79090102207 Kenmore Range - Instructions

First I want to thank Part Select for having the video online or I would not have attempted the repair. Also I saved over $75 on the parts!!!!!! It would have cost me $105 for parts and $125 for service tech to replace the burned off terminal blocks with new ones. Parts cost me $35 with shippiing, I did the repair saving me $195 !!!!!!!!! I replaced the parts as describied in the video and all is well. By the way, I got the parts in less than 24hours after ordering, cheaper than driving 30 miles to pick up overpriced parts !!!!

watched a U-Tube video on this subject.....worked like aa charm!!

once I figured out how to get to it it was fairly easy, make sure you carefully disconnect the indicators lights for the speed bake and surface before you try to remove.

The repair went really well, from the time I talked with the rep on the phone it was twenty four hours later and the part was in my hands. Great service! Because it was just the clock overlay all it took was a screwdriver to take the panel off and peel the old one off a nd stick the new one on. I will use part select again in the future.

Figured out that light and door switch started the convection fan on when door is closed. Found the switch defective. Found exploded view online of switch in oven. Had to figure out that the range top needed to be removed to access the switch from inside the top part of oven. Unscrewed at least (6) screws to free up the range top. Squeezed the inside switch clips to allow switch to be pulled out from outside of oven. Disconnected electrical receptacle and plugged into new switch. Pushed in new switch til it snapped into place. Reinstalled range top.

Received replacement thermostat from your Co. that was identical to the one removed, down to the lettering on the part! After the "handyman" replaced the old thermostat which was easily accomplished by removing the back panel of the oven and installing the part we continued to have the same problem with the lower oven not reaching the set temperature. Obviously this was a mis-diagnosis. Appreciate your prompt attention in sending the new thermostat and your followup of the problem.

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.
