KEBI140SBL1 KitchenAid Wall Oven - Instructions

Purchased 2 piece broiler pan from this site

Unscrew the old one, pull it out, along with a few inches of wire. Use a couple of clothes pins to keep the wire escaping back behind the oven as you unhook them from the damaged (bad) one. Then reverse the process with the new one. No big deal. Works great now and the wife is happy.

I took the new knob out of the plastic bag and placed it on the oven. The whole process took les than one minute and no tools were needed.

After 26 years, the element burned out. I followed the diagrams on this website. Basically, I took out the screws that hold the element in place and carefully pulled the old element forward. The wires had fittings that slipped off the old element (with a little help from the wrench.) When the wires were disconnected, I clipped the adjustable wrench on the one of them to make sure they didn't slip back through the holes in the back of the oven. The old fittings slipped right onto the new element (couple of taps with a small hammer to get them all the way on). Them I slipped the wires back through the holes and put the two small screws in the plate at the back of the element. Quite simple, even for a guy with four thumbs.

Well, when you put the back cover on and screw it down make sure you have nothing touching the white wire leading to the oven light. I did and it blew the push switch when I threw the 220 breaker. Actually, the light was on when I came in the room, but when I pushed the switch on the front panel it sparked in the rear and popped the breaker. Then I saw the short and when I tested the switch it would not click. The install was fine.

at first I couldn't get the knob on but after placing a little Vaseline on it, it went right on.

Turned off breaker, verified that the breaker controlled the oven and was actually off.
This is important since you can still get a shock from leaks in the neutral side that may surprize you if you ground one side. Also some breakers can be mislabeled on older homes.
I removed the two screws holding the element to the back of the oven phillips #1 screw driver.
I carefully guided the wires and attached terminals out of the recess until
I had about 5 Inches of wire inside the oven exposed. Just be patient and careful, they will come out.
I then unpluged the wires from the old element and attached a binder clip to the ends so they could not slip back into the oven shell. Clothes pins are also a good choice or some duct tape.
I thoroughly cleaned the oven.
I then installed the wire terminals to the new element and reversed the removal procedure.
I then verified function and temperature of the oven settings.
It took me 10 minutes not including oven cleaning time.

Remove to screws pull old element out, unplugged old element and plugged new element in. Replace screws and baked a cake

Removed the old element and replaced it with the new element. Very straight forward

I googled Kitchenaid along with the model number and Parts Select came up. I then entered the model number along with what I wanted, and scrolled through different pictures until I found a sketch of my cooktop with individual numbers for each part. I selected the part, and rechecked the model number of the cooktop and ordered it. From the time I ordered on-line, until I received it, was 3 days. I am very impressed with the service, and the knob fits perfectly! Thanks so much for the excellent service!

Replacement of knob

ordered new broiler pan

Took off the oven door, oven in wall mount, had to pull oven 80% out to access both end of spring holders, reattached springs, slide oven back into place, installed face-plate and oven door. The most difficult part was pulling oven out of wall, I did not know it would be that heavy.

We turned off the power to the oven and removed the oven racks. Then we used a screwdriver to remove the metal plate in the back of the oven which held the connection for the old heating element. The element pulled out easily and then we connected the wires to the new element. Very simple.
