Oven gets too hot,if set at 350 it heats to 550. Changed the sensor and was not the problem.
Took off the screws on the back of the stove and took out the sensor, and put in the new one.

Both outside door handles turned very beige
Everything worked perfectly---thanks to the suggestion of your call center agent. She suggested that since the replacement door handles were no longer available, I should consider repainting them--it worked like a charm. Please tell her she was a life saver. We rent that house in Fl and my returning tenants had complained about the discoloring refer handles. Thank you

Leveling legs were broken during the summer
The range in my classroom had the leveling legs broke off by the summer staff. I ordered two new leveling legs and the night custodian replaced them in about 45 minutes and them leveled the stove. Parts were just as stated and easy to order.

The door had been fallen on slightly and the door didn't close properly
First removed 3 screws from top of door and the 3 bottom screws. To remove hinges there are 2 screws on the bottom ends remove those and then there is 1 in the center of hinge remove slide out old hinges and install new ones.The hinges have to be in the extended position I then put the needle nose pliers on the top end of hinge because they kept snapping shut before it engaged with the receptacle I put on one side when it was in I released the plier and it hooked I then proceeded to the opposite side it shouldn't have taken so long once I used the locking plier I was done in 10 minutes.

oven would not heat up
I watched a couple of online videos to determine what could be wrong with my oven and how to fix it. I ordered the part and it only took a half day to arrive at my door. After removing 3 screws in the panel on the bottom of the oven to expose the bake element, I pulled the element from the wiring. Even though I was careful, one of the wires slipped away and could not be fished back out. So I removed a few screws from the back of the oven, easily found the wire and connected it to the new element. It was a pretty easy fix that would have been even easier if the wire had not slipped into the back of the oven. I am a retired female, and I strongly recommend saving a chunk of money by doing this job yourself.

heating element broken
Turn off power--Remove bottom cover inside the oven---Undo three screws holding broken element in place--Remove element by pulling out ,and carefully detach from power connection.Reverse the procedure with the new element.In doing this myself I saved $90 for a repairman to come and diagnose the problem, and another $90 to bring back and install the element which cost $62

leg was bent, also metal receiving bracket bent
Removed stove from slot in wall. Bent rear left leg would not unscrew due to bent metal bracket. Used hacksaw to cut out leg, then straightened metal bracket with small hammer and was able to screw new leg in and adjust height by using level on stove before reinserting stove its slot. Recheck level after pushing back in place and adjust front legs if necessary. If not for bent metal receiving bracket, would have taken much less time. Still easy tho. R'cvd part in two days. Very quick.

E-2 F-3 codes..Oven inop w/trying to bake.Beeps @ start attempt.
Contrary to instructions(go thru front of oven) I had to pull out the range, remove two (2) screws from back chassis. At this point you pull out the connector, snap in new, reverse proceedure. Very simple. Hardest part is cleaning up debris generated by moving range.

Heating element would not get red hot
Replaced Infinite control switch in just a few minutes. Unfortunately the new switch had a lose terminal that was not supposed to be in the switch that came from the factory that way. I connected the switch, turned it on, and it instantly shorted the switch out. At that point the lose terminal was real easy to see.
