YKERA205PT0 KitchenAid Range - Instructions

This was a very smooth repair. In total it took about 5 minutes. The pot drawer below the oven wasn't gliding like it once did. After I replaced the glides it works like new. Please note, if you are going to replace one side go the next step and replace both to provide balance to the drawer.

the hardest part was moving stove to trplace part

Slid oven out and took back shield off unplugged sensor took bracket screw out replaced sensor with new one.

I pulled the range away from the wall enough to reach the back. There is a small access panel on the back of the control panel at the top of the range. It removes with 3 phillips head screws. Once removed, the back of the switch is accessible. Simply pinch the 2 snaps on the side of the switch and push it out through the front of the panel. Remove the 3 wires from the failed switch and install them on the new switch. It isn't obvious which way the switch installs and I'm not sure it matters. But there is stamped writing on the switch that will help orient it. Then simply push the switch back in place until the snaps catch and install the access panel.

took old one off and installed new one used electrical tape to hold glass from sliding.Unscrewed moulding and installed new one

take off back panel, simply unplug the old switch and plug in the new one. Simple

Replaced the safety thermostat and disconnected the oven light.
Works great again...without the light

This is a cook stove that is used 5 months a year. We have not fixed it yet because we are now in Florida the stove is in New York. We ordered that part just before we left NY for FL so the repair will be done in June of 2021.

Simple-pulled range away from wall, unplug from socket. Removed back panel unscrewed thermoses and replace. Put back panel back on plug in, tested temperature setting before sliding range back on place

Very easy. Pulled the stove away from the wall. Used a screw driver to remove the two nuts to release the heat sensor, disconnected the wire, removed the sensor. Inserted the new sensor, plugged back into the circuit. put the two nuts back.
Beware, if the first time you put the oven on, if the error message comes back up (mine did) push the cancel/off button, wait a few minutes, put oven back on. System probably needed to reset. Mine worked perfectly after.

removed 3 screws holding the strip and replaced with new strip

My husband unscrewed the bad switch and replaced with the new one.

This oven probably was manufactured in the '60s when the house was built. The door doesn't just pull off like the newer models. These pins fit into small holes on the oven hinges. I inserted the pins and lifted the door to a 45 degree angle, before pulling the door completely off. Now that turned out to be the easy part. I then proceeded to completely dismantle the door. It actually has 4 glass layers which had to be cleaned individually. The hardest part of all was actually remembering how to put it back together again. I put the door back on just as I had removed it, then took out the pins, and I was finally done! This was not an easy project, BUT the results look great.

Well I had my oven door ducked taped together. I Am a 51 yr old female and I laid on the floor on my back to see if I could get the rest of the molding out without having to take off the entire oven door. I was able yo pop out the rest of the broken molding. I wasn't able to snap in the put it under the front of the oven door hold it together and screw in my new screw on the inside of the oven door. IT WORKED!! If I can do this so can you.
