  • Wendy from Red Hook, NY
  • Easy
  • More than 2 hours
  • Screw drivers
I numbered every part. ex: 1 L., for first part removed left side. I used a magic marker to circle the holes and wrote the number of screws used on the part, set the srews in a separete place, so that I new where these screws went to. The cleanup was pretty time consuming, but I was able to keep my stove, when every repairman I called to fix my stove told me I was better off buying a new stove. ($600.00 stove 2 years old)Please Note: The insulation blanket needed for the entire stove is two pieces, the sides and top are one part # and the bottom and back, are another part #. I did not know this. I just purchased the top and sides. I got lucky, the back and bottom were still in good shape. So I guess I should have read the description of the part more carefully to see what it covers, before I ordered it. It took two people two hours to do the work, it was really nice to have an extra set of eyes, to remember what direction pieces of metal from the stove went. I would do it all over in a heart beat instead of buying a new stove.

temperature not accurate after 3 1/2 years of happy usage
144 of 272 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Ruth from Oregon, IL
  • Really Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Screw drivers
Opened up the back of the stove. Unpluged the sensor. Replaced the sensor. Replace the back of the stove.

The sensor that has been replaced is not what is expected. After reading all of the instructions for adjusting the temperatures, the only temp that stays steady is when we first turn on the oven to 350 degrees. That stays s teady but when I turn it to 400 it slowly goes up to 425 degrees.

Burner would go high without warning
60 of 63 people found this instruction helpful.
  • John from Clinton, CT
  • Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Pliers, Screw drivers
We felt the only possible problem could be the switch assembly. I removed the switch panel, removed the wires from the old switch, one at a time, removed the old switch assembly and installed the new switch assembly. The extended stem did have to be snapped off (per your instructions) and that too was a very simple task.

Replacing the bowls was simple, simply removing the burner units and pulling out the bowls and inserting the new ones.

The ONLY reason I am answering this questionaire is to complement Partselect.com for their incredibly fast shipping of my parts after I placed the order. I received my order within 2-3 days with normal shipp ing. I expected to wait at least a week or longer. Thanks again Partselect.com for being there when I needed you the most!

Drip bowls was extremely dirty and burnt

  • Dr. Robbin from Philadelphia, PA
  • Really Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
So often we feel inclined to contact repairmen for simple jobs. This was easy because I ordered the part by looking on the side of the range. It arrived in less than a week. I simply snap the bowls inside the correct sockets and now my stove looks new. I definitely would use this service again.
