All Instructions for the RS386PXEB0

Original burner switch fell apart

Replacement was simple. Old switch was easily removed. Once I swapped the wires from old to new we were in business. One thing I would do differently than the included directions called for. I wish I had waited until I had installed the new switch to set the shaft length. I snapped off one too many sections of the shaft after measuring the original shaft as recommended. If I had installed the replacement switch and then set the shaft length it would have been more accurate. Everything still works but one knob is now slightly lower than the other three.

Burner stopped heating

My husband did the repair. It was so easy that I could have done it. He had to remove 3 screws and then hook up the element. Nothing to it!!

The bake element shorted out and melted in one place

Turned off the breaker at the panel (important!) unscrewed two nut headed screws pulled the element out to reveal the wires. Unplugged the wires making sure they do not pull back into the holes. Plug the wires into the new element push the poles into the holes and reattach the nut screws. Make sure the legs are holding the element off the bottom. Turn the breaker back on, and test.
