WEF365BHDB Westinghouse Range - Instructions

The most difficult part of the process was cleaning the oven. It possibly had never been cleaned before. It was cleaned while waiting for the part to arrive. The part came in 2 or 3 days and I got right to work. I had expected that the nuts might be frozen with rust to the back plate but the nut driver handled them with ease. I used clothes pins to prevent the wires from disappearing back through the holes in the back plate. The push pull connectors came off easily and went back on snug with no adjustment needed. Everything fit just fine and best of all, the oven can bake again.

With screw driver, popped out old glide and popped in new ones. Apparently there are some pieces missing that the front drawer glides slide on. I have not found a picture so I don't know what they are. partselect was very prompt in sending what I did order. Thanks.

So simple....removed back panel, removed knob from front of range and removed 2 screws holding the knob in. Used needle nose pliers to pull wires off existing switch, placed wires in identical spots on new switch. Put switch post through front of range and put the 2 screws back in and the knob on. Finished and ready to go in less than 10 minutes. No more sparking....

Unplugged the main cord to the socket in behind range. Took back panel off. Unscrewed switch from its position on face of range. Switch is not a look alike switch to original, so had to pay attention to the labeling on both switches as to their identity. Removed one line at a time from old switch and placed on new switch. Rechecked positions of the wires and made sure there was no binding of the wire positions when installed. Mounted switch to same position previous switch was removed. Reinstalled back panel, plugged in range and tested switch. Very easy repair as long as you can see the labeling on back of switches. I used a light having a strap that is positioned on my head for best lighting possible for one person repair.

Watched on-line video to confirm I was ordering correct part and installation took less than 30 seconds. Video was very helpful.

Confirm the problem and check electrical diagram to see if there was any other circuit in the syatem that could cause the burner to stay on , remove back cover and inspect switch contacts, found them burnt , look up parts for the model number and replace it.

turned off the braker to the stove then loosened the two screws removed the old element put in the new element tighetned the screws turned the braker back on its working fine

Followed the online video instructions.Thanks for the step by step online video.

I am an electrician so I had no problem identifying wire and connecting them properly. However there were no instructions provided with the part and the configuration of the new switch was different than the the old one. I doubt if a DIY individual would have been capable of handling this task. Also there were no safety warning with respect to electrical repairs, which is a must today.

Took the back off and replaced the switch for that burner. Got alittle nervous because the switch did not look the same and the connectors were labeled differently, but it worked. Lost the red light button some how during the repair so when I turned the stove on sparks came out the back because the light connector was loose so I did have to order another one of those.

Removed the old oven racks and put in the new ones.

once I figured out how to get to it it was fairly easy, make sure you carefully disconnect the indicators lights for the speed bake and surface before you try to remove.

The element was relatively simple to put back on. While holding the connecting end coming from the back of the stove into the oven. I pushed the new element into the connector. It went in place perfectly.

I watched the video that was posted on the parts website when I ordered my part for my oven and it was sooooo simple now I'm back to cooking and my part was to my door in1 day after I order would definetly use this company again.

Used a nut driver to remove old bake element and removed slide on clips on each side took the old pieces to trash and the put new element in by installing slide on electrical connection the tightened up screws with nut driver it was easy and the best thing was ordering of the part and getting the correct part in a timely fashion. I wish all websites were this efficient.
