Replaced the safety thermostat and disconnected the oven light.

Turn off the power to the stove, either by tripping the circuit breaker or unplugging the stove. Open the oven door. Unscrew 4 screws on the inside top of the oven releasing the cooktop.
Lift the front of the cooktop and release it from the retaining brackets on the back of the oven. The element will be exposed. Disconnect the wires remembering the locations. It is pretty simple because the wires are in a harness. There are three clips holding the element in place. With needle nose pliers, disconnect the clips from the surface. Remove the element. The retaining clips are in holes in the back of the element. The holes are numbered. Remember which number holes are being populated with a clip. Remove the clip from the old element and place it on the new element in the same hole #. Place the new element into the vacated space on the cooktop place the three clips in their respective places which will align the wires. Hook up the wires to the new element. Replace the cooktop (I cleaned it first) and screw it back into place. Turn the power back on and you should be good to go.

pulled stove away from wall. took back cover off by removing 10 screws. Identified switch number and ordered replacement switch. pulled knob off front and removed 2 screws from switch and pulled switch out. swapped switch wires and reinstalled switch, back cover and slid stove back into place. Very easy, the whole process took about 1/2 hour.

Simple-pulled range away from wall, unplug from socket. Removed back panel unscrewed thermoses and replace. Put back panel back on plug in, tested temperature setting before sliding range back on place

It was easy to remove the old oven door gasket. Just a little tug was all that was needed. Installing new gasket was just as simple as tucking in the gasket end into the hole at the bottom and pushing the clip in the corresponding hole.
TIP: roll the end of the gasket and feed into the hole then use a small tipped screw driver or the point of a needle nose plier to finish installing the ends into the hole at the bottom of the door opening.

Took out 2 screws took old one out an put new one in it even came with a heating element to replace which was sooo very nice! I had very good service from ordering to receiving! Everyone was very nice I will deal with this company again!

Very easy. Pulled the stove away from the wall. Used a screw driver to remove the two nuts to release the heat sensor, disconnected the wire, removed the sensor. Inserted the new sensor, plugged back into the circuit. put the two nuts back.
Beware, if the first time you put the oven on, if the error message comes back up (mine did) push the cancel/off button, wait a few minutes, put oven back on. System probably needed to reset. Mine worked perfectly after.

I read the help section and it said that the element was likely to be the problem (84%) and the fuse had a 14% chance to be the problem so I purchased both. After watching the video I tried the element first and that's what it was so I returned the fuse, Thanks for the help and video.

The company said it would cost me $698 to repair. I had a 2 year warranty and that was 2 months out of date.

Again thanks for the help.

Watch the video...

Purchased new switch shut off breaker unscrew the back plate remove front knob and two screws that hold it on remove the two electrical clips from old switch then reinstall in reverse order. Also watched the youtube video before hand, great help!

The old part, including lightbulb and socket, had corroded into place, and the glass light cover was stuck to the socket. I used a dead blow hammer and a dowel just under the diameter of the hole to tap on the back side of the socket to loosen it and get it out. The metal tabs on the old socket were folded back to make it fit better (?), which made it harder to remove. Lots of muscling of the part to get it out. Easy to install new part once old one was out of the way. An experienced person would have removed the old part and installed the new in no time.

Just follow included instructions.
