79060071794 Kenmore Range - Instructions

My brother is a licensed electrician, so the job was relatively easy for him. The pieces of insulation were pre-cut to fit, so there was no trimming involved. He tilted the oven over on its back to replace the piece of insulation under the oven. Removed the metal panel between the storage drawer and oven bottom, removed the soiled insulation and wiped everything down with vinegar. Placed the new insulation and reinstalled the metal panel and drawer. Removed the oven/range top and again removed the soiled insulation, wiped everything down and installed the new insulation (this piece of insulation was the wrap around one that goes under the range top - across the top of the oven and down both sides). Replaced the oven top, then did the back panel - this one was the most time consuming, due to the need to disconnect some of the wiring and sensors, as well as having to loosen the panel where the control knobs are located in order to remove the inner panel to get to the insulation. The insulation was precut to fit around the oven light bulb, so just had to make sure we installed it right side up :). Have used the oven several times since and no more smell!!

Reviewed the online repair video a few times then got started. Although only two were bad, I replaced all four terminal blocks. I removed the range top instead of using the built in kick stands. this left me much more room to work and I was able to clean the top of the range really well before getting started. Wires for the back terminals where short and a little difficult to use after cutting off the old terminal blocks. The terminal block mounting option for my style range included with the repair kit would not allow me to utilize the screw for the third wire on the left rear burner. I used a drill to carefully widen the hole in the mount to make the original screw fit as there are no screws included with the kit. This added the extra time to complete the repair. Over all the repair was simple to complete but having to modify the terminal block mount was dissapointing considering the web site selected parts for my specific model number. Still a bargain compared to what a service call or new purchase costs. I will be reparing my ranges from now on.

if iever need to do this again i will unplug the stove and take the back off. iwill remove the spade connectors from the back and remove and replace the unit from the front. from the rear i will replace the spade connectors and the insulation . plug in the stove and make sure everything works. unplugthe stove, put on the back,plug in the stove and position it.

I replaced the generic drip bowls with the ones I ordered here and the work perfectly. The heating elements now sit level and I am very happy with them. Very easy to replace.

I just installed the extra rack and re-arranged the existing ones. Works great!

purchased correct part from PartSelect and it fit like a glove!

The new drip bowls are beautiful, fit perfectly. Person I spoke to when there was a bit of mix-up in delivery was exceptionally wonderful! Thanks.

We recently purchased condo and WhiteWestinghouse range needed some love. the old racks were not in very good shape so we ordered new.

Got new surface element. Unplugged the old element, plugged in the new surface element, turned the stove top on, and it worked! Took less than 5 minutes and I'm pleased! Will probably or the same two so all my elements are nice and new. Great experience.

Just plugged it in! The hardest part was finding the model number. It was inside the top of the stove,while cleaning, I found it-on the left hand side when you take out the burner pans. I searched this site, found the part and when it arrived I just plugged it in and it worked fine. I would say less than 5 minutes to fix this issue.

Very simply following the online video instructions.
