Oven only heated at high temps
1 person found this instruction helpful.
  • Rebecca from DAWSON, MN
  • Very Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
  • Screw drivers
I first unplugged the stove as that was easier than going to turn off the breaker. I removed both oven racks for more room to work. There were two screws to removed inside the back of the oven. After pulling the element out a few inches I was able to unscrew the two screws that held the wires onto the element. I made sure to note whic h wire went on which side. Then did everything backwards with the replacement element.Plug the oven back in and make sure it works. This was the easiest repair I have ever had to make on any appliance! It's good to note the new element could heat much faster and hotter than the old one. I plan to check the temp when baking. The replacement one also hinged so cleaning in the future will be much easier as well.

Old element burned out (while I was roasting a turkey)

  • Vera from Auburndale, MA
  • Really Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
  • Screw drivers, Wrench (Adjustable)
My husband helped me pull the range out from the wall to unplug it, I removed the screws on the hinged bracket, pulled the wiring out a couple of inches and removed the screws attaching the element to the wiring. Then I reversed the process. Easy as pie. The most time consuming part was unplugging the range, but as it is 220v (can kill yo u) I consider it a nesessary step. The best part was the price and availability. I ordered the part on Sunday p.m. and got it on Tuesday p.m. at half the price quoted by a national chain.

  • Susan from Bend, OR
  • Really Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Screw drivers
The very first thing we did was turned the circuit breaker off and unplugged the range.
My husband removed the back panel and unplugged the switch. Drew a diaghram of the color coded wires. When we received the new one he broke the extension bar off to fit the knob, plugged it in and we were back in business. It was very easy for m y husband as he is a mechanic (millwright). However, if you are mechanically inclined it is an easy fix.

original burner would not heat
1 person found this instruction helpful.
  • tim from Murrysvile, PA
  • Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Screw drivers, Wrench set
Before ordering the new part, made sure the problem was the burner and not the wiring in this very old stove by putting an ohmmeter on the terminals of the burner after removing it. Since it showed no conductivity, the burner was bad (could have put the voltmeter on the wires and turned on the power to ensure power was coming in......bu t did not want to mess with 240 volt/high amperage. With power off at the breaker, installed new burner. One caution... since the wire on the burner terminals is pretty soft, don't bend them by putting too much torque on the screws. This turned out to be my only problem.....I had to clean up the screws and work them through the copper terminals with the burner outside the oven before attempting to screw them on the wire connectors in the oven. Not a big problem, but if you bend the terminals too much when you install the burner in the oven, you run the risk of shorting them together, or breaking one. And that would be a big problem.

Knob/switch would not turn right front burner on at all!

  • William from West Liberty, KY
  • Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Nutdriver, Pliers, Screw drivers
Pulled range out from the wall. Unplugged cord from outlet. Removed old knob, removed two phillips screws a very top of chrome trim, removed six nut-head screws from back to reveal the switches...removed two set screws from the front at knob base. Visually checked to make sure wiring post of new switch matched the old one. There was enoug h slack in the wiring to remove one wire at a time and connect it to the new switch in its appropriate place. Put new switch in the panel and secured with the two set screws. Select the bushing that would take up the slack for the old knob to fit on the new switch stem. Held new stem at its base with pliers and used another pair of pliers to snap the stem at appropriate length. (The new stem could not be broken off short enough to have the knob as flush to the panel as the other knobs...this was the only negative factor in the repair) Replaced nut-head screws and phillips screws. I was especially pleased with the quick delivery of the part...even without special shipping rates I received the part in less than 18 hours from the time I ordered it online!

removed the end caps from the stove panel, unscrewed the back, unscrewed the old switch, CAREFULLY noting which wire went to which terminal, removed the wires.
Reversed the process. took a little longer because I felt compelled to do a thorough cleaning while I was there.

The bake element corroded and wasn't working.

The repair was pretty easy. I unplugged the stove and took the 2 screws out that secured the element into the back of the stove. I then used a pair of needle nosed pliers to pull the wires off the element that wasn't working and then attached the wires to the new element. I then put the screws back in place securing the element to the sto ve and it was done. It took me about 5 mintues and the element worked immediately.

The only tool reguired was a 1/4 inch nut driver. Did the job in about 5 Minutes. The replacement fit and works perfectly.
