7909462990 Kenmore Range - Instructions

This range is probably 30+ years old. Still works great. Just needed to replace the Drip Bowls.

pulled the element out and found it burn the connectins on one side. so i had to pull the stove and open the back to get to wiring. put a new connecter on. then connected the new element. closed the back.

I unplugged the stove and used a flashlight for light. I tried a phillips head, but it was too big. I then got a set of pliers and unscrewed the two screws an pulled out the element. I removed the 2 electrical plugs from the ends of the element and attached the new ones. They went on from the top where as the old ones slid from the side. after pushing the element back in i screwed the screws back in and the backings were a tad large so I bent them up and presto it was fixed!

the repair itself went smoothly. the clips that the new part connected to were old and slack. the clip came undone and had to pull the stove out to get to part from the back. i squeezed the clip together to make it stay on the new part and it held. the oven is heating well now.

Unplugged elements. Removed old pans. Wiped out holes. Inserted new pans, replaced elements.

Removed the old ones and inserted the new ones.

Removed element by loosening two screws, disconnected heater element and connected new element and reattached to oven wall. Turn on oven to check for heater to work. Confirmed heater worked. Repair complete.

Cut the old block off tied new wires to hot wires . That easy!

Didn't get repaired because I could not get the right parts to fix it. You would send me a part for the oven. The oven and burner parts are not the same

my original part arrived and it did not fit. When I called to explain the problem I was told it was the wrong part. The big problem is... Frigidaire calls the receptacle a terminal block kit as well as a terminal block kit which is a totally different part. I tried to explain that to several different folks I spoke to at your company as well as Frigidaire but I'm not sure if I got that point across. Take a look at part # 530 393 5058 and part # 530 440 9888 and you will see that they both mention terminal block kit. Hopefully the part I am getting from Frigidaire is an OEM part and will fit.

Had to remove oven door due to cabinetry. Removed screws holding unit to back wall. Pulled unit forward to release unit from front roof and expose wire connections to unit. Trick #1--get both hands into oven to to remove wires from unit. Front hanger for unit was different than old unit. Had to remove front hanger from both units. Hanger from old unit had to be sqeezed onto new unit in the unit in the proper location to fit into the roof stirrup to hang the unit. Now, two arms and hands into the back of the oven to reconnect the wires to the element. Slide the old support into the stirrup and screw to back wall. Result, the back wall plate of the new element partially covered the edge of the light cover which will be a challenge to replace the bulb.

Plugged the new one in and it worked.
I did search out Frigidaire parts and there are other types tha may or may not work. Calrod burners are not all that unusual. I went with the real thing.

followed the video provided on line which was very helpful..

Removed the old element by sliding the wires
attached to it. Unscrew 2 screws, slide the
new one to the wirings and put the 2 screws back.
It works. Praise the Lord.

First shut power to oven off, removed the oven door and oven racks. Removed the 2 screws from the back of the oven holding the element in place. Slowley pulled the element out and removed the wires, pulled off with my fingers. Replaced the old with the new in the reverse order. Saving the Wife a pile of money.

Thank You,
