79072602012 Kenmore Range - Instructions

Watched a video - piece of cake!

Removed both oven racks the removed two screws in back. Lifted rear of panel until front lip of panel was free. Installed new panel in reverse order. I was recycled the old steel panel at our local recycling station.

Very simple. I removed the oven racks, loosened the two screws that held the old panel in place, lifted out the old panel and replaced it with the new one, then tightened the screws to hold the new panel in place. It took no more than 10 minutes.

moved the stove forward and removed old cord by uncruing two small screw and on ploged the all and replaced with the new one.

Called fridgidaire and they told me the a F31 code means my temperature sensor is not working.
So I ordered one online. I installed it and I still have F31 code and still won't work. So what now? Do I trust them to tell me another part?

replaced it

Really a no brainer, but I do have to say that PartSelect customer service is excellent. My part was located and on it's way within a day and arrived a couple of days later.

Easy as 1-2-3

Replaced the oven probe because a no heat problem. also had to replace the oven control. That was a bit expensive but still saved me hundreds not calling a serviceman. By the way, it works like new.....

Moved the stove. Used the template to position the bracket. Put the supplied screws to attach bracket to the floor. Slid stove back into place. DONE!

I was unable to loosen the screws myself so I called my friends husband to help me. We watched the video together and followed the instructions. The door in the video was a bit different than mine but this repair was easy.

removed the door from the range. removed the 4 layers of glass and carefully set aside the unbroken ones. the 3rd and 4th glasses were held together with a metal frame which had to be dismantled. The old broken glass was rusted and hard to get out of the frame. It had to be cleaned thoroughly of broken glass and rust. the removal process could then be reversed to assemble the parts and re assemble the door to the front of the range
