back R burner of ceramic top stove went out - died
1st - UNPLUGGED appliance from electrical source!! then removed screws to open ceramic stove top, disconnected wires from dead element, plugged in wires to new element, closed stove top, turned on burner - it worked!!
only problem is that "hot burner indicator" does NOT stay lit after burner is turned off!
1. Open oven door to first detent, then pull it up off the hinges. 2. Pull oven out from counter 10-12 inches. 3. Hinges are accessible from the outside of the oven. 4. Remove 2 screws on each hinge and remove old hinges. 5. Put new hinges in place and try to insert mounting screws. 6. Wonder why screws won't start in threads. 7. Examine new hinges and notice they are not threaded for the screws. 8. Screws are not self-tapping, so go to basement and get tap & die set. 9. Use 10-24 tap to make threads in new hinges. 10. Put new hinges in place and insert mounting screws. Tighten. 11. Pull hinges to first detent and put oven door on hinges. 12. Push oven back into place in counter.
Shut off breaker, assure zero energy. Using phillips screwdriver remove old element, unplug wires from element. Reconnect wires to new element, secure screws. Assure all tools removed and people are clear before re-energizing power to range. I was not happy with the packaging, the new element came in a box with no protective packing material!
First be sure to unplug stove or turn off from breaker switch. I Removed racks from oven . Using screwdriver I loosened the back plate in the oven that held the wires connected to heating element , being careful not to let wires fall through holes . Gently pull element tip apart from wire. Snap end of new element to wires, screw plates back to tighten Turn oven on and check to assure heating properly. Very simple
ovens wouldn't maintain temperature after preheat cycle
unplugged oven. removed 2 screws that hold the sensor in place, then removed the dozen or so screws that hold on the rear panel, unplugged sensor and fed wire through insulation. identified and installed correct harness adapter then fed new wire and connecter through insulation and connected to adapter. installed sensor retaining screws.plugged oven back in and tested function.no dice. unplugged oven once again. removed oven control panel and upon inspection of printed circuit board discovered 3 solder joints had failed. dang. resoldered failed joints and also sweetened up a few others that looked suspect. reinstalled controller, replaced all retaining hardware, and plugged in the oven. tah-dah!! works like a charm now. moral of the story is check the pc board first and save $50 for unneeded pats!!! or buy the controller from parts direct for $260ish. btw a roll of solder and soldering iron from an auto parts store cost around $10, learned to solder on you-tube $0. amazing all the home appliances yo can fix if you're not afraid to take a few screws out and poke around a bit. CHEERS!
swap a known good coil around and still did not work. then measured voltage across the switch terminals and found out one leg was opened. Ordered a new switch which looked alike. The new switch could handle more current than the old one. Turned out that all terminals of the new switch were same size while the old one had 1 smaller size. Used the dremer tool to file it to fit the wire terminal. Also the burner knob had different grove type . Just forced it in.
I was pleased with how the job went. It took longer than expected because I am not really a "do it yourselfer", but I studied the door and reread how others managed the repair several times. There were more screws than mentioned here. Someone said 10 screws but there were 12. In the end I was pleased and surprised how simple the job was, but recommend others read carefully what others have written. I didn't but learned one must.
Indicator Lens melted and fell back into the control panel
I took the back panel off, removed the old lens, installed the new lens. How easy to order from home, receive the part, do the repair and pay less than it costs to simply drive to the parts house. Cool....
The entire "project" took me less than 3 minutes, and required no tools at all! First, the saleswoman over the phone pointed me to the correct product for my problem ($30 less than what I thought I needed), and it arrived at my home within 4 days. Then, it was just a matter of pulling off the old gasket, and snapping the new one in place! Simple!
After cleaning, F1-1 error flashed and neither oven worked
First I called a repairman and left a message. That was 3 weeks ago. So, I 'googled' the error message and determined what part I thought I needed. Ordered the part on Wednesday evening and it was there when I got home from work on Friday. I unpacked the part, got a phillips screwdriver and then watched the repair video on your website. About 20 minutes later I pushed my stove back in place and the flashing said 'set time'. Then I checked both ovens, and have since used both, and everything works!!
