The surface burner socket that the burner plugs into melted.

Cut the old wires off, removed the screw holding the clamp, installed the new parts. Problems I encountered were the wire nuts. They were too small for the wire gage of the replacement part and the original oven. I had larger wire nuts in my workshop. Also, why so many extra parts like the shrink wrap tubing, two metal clamps to hold the socket, etc.

The indicator light on our stovetop went out

I knew a service call would be very expensive and I decided to look and see how hard it would be for us to try to fix it. It looked pretty easy so I went online to look for the part. Since the stove has some age on it I expected it to be hard to find. However, Parts Select had the one I needed. It arrived in a timely manner and we were able to put the part in ourselves. Thank you, PartSelect!

Burners did not get hot or went on and off

After carefully inspecting existing burner receptacles, I unscrewed them, raised and propped stove top. Determined which bracket to use from new kit and proceeded to cut and strip wires, twist ends together with supplied ceramic caps and heated shrink wrap on that junction. Works great. BTW got parts in 2 days in great shape and good directions.

broken burners

My Modern Maid electric cooktop (circa 1994) was in need of new burners. I thought this was a hopeless cause but searched the web and found Part Select. They solved my problem by having the needed burners and sending them promptly. My cooktop works beautifully once again.

Two drip Bowls needed to be replaced

No tools needed. And it's always great to be able to replace parts on my VERY old counter-top range. It still works very well, and now it also looks great. Delivery was amazingly fast, too! Thanks!
