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.

stove burner no longer would heat up burner element

I removed the burner element, then the drip pan. I took off the old block. Then I had to strip the old wires. Then I put on the heat sleeve, then attached the new wires to the old wires with nuts. Put heat sleeve over this and heated with lighter. Then put everything back together.

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!

Top element not heating

Ordered wrong part at first caused me to blow out two elements. With the help of PartSelect I was able to get the right surface block terminal and replaced both of them, then found out I had a bad switch, they got the switch within 2 days I had my stove working good again. Thanks to PartSelect. Also watched the video which was very helpful ML

replacement drip pans didn't fit -- wrong type

Purchased appropriate drip pans here. They arrived overnight, much to our surprise! The range elements were easy to remove, and the drip pans fit precisely as they were designed to do. Ta Da! repair completed.
