79070281407 Kenmore Range - Instructions
Keep searches simple. Use keywords, e.g. "leaking", "pump", "broken" or "fit".
Oven would not heat
Unplug the range, remove racks. Remove 2 screws from the bottom back corners ( this was the hardest part. I used a stubby screwdriver, but a longer one would be better. They are fairly long screws). Remove oven bottom, lifting from the rear. Remove burner cover. Bottom left corner is a triangle cover. Remove this too. Remove the 2 screws holding the old igniter in place. The igniter unplugs easily. ( I used pliers, the plug has a clip, and pliers grip better.) Install new igniter ( it only fits in one way ) reinstall mounting screws and covers. Replace oven bottom. (I didn't replace the 2 screws. The bottom sits solidly, and they are a bit of a pain.) Plug in, set clock, test for oven to fire up.

Bad oven igniter
It’s a plug in part so other than working on your side while lying on the floor it was a snap. 20-25 mins.
It helps to remove the bottom drawer completely to gain easier access.

I forgot to remove something I had saved in the oven, planning to remove it before using the range.
Very simple. Removed oven rack that had melted residue on it and replaced it with the new one from your company. I want to tell you that the delivery service I received was just geat. Took less than 48 hours to arrive at my home from the time I placed the order on line. Keep up the good work and I will be happy to share my experience with those in need of you services. Thanks.

Stove was dropped and had broken, bent frame and adjuster feet
New ones fit perfectly. Take a minute to bend the frame straight. Then and I used oversize screws on the replacement parts as the drop had stripped out the screw holes of the frame.
