Half of broiler element worked
Turned off power at panel. Removed 2 Phillips screws holding broiler element support in place. Squirted 2 additional Phillips head screws attaching element to back of stove with WD-40 and removed screws. Slid element out to access electrical connection and used short phillips screwdriver to remove. Reattached electrical connection to new element with short screwdriver (no fun as you are cantilevered into the oven and have to hold the element, the screw and the screwdriver to do this). Slid element into support and screwed support to top of stove cavity to align element. Installed screws holding element onto back wall. Turned on power and ran element long enough to dissipate WD-40 fumes.

Burnt out
All went well except for error on instruction sheet.
Ground wire used on earlier Models attached to the ground lug is no longer used?? and should be removed!!! Guess what the ground wire has to be used or the element will not heat up.Soooo someone at the mfg. has no ideal what they are talking about,You have to ground the element or it will not come on.

Simple - needed to replace the drip pans on the stove between tenants in a rental apartment
This wasn't much of a repair -- rather a replacement of a simple abused part. At the same time, PartSelect allowed me to order what I needed after two failed attempts to buy replacements that would fit the range. I'll remember PartSelect if we need parts for other older appliances in the rental units.

Drip bowls very dirty and stained
Remove burner elements. Remove old drip pans. Thoroughly clean stove top under drip pan edges, and under top cover. Install new drip pans. Install burner elements.
I never seem to be able to find the correct replacement drip pans at retail outlets in the quantities I need. Your parts identification, selection and ordering processes were simple and delivery was faster than I hed expected.
Thank you
