End cap on oven handle broke
3 of 3 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Valerie from Apollo Beach, FL
  • Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
Prices on drip pans were so reasonable I easily replaced them . No screws involved here. For end cap, had to remove both screws that held porcelin inner door wall to get to one other screw that held broken handle on outside of door. Put same screw into new end cap. Closed inner porcelin liner. Those two longer screws go through both p anels and screw into end cap (one for each end cap) There are two screws in each end cap. This saved me so much money and is the 2nd appliance I have fixed myself. 60 year old female. The other was my dishwasher. This site is a blessing.

I pulled the oven door off the hinges and took the bolts out of the bottom of the over that were holding the strip on. I then pulled the strip off and replaced it with the new on. I replaced the bolts and then replaced the door on the hinges.

I just removed the range elements and old bowls, placed the new bowls into the range top, and inserted the heating elements. What surprised me was the quickness in filling the order. I had the new parts the next day! Great!

Removed oven door (made sure hinges were locked open and stayed open). Remove part on top of trim, removed rusted trim and replaced with new trim. Replaced part on top of trim and screwed all back together. Put oven door back on and unlocked hinges. It was easier than the trial run (when I hadn't realized that the hinges weren't locked op en!)

old valve dripped gas when opened on cold sub zero day
4 of 7 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Alan from RADFORD, VA
  • A Bit Difficult
  • 1- 2 hours
  • Pliers, Screw drivers
old valve easily pulled out with screwdriver and pliers

install difficult due to 40 degree cold temp and bushing didn't want to squeeze into fuel tank hole

install required lots of liquid soap on bushing, which popped into place by using upward prying pressure from 3"X24" plywood braced into under-shelf of gas tank
