The front drawer glide broke off so one side of warmer drawer was sagging
After researching on what exactly to call the part, which was a front drawer glide. I found this out by watching the video. It showed me exactly what I needed and what it looked like. I run to the oven to look at the other one, to make sure thats what I needed, and it looked like the part that I needed (mind you I am a female, and not a repair person), so this video helped me out alot. When the part arrived, I knew how to take the drawer out, and easily snapped the little plastic glide in to place, and slipped the drawer back on the gliders, and it worked perfect, so proud of myself, that I done it by myself, with no help from husband. I bragged and bragged on myself with a big pat on my own back, thanks Part Select, I know what to do when it happens again. Its my fault cause it broke, cause I overload the drawer with pots and pans LOL!!! Brenda Dixon

An aluminum saucepan had overheated and melted onto the element.
Unplugged the element and the melted on pot. Plugged in the new element. I thought I might need a whole new cooktop but a new element was very easy to find online.

Drawer glides were snapped off
The drawer under the oven had been aggravating me for some time. It was titled and did not close right. Finally, I took it out to see what the problem was and noticed that the glides were broken. I googled the model no. of the stove (figuring I would have no luck) and to my great relief was directed to this EXCELLENT site. I ordered the new drawer glides within minutes and they were literally delivered the next day. Snapped right in, fixed, happy!! It's times like this when I can't figure out how we all lived without the internet!

Old cooktop burner element died.
First I unplugged the element that wasn't working and switched it with one that was to confirm that it was the burner element, and not the cooktop wiring, that was the problem. Once that was confirmed, I ordered a new element from partselect.com. Upon arrival of the new element several days later, I plugged it into the empty plug on the cooktop and voila, we're cooking on all 4 again.

Broken drawer glide
I used a screw driver to pop the broken glide out and then snapped in the new one. The repair took all of about 30 seconds. It probably would have taken even less time if the former owner had not epoxied the broken piece in place.

I accidently threw away the drawer glide, when it fell off one day b/c I didn't know what it was. Later on when I started pulling out the bottom stove drawer, I discovered that it wasn't gliding properly....duh...
I just placed the new glider in place and put the drawer back on its hinges and it was good to go... my wife was extremely happy

missing drawer glide
Pulled out the bottom drawer of the stove. Attached the new drawer glide to the drawer. Replaced the drawer and it worked like new!

I received the part two days after I had ordered it. I was very pleased with the speed of the service and the ease with which I found the part I needed on the web site. I will use your site again if needed.
