Oven light receptacle broken - bulb base broke off
Turned power off at electrical panel. Pulled oven away from wall. Removed back cover (6 screws), then unplugged wires from old receptacle. I had to pull the squeeze clips backwards & break them to remove the old receptacle - couldn't squeeze them enough to remove them otherwise. The old receptacle came out through the inside of the oven, and the new one snapped in easily from inside the oven as well. Replaced wiring, installed new bulb, restored power & tested. Replaced back cover. Good time to vacuum under/behind where the oven usually lives before sliding it back to the wall.

minimal/no heat
turned off main power; took a flash light, unscrewed existing element and disconnected it from the wiring; compared existing with new elements as the shipping label said "ABSOLUTELY NOTHING MAY BE RETURNED IF IT APPEARS THAT IT HAS BEEN INSTALLED"; it appeared to be close enough but not exact. Connected wiring to new element, shoved it back into the insultation, screwed in the element with the same screws. Viola' all worked as it should. I even set my oven on the "self clean" cycle which is 3 hours on high. Overall it was very easy.

replaced the burned out bake element in my wall oven
first, I watched the video that partselect provides, then followed the instuctions that I learned from the video, I turned off the power to the appliance, removed the oven racks, removed the screws from the plate that held the oven rack in place and gently pulled it out far enough to remove the ends of the element from the electrical current wires, finished removing the burnt out element and replaced it with the new one from Partselect by repacing the new element ends on the electrical current wires and screwed it into place and replaced the racks, turned on the power and baked my pie. I am a 71 year old widow who was able to accomplish this with the good instructions provided by Partselect, this was the first time I have ever tried to do anything like this on my own.

Both oven bake and broil elements lost power suddenly at the same time.
Installation of the temparature sensor, one of the technician recommended parts took no time, just two screws and a snap off/snap on part. It did not fix the problem. I then replaced the main control panel, which requires more work, but didn't solce the ussue either. I then replaced the thermal fuse, which wasn't mentioned by tech support, and required much more disassebly of the top panels of the stove, with still no fix to the problem. I am waiting to replace the thermostat heat sensor unit, the only other part in the circuit controlling power supply, requiring removal of the stove top again,
