Keep searches simple. Use keywords, e.g. "leaking", "pump", "broken" or "fit".
original light grey color grates stained and unsightly--no amount of scrubbing or cleansers would make them look nice.
Opened the box and took out the black color grates~~removed discolored grates and put the new ones on. Looks like a brand new stove and much nicer to look at as it is the first thing you see when you enter the kitchen.

Rubber gasket failed due to age
I learned that I could clean the window in the oven door. In taking it apart I saw that the gasket had fallen into the oven door. I found the part online, it arrived in three days. I removed the metal part of the door, removed what was left of the old gasket and put in the new one. Put the metal part of the door back on, and it was as good as new.

Had To Change The Knob I Could Not Read It
Pulled the old knob off and put the new one on. Only thing that was difficult was making sure the knob was the right one because the instructions kept leading me back to a different brand of appliance but since the photo looked alike I went ahead and got it.

30 year old gas stove needed a new burner assembly.
We lifted up the stove top, slipped the burner assembly in. It fit! who knew that we could get a part to an old stove without the model number, just by looking at a picture of the part! Terrific!

Original Knobs broken; would not work
Removed the aftermarket knobs I originally bought (they would slip or not turn at all) and installed the new Magic Chef knobs on stove. They work perfect! No problems, easy to install and work every time. Thank you so much for your quick shipment. It is now fun again to be cooking, and not worrying about whether the knobs will turn or not. Thank you, thank you

Numbers on thermostat knob were worn off
I was tired of guessing the temperature on the oven in my apartment so I decided to look on-line to see if I could find a replacement. I couldn't find the exact Model Number to the old stove so I just took the old thermostat knob out and looked for pictures on the PartSelect site that matched up. I found one that was almost an exact match so I decided to take a chance and order it. I was so happy when I received my replacement. It was a perfect fit. All I had to do was take the old knob out and put the new one in. Thanks PartSelect!
