unscrewed 2 screws holding element to back of oven, disconnected connectors from element, connected new element, replaced the screws and done. if you don't trust oven controls then unplug oven/switch off circuit breaker first.

I removed 2 screws to release the plate that held four the switces. I removed 2 screws to release the bad switch. I removed one wire at a time and connected the to the same post on the new switch, screwed the switch into place and reinsalled the mounting plate. The stove works fine.

Tripped the breaker to the electrical, took out 2 screws unplugged old element, plugged in new element, replaced the 2 screws and turned electric back on.

We followed the instructions on the video after receiving our part - they were perfect instructions and led us right through the repair. I have to say it would have been harder to do with one person - but probably doable.

First I shut off the breaker that supplied power to the range. After removing the oven racks, I undid the two screws that hold the element in place. Then, I gently pulled the element out of the back wall of the over and removed the two clamps holding the wires in place. I put the new element in place, applied the wires, pushed it back into place, and replaced the screws. Last, I turned the circuit breaker back on and checked to make sure the oven heated up. Total time was less than 15 minutes.

Easy as Pie.

As an arthritic 83 yr old I had a little trouble removing the two screws holding old element but with penetrating oil and channel locks on the screwdriver for leverage that problem was solved. Installation of new element was a snap, a matter of minutes to connect the element spades to the wire contacts and relace the two screws holding the element to the oven cabinet.

To remove the old switch I removed the four screws holding the control panel (Oven door must be open to get at screws)Removing the old switch took a few more minutes as with age of the unit the male spade contacts of the switch were tight on the female wire contacts and I carefully used needle nose pliers to free them. I quickly learned not to remove the two screws holding the switch to the panel until the switch spades were free from the female wire contacts. Installation of the new switch was easy. I replaced the panel with four screws, checked everything, reset the circuit breaker and I was back in business.

My Neighbor took about 5 min to put the new part in place. very easy!!!one screw was tough to remove but that was the hard part. It was very simple to do.

First I moved the left rear burner to the right front. No change. Then I moved the burner units from left to right, No change. I guessed it was the control switch and ordered from PartSelect. Turnaround time from PartSelect was excellent.
I turned off the powerr to the range. Removed the screws holding on the front panel and then pulled the panel out far enough to see behind it. I located the faulty control switch and then held the new switch, next to it, and turning to proper orientation. I then, one at a time moved the wires to the new switch. After that it was mount the new switch, put the panel back in place and turn on the power.

I went to the source of power on the stove and noticed one of the terminals had come loose from the terminal block and had shorted out against the cover of the terminal junction. After prying the loose terminal off cover I ordered new terminal block and received it the 2nd day. I removed the old terminal block and replaced the part in about 10 minutes..Thank you Parts Select for your easy to find diagrams and quick delivery.
