This is the second time had to change burner on this range. Last time was the left front. Since I had done it before knew better about being careful of the wiring. Last time sliced it and had to repair it. Also last time had to have a neighbor unscrew old knob. This time had no problem unscrewing the knob. I did have to adjust the know to ... Read more be align properly. Also forgot to slip to bottom clamp over the first time and again had to reassemble. Once I got it assembled correctly no problems, works great. I had ordered the wiring harness that I had sliced but it was still intact so saved it for another time.

Disassembly took the most time. After the gas was shut off all the burner heads were removed. Then all the control knobs. Then the front panel. Then the manifold mounting brackets. Then the range top. After all that, it was easy to unbolt the seized-up valve and install the replacement. After tightening down the new valve, be sure to leak ... Read more -test! Re-installing the range top was tricky as it was difficult to align properly while getting all the burner bases in place. About 1 hour start-to-finish.

I had to wait week for parts that were supposedly in stock No notice about delay I had to call to find out you really dropped the ball on this one

The steel mounting screw tends to seize in the aluminum burner head. It is not easy to extract, or to drill out and rethread. My advice is to replace the burner head at the same time.

The Stove installation manual was accurate and complete. The valve kit was well marked for each part. It was easy to find the proper piece part in the kit. The machining and finish of the parts were top quality. The included instructions addressed clearly the protocol for returning items to the site.

I trouble shot and traced out to electrical short in face panel and found burnt wires. I've been a licensed electrician for years and it takes alot of comon sense to trouble shoot and find problem. I found schetch-matic of appliance and searched computor and found partselect.com and tried it. It wasnt no time and the part was at my door. ...

The old part, including lightbulb and socket, had corroded into place, and the glass light cover was stuck to the socket. I used a dead blow hammer and a dowel just under the diameter of the hole to tap on the back side of the socket to loosen it and get it out. The metal tabs on the old socket were folded back to make it fit better (?), ... Read more which made it harder to remove. Lots of muscling of the part to get it out. Easy to install new part once old one was out of the way. An experienced person would have removed the old part and installed the new in no time.

Replaced the oven light with a new one but it burnt out as soon as I turned it on. Therefore I decided a new socket may help.

My whirlpool apparently has the old style socket which is pictured in partselect part #PS12584564. The old style socket has to two metal arms that retain it against the metal reflector.

The ... Read more part that will come (#PS12584564) however is the new style that whirlpool has changed to, apparently. It is not as pictured. The socket and the reflector have different retention devices.

I used screw drivers to bend the two metal arms away to release the socket. Then I had to use allen wrenches to bend the reflector's retention tabs away.

Once I had the old socket, reflector, and lens replaced I just followed the video on partselect for part #PS12584564

It was alittle difficult at 1st to remove the clips that held in the socket. But once out everything went smoothly.

Put the back of stove on blocks of wood to get high enough to screw the new leg in.

ordered new broiler pan

I got from you good quality Knobs from KitchenAid brand (I tried them from a friend Range and then fit perfectly), and I easily replaced all of them, in less that 5 min.

Pop old one out and new one in

I determined the bake igniter was not working. If the bake ignitor does not work, the sensing unit to turn on the gas does not activate. I examined the bake igniter it was blacked significantly in one spot. There were no apperant cracks in it. I did a web search for the part and ordered it. Three days later it was delivered. ... Read more Take pictures of each step if you fell the need. Pull stove away from wall turn off the gas, unplug power cord, remove panel in back of stove that covers the electrical, unplug the ignitor/element. Move to the front of the range and remove the oven rack. Remove the cover over burner tubes, it secured with several screws. Remove wing nuts for heat shield. Carefully remove burner tubes along with the attached ignitor/element. You will have to carefully guide the ignitor wires out with the burner tubes. Unscrew ignitor from the burner tube, attach new ignitor/element. Reverse the steps.
