VG30CW2 Tappan Range - Instructions

Turned power off at electrical panel. Pulled oven away from wall. Removed back cover (6 screws), then unplugged wires from old receptacle. I had to pull the squeeze clips backwards & break them to remove the old receptacle - couldn't squeeze them enough to remove them otherwise. The old receptacle came out through the inside of the oven, and the new one snapped in easily from inside the oven as well. Replaced wiring, installed new bulb, restored power & tested. Replaced back cover. Good time to vacuum under/behind where the oven usually lives before sliding it back to the wall.

Twisted replacement bulb into place easily. Let there be light!

I replaced the bulb using my hands to twist the bulb in the socket located at the top of the refrigerator.

The bulb has a plastic clear cover. That cover can just be carefully removed using a screwdriver. It's held in by a metal bracket. After you remove the cover. You'll just need to replace the bulb and then re-install the cover and bracket.

I watched a you tube video from the reference library at reference oven door repairs and the explanation was clear and simply understood , even though the oven type was not exact, very easy to follow.

Remove drawer, remove oven door, remove hinge and pieces. Get the spring loose. Attache new hinge to frame, reconnect spring. Slide door back on hinges.

Removed the storage drawer to access the door springs.Removed the worn hinges and installed the new hinges,connected the springs. Removed the oven door before anything else was done.The could not have been any simpler .

replaced it

First I read other comments here; then checked youtube.com to see if there was a video - there was! Easily removed the stove door and the storage drawer to access the spring. Removed the spring and used screwdriver to remove 2 of 3 screws - third had a nut on back which required removal of the decorative panel next to the door. After applying Liquid Wrench, was able to use vise-grip to remove last bolt. Inserted new hinge, attached the spring to hinge and stove frame then inserted the 3 screws. Reattached the decorative panel and was done. Repklaced a hinge, not a stove!!!
