21246 (1988) Kenmore Range - Instructions

I watched the youtube video that was provided by this website on my computer while doing this repair step by step. It was a snap!

Received the part the day after ordering. Appreciated the quick service and repair took less than a minute.

pulled one off and pushed the other one on.fino

Received the part within 10 days and installed in less than 60 seconds.

The new knobs were simply pressed in placed on the existing shaft, perfect fit, looks just like new, yet 24 years old. Would tell family and friends to shop for parts at Part Select.

Remove screws, remove old coil, place new coil, screw back in. The hardest part of this task is removing the existing screws which are most likely partially corroded and hard to move.

The heating element in our old old oven broke in half. Luckily we were able to find a replacement part (which we didn't think we would that's how old the oven is)! The part arrived within a couple of days, my husband removed the old element (toughest part was getting the two old screws unscrewed) plugged in the new one and he was done. Took about 5 minutes! I turned on the over to test it was connect properly and it started heating up right away! We are VERY happy !! :o)

We removed the 2 screws at back of oven that hold element on, which took some doing as they were very rusted. We then pulled old element out; this proved a bit difficult because the ends of the old element were stuck in the insulation behind. We had to wiggle the old element back and forth a bit to get it loose from the insulation. Other than that, it was easy.

My husband removed the old element and replaced it with the new one. I think he used a screw driver to remove and replace. The part shipped and arrive in 5 days. Quick and easy!

The most difficult part of the repair was removing the two Phillips screws that attached the element to the back wall of the oven. With some WD40, and a hammer to tap on the screws through the screw driver (and several hours) the screws finally came loose. Once the screws were out it was a matter of removing the two wires connected to the element and reconnecting the wires to the new element. After removing the screws this job took less than 5 minutes.

Removed racks from oven, unscrewed two screws holding old element in place with philips head screw driver from the back wall of oven. Carefully pulled element from oven to expose connecting wires and then pulled two wires loose from old element. Reconnected wires on new element and carefully reinstalled element to rear of oven interior with two screws removed from original element.

We watched the video demo & followed it step by step. The project took about 35 minutes and we replaced the hinge on each side of the oven. First we removed the oven from the wall, then dismantled it & cleaned it thoroughly, removed the old hinges and replaced with new ones. the only problem we had was that the pin holding the hinge open was missing on one of the hinges, but we cut a nail and inserted it to hold the hinge open. The job was completed quickly, and the oven door fits and works well. Thanks for the video--it really helped us.

Loosen two screws to remove door. Removed outside trim and other outside screws hold center panel in place. Removed one screw holding hinge in place. Screwed new hinge in place. Re-attached center panel to outside trim and hung door. Easy enough.

We found the youtube video created by partselect.com and followed it. We took the door apart, cleaned the inside, removed the old hinges and replaced them with the new ones. Now the door works perfectly!

Unlike many here, the oven door closed enough to come up to temperature quickly and I could not feel any heat escaping. The oven worked fine but the light stayed on because the door just wasn't snug enough. I watched the great how-to video and ordered the hinges. They arrived in two or three days! I set up a work space, cued up the video again and the new hinges were installed in just a few minutes! But the door would not close enough to turn the light off! I did some more googling around and found the magnet trick! I just happened to have the perfect size magnet from a broken souvenir magnet! and now the light stays off! I stuck the magnet (about the size of a nickel) inside the door opposite the light button. This won't help if you have serious problems with the oven door, but it works if the only problem is the light!
