Lacking oven racks on used appliance
Your website is great...easy and it literally took me no mote than 5 minutes to find what I needed and order...and received it VERY quickly. Must say I was dreading going to some parts house that we have in our town in bad area, and searching on dusty shelves for what I needed...am so glad I found you!!

Remove broken hinge from oven and replace.
I looked up the model number of the Tappan oven on the net, found the part on the PartSelect site, ordered it and it arrived within a few days. The disassembly should have required nothing more than a Phillips head screw driver, unfortunately one of the screws was completely frozen and I managed to strip the Phillips head socket.

The screw was in a very awkward position so I first tried using grip pliers on the edge of the screw - this failed, I then tried grinding a flat spot on either side of the screw circumference and using the flats for gripping - it worked but the screw wouldn't move. Finally, I took a hacksaw blade and cut a slot in the head of the screw. I widened the slot using miniature files and finally made the slot wide enough for a large slot blade screwdriver - this worked. After removing that one screw and maneuvering the broken hinge out of the access hole on the stove front (the break in the hinge was such that this took awhile) the rest of the repair went very quickly.

The oven door was such that I could not see all of the hinge and when the part arrived from PartSelect I thought it was the wrong part. I called your parts return number to ask some questions. The lady who took my call was extremely helpful and we first discussed the part ID, then she showed me how to find a picture of the actual part on your site. After looking at the picture and the diagram I suddenly realized the part was correct - it was just that I thought it was supposed to be installed in a different manner. I'm sorry I didn't remember to get her name because she certainly should be commended for he patience and her assistance. Thanks Again.

Old handle was rusted.
Repair was easy. just unscrewed the old handle, holes measured correctly and screwed in the new handle.The only flaw was that it did not come with the two end caps,they have to be bought separately & the handle ends are sharp without them.

Oven thermostat knob lost or broken
An all-purpose hardware-store knob didn't work, the shaft was way too short.With the aid of the Part-Select diagram,I found the correct stove model number. The simple little Tappan oven control knob cost over $30. I checked other appliance part vendors on-line, but found their part descriptions imprecise and equally expensive. I ordered the part and it arrived in 2 days and worked perfectly. An appliance store had told me I wouldn't find a retrofit on such an old stove and I would have to buy a new stove!

My range drip pans were rusty and crusty.
I found your website fast and easy. I needed replacement drip pans fast, ordered them on-line, and received them within 3 days of ordering. Your parts were the best deal, the least shipping charges, and the picture and description on your website was the best. Thanks.

Old drip pans were rusty
As the previous people stated on similar repairs;
I took the new drip pans out of the box,removed the old grate burners and the old rusty drip pans; then, simply set the new pans in place and replaced the existing grates. This whole process took less than 10 minutes.

Disgusting Drip Pans
Opened the box, took out the drip pans and the put them on the stove. Wow -- even a techno-challenged person like myself could do this! I ordered these on a Tues. at 2:00 p.m. and received them on Wednesday -- that is a first so thanks for the fast service and they look great! Was non-existent to find them at local appliance stores in the area so thank you for having them.

After years of heavy cooking, I couldn't get the drip pans clean
Found replacement drip pans at partselect.com.
Ordered them and received them in 2 days.
installed the new ones and all is well.
Had I known it was this easy, I wouldn't have spent countless hours scrubbing the old pans with Brillo pads. Considering how much I spent on oven cleaner, scouring powder and steel wools pads, it was lest costly to just buy new ones. (and they look better too).
Thank you PartSelect.

drip pans burned and stained.
No major hardware stores had anything close. One visit to you site was all it took. Parts were loose so we removed them and replaced.

Needed new drip pans because others were looking bad.
No tools were required. All I had to do was lift off the burner grate. I removed the old drip pans. Put the new drip pans in. I then put the burner grates back on. I did this with all four burners. That's all there was to it. Easy as 1-2-3.
