We have an older .......range that came with our house when we bought it in 2000...the stove works fine (for an electric stove!), but the drawer was always problematic. Sometimes it would sit straight in the appliance cabinet and sometimes it wouldn’t. Sometimes it would flop up and down, sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn’t!
We lived with it for TEN years...then a couple of weeks ago I needed a pizza pan. I opened the drawer and the darned thing wouldn’t go back into the stove properly. I played with it for awhile, trying to figure out why it didn’t work correctly! After some energetic observation (accompanied by some choice words about American engineering!) I realized the front drawer guide was broken off!! It was one of those “Aha!” moments!!
I retrieved the plastic piece and went to a local appliance store to get a replacement. They said they’d order one (for 8.95 and I pay shipping and handling!), and it would take 2 to 3 weeks to get it! I declined their offer. Surely, somwhere on the internet there was a supplier who had this part!!
I sat down with my MacBook Pro and looked up “range parts” and was immediately directed to partselect.com. I looked up the part (which was ONLY $3.38) and ordered two. I had the parts in my hand in four days, and even with shipping paid less than half what the other place wanted locally.
I pulled the drawer out, literally dropped in the new guide, and the drawer has worked flawlessly since!! We are forever grateful for PartSelect and will always keep their address on top of our web vendors list!!
Give them a chance...the least you could do is save some aggravation, and maybe a little bit of money, too!!
First i removed the drawer. Then i removed the broken drawer glide and replaced it with the new one. Then i put the drawer back! The parts were a perfect match...
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
I removed the brokne ones and replaced them with the new ones. I appreciated PartSelect giving a picture of the parts so i didn't have to search for the part number.
No problem..... I just had to slide the new one in..It took all of 5 minutes... I searched so many different places for the part until a friend told me about Part Select!!! Thank you so much...
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.
