le to pull the entire switch out to the rear leaving all wires attached.The new switch looked different from the original and the wires were configured differently but the wires were clearly marked. By removing one at a time and placing it on the new switch to the corresponding marking,it was a simple matter to wire the switch.I reinstalled the switch in the panel,put back in the screws to hold the switch, slid the knob back on the stem, reinstalled the rear panel,and plugged the power cord back in.The switch worked perfectly.

Replace rest of wiring harness, then plug in new connecter, secure this wire to the others with electrical tape or cable tie to ensure it stays put. Replace back panel.

Really straightforward - just took door off of the hinges and worked taking it apart until I got to the front glass that was cracked. Took it out and put the new piece in and reversed the process. Really easy and I got to clean each piece on the way back in to get rid of some spills.

When I called parts select, the agent was helpful and knowledgeable. She walked me through which rack number was necessary to replace my damaged racks. I received the parts the following day, less than 24 hours following the placement of the order. I will definitely use parts select when needing parts in the future.

Oven not heating up properly

I removed back cover and replaced the probe. The troubleshooting info indicated this is the problem 99% of the time. Guess what, it did not help! Further checks indicate that broil element may be out. Am going to resistance check and order if that is the problem.
