Remove top grille (2 screws), undo control panel (1 screw). Tilt down control panel, switches are on the left.

This would be an EASY REPAIR, but it took me a while to figure out which of the three switches was bad, and a ... Read more lso took a while to figure out that there is a plastic rod that inserts through the hole in the switch body. Once i figured this out went like a breeze. Lower horizontal switch was the bad one, but since the kit came with two switches i went ahead and replaced the upper horizontal one as well. IT appears that the horizontal switches are probably more likely to fail than the vertical switch based on the position of the switch and force angles. Works great now!

The hard part was trying to find the light bulb locally. The locally sold light bulbs were either too long, not dual element or not powerful enough.
