R201 - Instructions

First I disconnect the breaker. I removed the defected receptacle and cut the wires. I connected the new receptacle with parts with the new part. Turned the breaker back on and everthing worked fine.

Turn off elec. power at breaker box. Check twice. Removed burner switch cover. caarefull remove wires from switch, note with color to which terminal remove nut on switch replace new switch replace wires to switch, replace cover turn on power. ready.

After buying a 'universal' part at Lowe's and it not fitting correctly and shorting out the burner, I went online and found this source for an exact replacement part. Beside having to disassemble the drop in stove burner two or three times it went well when I had the correct part. I lost one screw somewhere and that delayed me a short time to find a replacement. Thus the 1 to 2 hours. It would have been about a 30 minute job if I had been smarter.

I first replaced the element and the receiver. This required splicing lines which was very easy. It still did not heat (even though my element indicator light was on) so I replaced the switch regulator. This took a little time because of the small space on my model. In fact, I had to replace a wire that had shorted by splicing a 3 inch section into it. When that was done, I simply re-connected the 5 wires in the original positions and reattached the cover. It works like a charm and my wife is delighted because we are hosting a family reunion/baby shower tomorrow!

Kill power to range unit at the breaker. Remove 2 screws on back of center control panel. Lift control panel up and toward rear of unit. Unscrew retainer nut which holds switch in the control panel. Carefully note wiring connections, and unplug all 5 wires from switch with pliers. Remove old switch. Reconnect all wires to new switch. Reattach switch to panel with retainer nut. Replace control panel in range with screws. Turn on power.

Removed screws by drilling one and using a pliers to remove 2nd one. At first did not have enough wire to pull recepticles out until I relized wires were clipped to back of range to hold in place. Unclipped wires, pulled recepticles out, cut wires and attached new recepticles by connecting wires with wire nuts (I think wire nuts were to small so I used my own a size larger). Another problem that I found was that the recepticles on my range were held in place only by the screws that attached the recepticles to the drip pan flang. I had to bend an L bracket to prop under each recepticle to hold the back of it up so the burner element would sit level over the drip pan.

Just remove the old ones and replace them with the new ones. no tools necessary.

Removed the old ones and snapped on the new.
It was a snap and what a difference! Even though the cooktop is over 20 years old, it looks new again. Thanks to the knowledgeable support people at Part Select.Com we picked the right knobs the first time.

Two dials available, chose the wrong one, PartSelect paid to have the wrong ones returned and issued credit, while helping to select the correct ones. Friendly, REAL people, who absolutely sealed the deal. I'll always check here first for parts, filters, anything. Thanks PartSelect

I just pulled the electric element out of the slot and dropped the drip pan in place and slipped the electric element back in place and it was ready to go. It looks almost new. We built a new house in 95. It took 17 months to build it. I got the stainless steel cook top that you can have the grill on one side or you can pull the grill off and slip in the burners. It is only 4 burners but it is plenty to work with. It has a down draft.

Unplugged the burner units and replaced the drip pans. Five seconds time per burner.

This has been a wonderful cooktop and I could only hope todays quality is equally as good but after 25 yrs. I doubt it especially after looking at new dishwashers in the last couple of days. too sad. but these repairs were minor and no trouble. what amazed me most was ordering one afternoon and the parts were here the following day ! great service

Pulled the old one out & inserted the new one. Less than five minutes.

We replaced the burner grates, knobs, air filter and burner pan. Looks as good as new!

Simply replaced these items with no difficulty. John legrand
