790441 Kenmore - Instructions

Shut power off to appliance. Replaced burner switch. Removed three screws in access panel to get to switch. Removed two screws that held switch in place. Removed wires from old switch and attached to new switch. Replaced switch screws and then replaced access panel screws. Easy fix. Saved an $85.00 service call fee.

After removing pots / pans in cabinet below cook top and turning off the power, I was able to remove the panel held by 2 screws. Pulling the old light out was just a little difficult as it came in pieces. New one popped right in, hooked up terminals, replaced the panel and that was it !!

Turned off electric at the main box. Removed glass top. Used a razor knife to pry the connections loose so that the new connections could be slid in. Problem was that the element ordered looked entirely different then the original one. Even the hookup was different. But once the connections were made, the ceramic top placed on top, and the electric restored everything seemed okay. The warmer works and when it heats up the warning light turns on. When the warmer cools the warning light goes off as it should.

Turn off braker,lift cooktop from counter and remove acces panel unscrew switch from cooktop and replace one wirer at the time than resrew everything together.

I ordered the 8" burner switch and two of the screws! I flipped the surface top up side down and removed 2 screws that held the cover over all the switches. I flipped it right side up to remove the 2 screws in the bad switch, flipped it over again to switch the wires from bad switch to new one, being careful to keep the letters and numbers matched. Replaced the 2 screws on top side and replaced the cover on the bottom and went back to cooking! Very easy!
