KEBC147VBL02 KitchenAid Wall Oven - Instructions

Shut off power at breaker and removed oven door to lessen weight. Removed oven trim and retaining screws and tried pulling out of cabinet. Stuck on power cable, so had to remove Mircrowave oven above to get to power cable plug. Removed oven back cover panel to access thermostat. Easy to unplug and replace with new thermostat. Reassembled and turned on power. Cooked dinner in oven.

I removed the two stainless trim pieces (2 screws) and then two screws which hold the oven frame to the cabinet. Be careful to put a pad on your floor before you pull the oven out of the cabinet as there are sharp edges on the bottom of the oven. I removed apprximately 12 screws holding the back panel in place. The fixed set point thermostat is in middle toward the top of the oven cavity after removing the rear panel. Just remove two screws and slide the terminal connectors onto the new thermostat. Very easy job for someone who is not too handy.

Repair was fairly simple, unscrewed oven from cabinet and pulled it out. Then remove screws on back panel to access the thermostat location. Unscrew old thermostat, unplug it from connectors and plug in new thermostat. Then screw back in place, replace cover and pop oven back in place. Now fire it up, worked for me! Thanks to part-select. Good luck everyone. Probably saved $200 service call.

Sorry but that would take too long to give all instructions, but I will mention that there were four glass plates if you count the cover of the door which is a large glass piece. All glass plates had to be taken out or off including the holder hardware in order to get to the inner glass (about 15 screws in all). No you-tube videos seemed to apply directly for this door. Taking some pics and using a card to hold screws in the pattern they were taken out helped keep the in order to be replaced (I screwed the screws into a paper sheet to keep the pattern with some labeling like top, bottom, etc). Lower glass door appears to only have two glass plates (didn't take it apart, but inner glass holders were not seen when peering in through the inner glass as they are in the upper door). If the inner glass plate on this door gets broken it should be easier. The glass was broken for some time before this repair so there was a lot of cleaning required inside the door. Oh, by the way, when taking out the door off pull out (not up) after locks are released and when the door is mostly closed. Push back in and open door down a bit to lock back in place. This is far from complete but I hope it helps some.

Remove rear panel - remove sensor from inside - unplug from rear - reverse to install - did not fix problem

GENERAL APPROACH:
1) Checked YouTube for some general guidance: VERY helpful things there for this! PartSelect's install info. was helpful as well- Thank you for this!
2) had table set up in order to disassemble the door once it was removed
3) There are 4 separate glass panes in there- they all need to be cleaned
4) TOOK PICTURES AND MADE CAREFUL NOTES AS (12 or 15?) SCREWS ARE TINY & THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES. TAPED THEM NEAR WHERE I REMOVED THEM SO AS TO KEEP THINGS STRAIGHT
5) Like any project little or big, just take your time & it actually works out well
6) take advantage of this downtime to clean the oven good, as well as the door & panes of glass. Cleaning was 75% of this project.
7) EXTRA: If you're so inclined, turn the breaker off for the Oven & carefully remove the lower heating element to enable easier & more thorough cleaning of your oven. You'll be glad you did this- and so will your cook!

I pinpointed the location of the sound, took off the protective plate, felt it vibrating against the plate. I disconnected the power supply, and looked at the wirings and how it was connected, saw some burning residue surrounding the area of the Transformer. Then figured that I could simply replace this. I wrote down the Model and Serial number of the Stove, searched online, found this site. Located the part on the diagram, then simply ordered it. My part arrived in 3 days, and had the part replaced the next day. Couldn't be a smoother fix. Thanks.

After turning of the breaker for the oven, I pulled out the oven, removed the back panel. The High-Temp thermal cutoff was attached to 2 wires, which I unplugged, and then removed the cutoff by removing two screws. I then replaced the part in reverse order, pushed the oven back into the cabinet, and turned the breaker back on.

Only problem. stripped screw. Replaced at local hardware store. Directions were simple and easy.

Pulled the stove out, unscrewed the back and plugged the new thermostat in. Screwed the back back on

I followed the instructions per a YouTube video. My older model was slightly different in parts used in the video, but the general idea was the same. Very happy with current repair / parts. The door now opens smooth as glass, and I even got a chance to clean some internal parts inside the door.

Product Select was the only distributor to have the oven door glass in stock. Kitchen Aid could not even get it for months.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Repaired the top over door glass quickly and easily by asking my son to do it.

First we watched a YouTube on how to replace the thermostat. It was easy to turn off the circuit breaker. It was a little tricky to pull the range away from the wall and then we were able to unplug. Because our range is a dual fuel model, the back had a lot more screws to remove to get to the thermostat because there were covers over a lot of wires and the gas line I presume. However, we did get off the 12 or so screws with a regular screw driver. We easily located the thermostat and quickly realized that the two screws holding the thermostat in place were neither flat head nor phillips. We were able to remove one of them and merely twisted it sideways, installed the new thermostat with one screw and attached the wires. When we flipped the circuit breaker and plugged in the over, Voila, it worked. The hardest part was getting all the covers off the back. I hope it doesn't happen again because this was an expensive replacement part.

Taking off the glass lense for the light bulb was harder than I thought. It unscrews counterclockwise, but it was very hard to get off. It would not turn. I ended up using connector pliers I use for work, that has rubber jaws. The lense unscrewed very easy with it. Light also unscrews out. PartSelect.com is the only way to go to buy parts for appliances. It is simple, even has the illustrated parts catalog. And it saves a lot of time and gas, driving around looking for the part!!. PartSelect came through again.

Ordering the part online was easy. It arrived in a timely manner. I found a terrific video online showing how to install the terminal. It was so easy. Thank you for the great instructional video.
