When oven was set at 400, actual temp would run about 285.
1 Turned off the oven breaker.
2. Removed the oven racks.
3. With a Phillips screwdriver, removed the mounting screws holding the temperature sensor and unplugged it.
4. New sensor plug did not match 20 year old connector. Had to cut and solder splice the connectors.
5. Installed the new sensor and now oven holds temperature steady.
Easy order, quick delivery and easy installation, happy wife.

Switch had excess 'play', like my 68 ford F-100's steering wheel, and wouldn't turn off without 'jiggling' the knob.
Your instructions were spot on. I did have the switch installed 180 degrees out, so I installed it twice. Now I'm a professional. Also gave me opportunity to clean out years of goo in hard to get to places. Next cleaning will be much sooner, now that I know the ease of cover removal. P.S. Great service on delivery. I rec'd part the next day. Nice work guys.

Repaired Oven Range Light Bulb
The bulb has a plastic clear cover. That cover can just be carefully removed using a screwdriver. It's held in by a metal bracket. After you remove the cover. You'll just need to replace the bulb and then re-install the cover and bracket.

oven not reheating after initial heat up
unscrew the sensor inside the oven; took off the back of range to access harness of sensor; the replacement part harness did not match up to the original, so we stripped the clip from the end of the part and also the end of the harness in should clip into. after joining the wires together with ceramic wire nuts we tested the oven to make sure all worked AND IT DID!
