Replacing oven door springs on older Kenmore range (40 years old)
Not sure how common broken springs on Kenmore ranges or any other brand are, but both springs broke on my Kenmore oven door. When both springs break the door free falls to the open position which is dangerous. Replacement part number was unavailable so I found a spring the same length and diameter on the site. I then called Parts online and asked if they thought the replacement spring would work. They were quite helpful and said they said it should work. Upon arrive of the springs I pulled the bottom drawer under the oven totally out to gain access to the broken springs. The top of the spring connects to the door hinge and the bottom connects to the oven frame. Replaced bottom drawer. Total job took about 15 minutes.
Hinge design is weak: Hinge roller wheel splits; it's been replaced twice in last two years
1. Slide oven door off hinge arms and set aside 2. Slide out oven bottom drawer and set aside 3. Detach springs from perforations in stove rails then hinges and set aside 4. Loosen three screws in each hinge, remove and set aside. 5. Remove hinges, threading them out through openings 6. Thread new hinges into stove openings. Align hinge arms with hinge wheels. 7. Align and tighten three hinge screws in each hinge. 8. Re-attach springs to perforations in hinge, then stove rails 9. Slide oven drawer into stove and door into hinge arms
Called in and talked to someone and he look yup what he thought was correct but after i got them theywere wrong so i sent them back for a full refund minus 9.90 freight. I still need to figure out what i need for my 27 inch wall oven. Please help. Thanks
I knew the lens (which also holds the light) was broken. I also ordered the light. I flipped the circuit breaker, raised the stove top and removed the 6 nut-head screws holding the cover plate. A nut driver would have been helpful, but I got by with a 6" crescent wrench. I removed the cover. I unplugged the two wires from the old light and plugged in the new one. I inserted the new lens and slipped the light over it. I flipped the circuit breaker on to make sure it worked. After flipping the circuit breaker off, I replaced the cover plates and the screws and lowered the stove top. I flipped the circuit breaker on. It worked!
First, I cleaned all the glass from the stove. then I inserted the replacement glass into the slots and screwed the bolts back into the stove. It took me about 1o minutes to do repair. It waS VERY EASY..
one of the burners was not working, the terminal block that the burner pluges into was burnt
I followed the instructions given to me in the package and all went well. I cut the old wires off the burnt terminal block, stripped the wires, installed the wire nuts with the shrink rap, installed the new terminal block and burner. The new burner is working great! Thanks
children used it for a chin bar and broke the handle and the piece that holds the handle on
We had to buy washers and screws to hold the handle on. Then all we did was undo the screws that were on the side of the door. place handle on door screw the new screws and washers that we had to buy and replace the side screws and it was fixed.
The only problem that I found was that the handle kit did not come with screws or some kind of attachment to hold the handle on the door. We had to buy extras at the hardware store for that.
With multimeter checked resistance of oven sensor. Specs called for 1100 ohms. It was off by 27 ohms. The sensor from Part Select had exact wire connection as original. Then just matter of undoing old and reconnecting with new one.
One unsatisfactory event. I asked Part Select why my clock did not work or light up(timer works ok) . Answer was: sorry we have no time to help you. That soured the otherwise happy experience.
Unplugged over and remove oven racks. Dry fit new clips to hold up broiler element; using piers to insure secure fit to the element. Removed screws that hold element and attached clothes pins to wires to keep from falling back into the oven. Removed element from wires. Secured new/replacement element to wires removed clothes pins. Position element to be screwed into back of oven. Screwed into oven attached clips to oven and element. Plugged stove back into outlet. Turned oven on to test. Worked job done.
After tilting the oven door out and sliding it up to remove it, I slid the storage drawer our completely from the range. After removing the spring that held the hinge assembly under tension, I removed 3 phillips head screws that held the existing assembly in place and removed it. After verifying the part you sent was an exact match, I reinstalled the new part, fastened the screws, attached the tension spring, installed the storage drawer, and then slid the oven door back in place on the brackets, completing the repair.
The customer service rep was brilliant in finding the right part number! It was sent the following day (with email to let me know) The part itself was just exactly like the old one. I simply turned off the power, removed the 2 metal screws and unplugged the broken element. The new one fit properly and works like a million dollars. For about $50, you made me look like a hero in my own house! Thjank you
I simply replaced the element. HOWEVER, the most wonderful parts of this repair...Because of the pictures and closeups and descriptions I knew exactly 'what' to order! And I had the replacement in less than 24 hours. I can do some home repairs but this company provided such detailed information AND speed of delivery...that this was a no-fuss fix. I'll definitely stop by to buy, again. Thanks!
Burner control was erratic. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't.
First pull knob off switch. You may need a small screwdriver to gently start it. I then removed two screws, one in each end of control panel. Then rolled the panel up and out, as it is kind of hinged in the back. Removed two screws from switch front,layed it to the side and installed new switch. Removed wires (there were 5) one at a time with needle nose pliers, and placed on new switch. Replaced panel screws and was finished. Easy fix, quick delivery of part, I have used Partselect in the past and will continue.
