All Installation Instructions for Hoover Cooktop 2480

Although the knobs where the correct ones, they did not fit over the stems correctly.

I used the blow torch to heat up a small screwdriver till it was red hot. I then quickly applied it to the inside of the new knobs to make the shape more accommodating to the stems size. Once I thought I had about the right size, I heated the screwdriver again and melted the inside of the knob again and quickly pressed the know on to the stem and molded the inside as best I could to the stem.So far so good. Everything is working again.

The heat would not stay on keep heating up and turning off with no low heat

Unfortunately it was the wrong part I replaced the infinite switch and had the same problem so I am still trouble shooting but I plan to continue to use parts select they are excellent to work with and very quick to deliver parts

Burner element stopped working

The repair itself is really quite easy. Cut the wires, strip the ends and attach the new receptacle with wire nuts. The hard part was getting to it. My cooktop is about 30 years old, so I had to wade through piles of nasty built up grease. Some of the sheet metal screws were unworkable, so I had to cut them off with a Dremel tool. Not a pretty picture, but that's how repair work is on old stuff.

Porcelan Electric Burner Plug broke

The video on your website showed me how to take out 1 screw, cut the existing wires and strip the ends. The kit came with 2 porcelan wire nuts to re-connect the wires and it was done. Less than 10 minutes. It saved me $100.00 to get it repaired.I bought 2 in case I need another one in the future.They only cost $11.00 each. Awesome website.

The original filter was decomposing each time I washed it

I removed the protective grid over the filter and fan, turned the clip that held the filter in place and removed it. I placed the new intact filter for my antiquated Jenn-aire in its place, replaced the protective grid, and am happily continuing to cook on my functional cook top.Thank you.

surface burner stopped working. Was not heating up.

The repair only took me 10 minutes to do. I purchased the surface replacement kit from partselect.com. The part arrived in two days. The instructions were very simple. I read the instructions on line during my purchase. When I received the new part, I simply did the repair. Including shipping, the cost was less than $20.00. A service call would have been at least 5x the cost. Thank you for being there Partselect. (Tim from south bend indiana)
