79073233313 Kenmore Range - Instructions

Ordered new racks and replaced them.

Apparently, the original insulation had been removed due to a mouse infestation-the unit had been in storage for a while. After removing about 50 screws, I had all the body panels off and cleaned out the interior of the stove then installed the new insulation. I put it all back together and hooked it up- works just like new. I only paid 60 bucks for this oven, so all in all, not a bad deal.

The hardest part was pulling the oven away from the wall. Two bolts hold the sensor in place and a clip connects the electronics. Replacing the old one was trivial.

I replaced the bulb using my hands to twist the bulb in the socket located at the top of the refrigerator.

I couldn't unscrew the leveling foot because it was rusted and corroded. The bracket holding it was easy to remove so I took the bracket with the corroded foot off and replaced it with the new foot and bracket. Very simple. I made sure I oiled it so it wouldn't rust again.

I took the brads that were left from the old gasket off with needle nose pliers. Then I put the new one on. It was very easy.

Watched the repair video on your web site. Used the video as a step by step guide in the actual repair.

Unplug the range, remove racks. Remove 2 screws from the bottom back corners ( this was the hardest part. I used a stubby screwdriver, but a longer one would be better. They are fairly long screws). Remove oven bottom, lifting from the rear. Remove burner cover. Bottom left corner is a triangle cover. Remove this too. Remove the 2 screws holding the old igniter in place. The igniter unplugs easily. ( I used pliers, the plug has a clip, and pliers grip better.) Install new igniter ( it only fits in one way ) reinstall mounting screws and covers. Replace oven bottom. (I didn't replace the 2 screws. The bottom sits solidly, and they are a bit of a pain.) Plug in, set clock, test for oven to fire up.

turn the gas off unplugged it form electric removed the line took the flame plate off removed burner tube and the screw out with a nut driver that was all just put it back in reverse

The replacement racks were spot on and the service was outstanding. had the racks in 2 days. Happy Happy Joy Joy! :)

It was a replace racks not repair. No problem

1. Unplug the range to ensure there is no electricity running through the range. The repair can be done with the propane/gas line still connected.

2. If possible, remove the storage drawer for ease of access.

3. Remove the screw from the metal plate in the left corner of the oven. Detach the end of the igniter cord that you find plugged in there.

4. Remove the two screws that hold the igniter in place. The old igniter should fall to the bottom of the range.

5. Take a picture of the two other cord connections that run into the middle of the back wall. This will come in handy for reference when you install the new igniter.

6. Route the longer extension of the new igniter cord through the hole in the metal corner plate, attach the cord, and put the screw back in to secure the corner plate.

7. Affix the new igniter to the same spot the old one had been in, using the two screws from step 4.

8. Plug in the two shorter cord extensions, using the photo from step 5 if necessary.

9. Reattach the drawer if necessary and plug the range back in.

10. Set the clock, then set the oven to a desired temperature to begin heating. If the repair was successful, the igniter will light the gas piped into the range, and you will see a ring of flame.

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.

I watched a YouTube video and followed their instructions. Pull the range out from the wall, unplug it. Take out a few screws with a nutdriver and take off the back. Unplug and unscrew the old control board. Remove the cover from the old control board (I had to use a razor knife to separate it from the control board). Stick it on the new one (plenty of sticky stuff left), screw in the control board. Plug the wires back in, screw the back on, and you're in business. Easy, maybe five minutes work.

It’s a plug in part so other than working on your side while lying on the floor it was a snap. 20-25 mins.

It helps to remove the bottom drawer completely to gain easier access.
