GLEF396ABC Frigidaire Range - Instructions

replaced it

On this website, I found an instruction manual for this stove. There were 2 pages about how to change the glass on the oven door, including diagrams. I'd also checked a generic youtube video on changing inner glass on oven doors too, although the hinges in the youtube demo weren't exactly like those in mine. I printed out the instructions, checked the oven door to make sure the hinges looked like those in the diagrams, set aside a couple of hours on a free day with no other distractions, and did the job. I just kept removing screws from the inside oven door, peeling back the layers of the onion, until I got to the innermost glass, which was cracked. Put the new glass in, put it back together. On youtube the guy said it would take 20 minutes. It took me about an hour. Saved a ton of money by doing it myself.

We have an older .......range that came with our house when we bought it in 2000...the stove works fine (for an electric stove!), but the drawer was always problematic. Sometimes it would sit straight in the appliance cabinet and sometimes it wouldn’t. Sometimes it would flop up and down, sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn’t!

We lived with it for TEN years...then a couple of weeks ago I needed a pizza pan. I opened the drawer and the darned thing wouldn’t go back into the stove properly. I played with it for awhile, trying to figure out why it didn’t work correctly! After some energetic observation (accompanied by some choice words about American engineering!) I realized the front drawer guide was broken off!! It was one of those “Aha!” moments!!

I retrieved the plastic piece and went to a local appliance store to get a replacement. They said they’d order one (for 8.95 and I pay shipping and handling!), and it would take 2 to 3 weeks to get it! I declined their offer. Surely, somwhere on the internet there was a supplier who had this part!!

I sat down with my MacBook Pro and looked up “range parts” and was immediately directed to partselect.com. I looked up the part (which was ONLY $3.38) and ordered two. I had the parts in my hand in four days, and even with shipping paid less than half what the other place wanted locally.

I pulled the drawer out, literally dropped in the new guide, and the drawer has worked flawlessly since!! We are forever grateful for PartSelect and will always keep their address on top of our web vendors list!!

Give them a chance...the least you could do is save some aggravation, and maybe a little bit of money, too!!

No problem..... I just had to slide the new one in..It took all of 5 minutes...
I searched so many different places for the part until a friend told me about Part Select!!!
Thank you so much...

First i removed the drawer. Then i removed the broken drawer glide and replaced it with the new one. Then i put the drawer back! The parts were a perfect match...

Fed ex dropped the part off at 7 one night, had it repaired by 7:05. Popped the broken glide off, popped the new one in. Easier than easy. Took longer to empty the drawer and remove it than to do the repair.

I pul;led out the drawer and inserted the front glide in about 2 seconds and slid the drawer back in! Presto--fixed!

Took no time at all to fix and is as good as new. Hooray!

took old parts out and popped in new glides.

Wow! That was simple! I did not even have to run all over town looking for the parts. I just hopped on the web, checked out the online diagrams, ordered and the parts showed up in the mail within a few days. It could not have been easier. Parts Select is now in my bookmarks for future use.!

Thanks guys

Removed old glides and replaced new ones.

Simply secured new glide into slot. I was more impressed at how easy this company made it for me to find the part I needed. And, they shipped immediately. This company is great.

Removed drawer and replaced broken and missing parts. Very easy when you have correct parts.

I removed the brokne ones and replaced them with the new ones.
I appreciated PartSelect giving a picture of the parts so i didn't have to search for the part number.

I just placed the new glider in place and put the drawer back on its hinges and it was good to go... my wife was extremely happy
