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.

My husband took the plastic cover off and took out old bulb and screwed in the new one. Then put the cover back on.

ordered new broiler pan

I pulled down the wire around the glass cover. . . Released on end of the wire from its holder being careful to not let the glass cover drop. Unscrewed the bulb and replaced with replacement. Easy, easy.

Unplug power cord, remove wires from block. take 2 screws out. replace with new block about 15 mins. Done

very easy

Screwed in light bulb and glass protector

The side seals fit perfectly so I just put the hooks in the holes! The top seal was too long so I cut it to size and used super glue which did not hold. Next I looked for a high temp glue with no luck. Finally I put the hook into the seal and used a very fine wire through the holes in the metal of the hook piece and twisted the wire until it held the metal piece in place. Then I installed the top seal and it works fine. There is no longer heat pouring out the top of the oven and my brownies cooked at the right temp for the right time. Hooray!

I unhooked the clips on each end and put the new seals on. Quick and easy.

I used the 14 in. Seals which are shown in their packaging as folded in a U - shape. The two tabs on either end slipped into their retainer holes easily requiring just enough stretching to flatten them. It all all took less than a minute, including opening the package. Very satisfying.

Used 2 side seals to make a new top seal (no longer available). Cut the 2 new side seals to provide about 1/2" less length than the old top seal. Removed one of the end hooks and straightened the hook, removed the old silicone from the hook. Used high temperature silicone and the old hook to splice the cut ends together. Let cure over-night and reinstalled. Works like a champ.

This is a simple replacement. The hardest part was that I had to shorten the seal because it comes 15 to 17 inches. So it needed to be shortened to properly fit. I cut the seal to fit, then took the metal hook on the end and super glued it to the cut end. I put a weight on it to make sure

I went to the source of power on the stove and noticed one of the terminals had come loose from the terminal block and had shorted out against the cover of the terminal junction. After prying the loose terminal off cover I ordered new terminal block and received it the 2nd day. I removed the old terminal block and replaced the part in about 10 minutes..Thank you Parts Select for your easy to find diagrams and quick delivery.

The repair was really easy! I read a review where the gentleman had order the wrong size and that had me a little worried because I did not specify a size. There were three seals on my range so I figured if one broke I might as well replace all three. When I received the seals they were the right size and it took me less than five minutes to put them on. No tools needed because they had hooks on each end. Thanks a lot!

Received the part the day after ordering. Appreciated the quick service and repair took less than a minute.
