Range top fan switch shorted and started to burn.
Turned off power to range top. Two screws to lift the control area. One snap on was burned off. Removed tab from inside same. Used nut driver to remove switch. Taped wires and restored control area. Power back on. Went to computer and got website for Partselect. Found description of part got me to several choices. The range is 25 years old. Selected a switch that seemed close. It arrived in two days. Redid the same steps. Some file and drill work required to make switch fit. Screwed switch in place. Untaped snap connectors and attached to switch. Checked for function and and restored control area.
Fan Switch Broken and being held only by Electrical Wire Connections
removed two screws under fan cover at end of stove knobs. raised panel with knobs up and removed two nuts that held fan switch housing. installed new switch and moved power connections to new fan. (note: Killed power to range top prior to any repair action)
First I removed the two screws that hold the switch in place. I then pulled the switch out about 3 inches and disconnected the three wires from the old switch and replaced the new switch....
ordered part, called friend who does odd jobs, and he came and turned off electric, unscrewed the area, pulled out old plug, plugged in the new. Turned on electric and walla, fan works !!!! thank you very much. Part arrived in very short length of time. I was surprised.
This was a no-brainer: old filter out, new filter in. In addition to replacing an old, greasy filter, I found that the exhaust fan now draws cooking fumes much more efficiently. So why did I wait the 6 years since we moved into this house to do this???
1st removed 2 screws & removed 2 leads ( then the fireworks started/ did not know the power was still in the leads), so removed the power. On the net picked a fan sw. from a picture & ordered it. The service was swift but the part was wrong ( had 3 contacts rather than 2/ I thought by this time they made one sw. for 2 purposes) WRONG.I called in to explain my problem & Susan M. helped me with the right part & excellant service. Thank you Susan.
