91141169791 Kenmore Wall Oven - Instructions

Quick and easy, thanks!

1. Open oven door
2. insert oven racks (perfect fit)
3. close oven door. Done and finished - man am I tired

#1) Found electrical control breaker and moved to "off" position

#2) Removed two (2) screws with a nut driver, that were holding the bake element in position against the back wall of the oven. Gently pulled the original bake element out toward the door to expose the wire connectors from oven to element, then disengaged the connections.

#3) Removed the damaged element, replaced with the new element, reconnected the wires to the element, and returned same into the back wall opening and reinserted the two (2) screws with nut driver.

Repair was complete. Electrical breaker returned to on. Procedure Done!

Shut off electrical breaker to oven Remove front control panel by removing screws in the upper oven. Disconnect wiring to remove panel make sure you tag/mark where the wire harness connects to the pan. Disconnect electrical feeds from motor. Remove 4 motor assembly mounting screws. (maybe tight but it can be done). Clean screen before installing new motor. I couldn't get the lower screw in, so only replace 3 of 4 screws. Reverse instructions by re-connecting harness(s) and control panned and ave screws. Turn on electric breaker. All good

Parts Select is the only parts place I found on the internet that had what I needed on my first purchase, so when I needed these clips I naturally went back to them. Product was easy to find, price was fine, receipt for payment quick and more importantly receipt of item was super quick. Thanks to the efficiency of this place and my old appliances, I will continue to go to them as needed.

remove the screws, replaced the element, replaced the screws.

Easy

The first task is to turn off the breaker so there is no power coming to the oven. I learned in the hard way that even though the oven is turned off, there is still a hot wire connected to the bake element. Next,I removed the oven door and shelves. Then I used a nutdriver to remove the two screws holding the element in place. I expected to find a plug, however the element is connected to two wires buried in the insulation. I pulled the wires off of the bake element, connected them to the new element and put everything back together. This is not a difficult task.

First I unplugged unit. Theni removed the two screws that hold the element in place . Then went to pull the element out to disconnect the two wires,but was having alittle trouble. There for I removed the large plate(cover) on the back of range,and removed the wires from this location. Put the new element in place,reattached wires,screwed back plate back on ,and pluged back in.

Feedback on site warned me that broiler element is only connected to oven wiring with press-on spade lugs rather than screws. Even with care I managed to 'lose' a wire and had to retrieve it with section of stiff coat-hanger wire bent into a hook. Coming off that experience, I soldered the spade terminals together before reassembly to avoid a repeat. New element, however, failed to rectify problem. Professional technician found main control unit defective -- a $300 part including installation, but at least GE still has it available. My advice to others in this situation is to remove old element before ordering a replacement, and test with meter to see if it's defective. It may or may not be worth going beyond an element replacement to you.

nothing to it.

Removed oven from wall. Door slides up and off, and 4 screws into cabinet removed, and oven slides right out onto a coulple kitchen chairs positioned to support the oven. 1 man job to lift. Used nutdriver to remove metal cover on bottom back of oven to expose the slide on electrical connection. Used nutdriver to remove old bake element and install new bake element. Reconnected electrical wires, reinstalled back cover, and then reinstalled oven into cabinet. I actually removed the internal metal cover over the convection fan and element also but probably didn't need to do that to remove and install the new bake element.

1. shut power off (if it is a built in you will have to go to the house control panel to shut the power off). To ensure that it is off check the clock light prior and after you throw the switch it now should be off. 2. remove screws holding ovens in cabinet should be 8 (Phillips)on the sides of the ovens inside, you have to have to have the doors open to remove 4 top and 4 bottom 3. slide ovens out of cabinet about 4 to 6 inches (do not pull on doors) open the bottom door reach inside of oven and slide to the left and the right while gently lifting. 4. close the bottom door and open the top door. above the door and below the control panel you should see at least 3 screws I removed them with a socket and ratchet, but you can use a wrench or adjustable wrench. 5. on top of the panel you should see two screws (Phillips) on one on each side. remove the screws. 6. The control panel has a small tab in the middle of it, you will now be able to lift the cover that the tab is slid into (tin this is the top of the oven) while you hold the tin cover up about 1/4 inch hold on to the panel tipping the bottom out this should release the tab and allow you to pull the control panel out. Now close the top door and the panel should rest on the handle of the door. 7. looking into the top of oven you should see two limit switches (they are round with two screws holding them down with two wires that slide on the tabs) One of these in my case the one on the right runs the fan while the one in the center runs the door lock. To determine if the switch is faulty remove one of the wires from one of the limit switches and either tape or use a clamp or even a paper clip so the wires on the same limit switch will be touching. 8. now carefully put the control panel back tipping the bottom out to insert the tab in the top cover and put in one of the screws to hold it in place. 9. turn on the power check to see if the door lock is working correctly and the door lock light is out. If it is not working and you hear the fan running then you have jumped the wrong switch. If this is the case shut the power off then return the wire back on the jumped switch and repeat the process with the other limit switch. 10. after you jumped the correct switch the door lock light is off. Check the system with the power on by putting the oven in the self cleaning cycle. The door lock light should start to flash and after the door locks it will stay on steady. Press the stop or off button the door lock light will begin to flash and when the lock is released the door lock light should go out. If the door has been pulled on or forced open the locking device can strip and will only go so far with out locking the door. You will then have to remove the locking device with the motor and replace the motor. With the switch jumped and everything is working then this is the problem shut the power off and replace the switch. Caution there are two limit switches in the bottom oven also one with a reset that is about $50 it is bigger and will not bolt down. The one that is in mine is smaller and cost about $23 make sure that you order the correct one shown in the diagram provided by Parts select. 11. reinstall the control panel should be 3 screws on the bottom and 2 on the top. Open the top oven door and carefully slide the oven back in place pushing on the sides do not push on the oven door. Attach the cabinet screws 8 turn on the power.

1. Switch electricity off at circuit breaker panel. 2. With a helper slide door off hinges and set aside. 3. Remove all oven racks. 4. Using socket wrench remove the two screws attaching element to back of stove. 5. Pull the element from the back of the stove and slide off the 2 electric bayonet clips from the old element. 6. Install new element attaching the new element to the old electrical clips. Note: You may have to crimp down the clips to keep them secure to the new element. 7. Reinstall element screws to back of stove using nutdriver. 8. Insert racks and slide door back onto hinges. 9. Turn back on electricity. 10. Turn on element and let it "burn in" for a few minutes. Note: There will be a slight smell while doing this.

I carefully opened the oven door and slid the rack into the groove taking great care not to dislodge the heating element nor to burn myself on the cold oven door. I then pulled open the drawer on the oven and, again, with great care placed the broiler pan into the drawer and slid the drawer closed, again taking great pains to make sure I did not burn myself on the cold over. The reason for the length of repair time is I did not open the box for 2 days. Thanks for the laugh!!!!!!!!!!
