Removed the knobs. Remove the four screws holding the cover and then replced the old cover with the new one. Tightened the four screws and replaced the knobs.

Old range knobs were broken. I just pulled them off and pushed on the new knobs.

First I removed the stove on and off knobs and then I lifted the cover and unscrewed 4 screws removed old trim and inserted new trim and screwed in the 4 screws , lower the cover and replaced the knobs.

Slipped on

1. I accessed the burner ignition switches by lifting off stove top, sliding off burner knobs and oven knob, and removing the front switch cover (secured with 4 screws on top and 2 screws underneath).

2. I diagnosed which switch was broken: all four switches are wired together, so one faulty switch will affect sparking on both ... Read more the left and right sides of the stove. I suspected a particular switch because that burner had occasionally struggled to ignite in recent weeks and felt "loose" when turned on.

After unplugging the stove from the electrical outlet and turning on the range fan, I slid several of the switches off their gas valve stems. When comparing the suspect switch to two other switches, the suspect switch felt "loose" when rotated and didn't have the same places of resistance that the other two had.

Feeling more confident that I had found the broken switch, I used pliers to pull out the four wires connecting the suspect switch to the other switches -- it took a good bit of force, there's no convenient release. Now I could access the switch terminals, so I used a multimeter to confirm that the suspect switch didn't have any change in electrical resistance when turned on/off -- it was broken.

3. I removed the broken switch and wired its neighbors together. I plugged the stove back in and checked that this had solved the problem -- no more continuous sparking, and the other three burners still worked.

While I waited several days for the replacement switch to arrive, I reassembled everything besides the broken burner's knob (to remind me to not use that burner), and continued using the other three burners normally.

4. When the replacement switch arrived, I inserted the original four wires into the new switch's terminal holes in the original configuration (again, it took a little force), reassembled everything, and was good to go.

I shall clarify that it's not the repairing is difficult, but the process to find the right parts. My surface burner from Magic Chef is over 20 years old abut works very well. However, the knobs are broken. It took me many hours searching online and visiting multiple appliance stores to finally find the correct one here. So, I want to sha ...

using the diagram shown on line Looked up the ignition module and ordered it by phone. Received it the next day and installed it within the hour. Previously I had called the repairman and he said it would be a couple of weeks before he could look at it and a service call was $75 plus parts..I fixed it for the cost of the module $34. I ...

The reinstall was the hardest because the amount of tension with the spring. Had to cobble something together to hold spring tension until I got the new nut plug started. To bad you don’t give instructions and or tools to help with the actual install.

It was very simple: I pulled off the old knobs and installed the new ones. All I had to do to install the new ones was to press them into place. They give my stovetop a whole new look!

Had to locate your website because the universal knobs at the major stores didn'te work. I received them quickly and simpal install.

Pulled off old knobs, replaced with new knobs. Took less than 30 seconds. Easy as 1-2-3. I'm happy.

Easy, removed from box, put in place on range. Happy customer. Good company to find exact replacement parts.

I had given up on trying to replace my burner knobs.I looked on line and found Partselect. I called and Marsha was great help she suggested I try a certain knob, thought they might fit since the model number was close. So they arrived and were a perfect fit. Thank you so very much. We have been looking for knobs at least three years.

I simply put the knobs into place--they fit perfectly, and the cooktop is now is working order. Thank you!

I pulled off my knobs and put on the new ones from the kit I ordered from you. They were a "D" fitting. I did do a little cleaning before putting the new ones on, but it was really easy.
