabs. Note one tab is larger than the other. Keep the wires inside the oven compartment. Don't damage the insulation. (6) Pushed the wire connectors onto their respective new socket tabs. Aligned socket with the tabs upward, and inserted it, careful to nurse the wires back into the oven wall hole; press socket into the hole, pushing it in evenly and firmly until flush. (7) Pushed in the new type bulb that came with new Socket. Turned on power, and light came on. (8) screwed on new glass cover. (9) Lifted oven back onto the hinge prongs. (easier with two people to get the prongs aligned and into their door slots.) Worked door left and right to get it to lower down fully. Removed nails, lowered door, and put its 2 screws back on. (10) Poured a glass of wine.
The handle used to open the oven door broke. So we were unablbe to open the door.
I removed the screws attaching the remainder of the handle on each side of the oven door. I placed the new handle in place, attached the screws. It was easy . Thank You
The broiler unit had disintegrated at both connections. I removed the two screws in the top of the oven holder the unit, pulled out the unit, measured and ordered a replacement.
To replace the element, I pulled out the stove, removed the rear panel, located the connections for the broiler unit, remove parts of the old unit. I then attached the new unit to the top of the oven with the two screws, went around back and pushed in the two connections, replaced the back cover and replace the stove. It took about 30 minutes because I cleaned everything and sprayed bug spay (another plus for doing the repair myself).
1. Turn off oven. 2. Switch off circuit braker to oven. 3. Remove two screws holding element. 4. Pull element out to expose connectors. 5. Disconnect connectors and remove element. 6. Reverse procedure for installation.
grandson removed the two screws holding in the burned out unit and removed the two wires, installed them into the new unit and put the prongs into place. very easy and certainly very economic. delivery was quick and postage was reasonable. Thank you.
Simply remove two screws on each side of the oven door. Remove what was left of the old handle and slide the new one in place. Replace the two screws on each side and it was done. Very impressed with the whole experience. I paid for standard 3 to 5 day shipping and received the parts I ordered less than 24 hours from the placing the order.
Unscrewed plate and replaced new handle. Very simple repair. Whirlpool was pricey on the handle but PartSelect had no determination in that. I researched the pricing and they were right on track with it. Delivered it in just a couple of days and I was back in business. Would definitely purchase again. Hassle free, great service! Great website and easy to purchase from. Very detailed prints, when trying to figure out what you need. Not sure if I needed just the brackets or the entire handle but the prints showed came in handy and showed me what I needed. Thanks~
I had previously partially removed the element and tested with multi-meter to determine that it was not working (open circuit). Repair procedure follows:
Turned off Power Removed 2 retaining screws Pulled element out part way Removed 2 spade connectors supplying power Replaced element w/new element Reversed procedure Tested Oven; worked fine.
items in the oven were not baking properly. We discovered the bake elemnent wasn't working and looked defective in one part.
I removed the back panel, unplugged the wires, removed the 2 screws, replaced the element, plugged the wires back in and put the back panel back on. Now that I'm thinking about it, I guess I didn't even need to remove the back panel to replace the element.
