79071201701 Kenmore Range - Instructions

Ordered new racks and replaced them.

Apparently, the original insulation had been removed due to a mouse infestation-the unit had been in storage for a while. After removing about 50 screws, I had all the body panels off and cleaned out the interior of the stove then installed the new insulation. I put it all back together and hooked it up- works just like new. I only paid 60 bucks for this oven, so all in all, not a bad deal.

The hardest part was pulling the oven away from the wall. Two bolts hold the sensor in place and a clip connects the electronics. Replacing the old one was trivial.

I replaced the bulb using my hands to twist the bulb in the socket located at the top of the refrigerator.

The range top had to be taken off along with the front panel to get access to the place the burner pipe connects. It took more time to unassemble and assemble the range than repacing the burner. The only issue was that the burner was sent without the bolts that will hold it in place so I had to go to local hardware store to get appropriate bolts.

Watched the repair video on your web site. Used the video as a step by step guide in the actual repair.

I took the brads that were left from the old gasket off with needle nose pliers. Then I put the new one on. It was very easy.

I couldn't unscrew the leveling foot because it was rusted and corroded. The bracket holding it was easy to remove so I took the bracket with the corroded foot off and replaced it with the new foot and bracket. Very simple. I made sure I oiled it so it wouldn't rust again.

Turn off gas,unplug,unbolt the burners(you have to do this to keep from bending and or kinking over the gas lines.Luck kept me from bending the lines out of whack.)All I needed was the electrode but I couldn’t find it available separately.I had to buy the whole front burner.Anyway remove the clip from the new part slide the electrode out.Tilt the top of the range up take the clip off of the old electrode slide it out put the new one in install clip.Plug it in,rebolt all the burners in.Careful not to bend the gas lines.put the top down turn on the gas,plug it in and light.

turn the gas off unplugged it form electric removed the line took the flame plate off removed burner tube and the screw out with a nut driver that was all just put it back in reverse

1. Unplug the range to ensure there is no electricity running through the range. The repair can be done with the propane/gas line still connected.

2. If possible, remove the storage drawer for ease of access.

3. Remove the screw from the metal plate in the left corner of the oven. Detach the end of the igniter cord that you find plugged in there.

4. Remove the two screws that hold the igniter in place. The old igniter should fall to the bottom of the range.

5. Take a picture of the two other cord connections that run into the middle of the back wall. This will come in handy for reference when you install the new igniter.

6. Route the longer extension of the new igniter cord through the hole in the metal corner plate, attach the cord, and put the screw back in to secure the corner plate.

7. Affix the new igniter to the same spot the old one had been in, using the two screws from step 4.

8. Plug in the two shorter cord extensions, using the photo from step 5 if necessary.

9. Reattach the drawer if necessary and plug the range back in.

10. Set the clock, then set the oven to a desired temperature to begin heating. If the repair was successful, the igniter will light the gas piped into the range, and you will see a ring of flame.

The replacement racks were spot on and the service was outstanding. had the racks in 2 days. Happy Happy Joy Joy! :)

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.

It was a replace racks not repair. No problem

It went easy, I ordered the part from another vendor, received it in 3 days and it only took about 20 minutes to install.
I do not recommend ordering from PartSelect!
