CSS2780S-1 General Electric Range - Instructions

repair was easy and the video was very good. My only problem, I had to go buy a tool, I did not have a nut driver.

The reason the brackets didn't go on to the handle far enough was there was a molding defect inside one of the brackets. After alot of scraping at the inside of the bracket and lightly tapping with a soft hammer I was able to get the defective bracket on so that the holes lined up to the mounting plate. As for the extra nipples I had two options. Either cut the nipples off or drill some holes in the metal plate that the brackets attach to. I chose the latter. I had to attach the brackets to the plate with extra long screws, reach in under the bracket with a scribe and mark the nipple location on the plate. Then I removed the handle and drilled two holes for each bracket. After some minor adjustments to the holes I was able to attach both brackets and reassemble the oven door.

removed the broken parts and screwed on the new parts.

Very detailed repair instructions on internet made installation of new end caps a job not needing a professioal.

When I got the part I removed the tin cover (two screws)on the back of the range. I removed the sensor by removing the two screws inside the oven and pulled out the sensor. taking the instructions advise, I checked the sensor with my ohm meter and although it read 1.1 ohms as compared with the recommended 1.09 ohms at room temperature in the instructions, went ahead and changed the unit. The connector did not fit my particular model so I spliced the wiring and using the two included wire nuts made the connection. I reinstalled the sensor, reattached the gas line, plugged it in and tried the oven before I put it back in place. The oven works great now and it was super easy.

Pull door from oven and place on flat work surface. Remove bottom screws then the top screws and separate the two halves of the door . Remove broken door handles and replace reassemble door and place back on oven. The hardest thing was to clean the grease out of the inside of the door and get the glass clean to reassemble the door.

First of all, go to circuit breaker box and switch off the power to the oven.

Return to oven and verify the power is definitely off.

Open oven door to 'vent' position and remove door. Return hinges to closed position. Remove all racks.

Using nut driver (1/4-inch) remove the two screws just above the element.

Gently rock the element back and forth while pulling gently toward yourself. You should see two wires emerging from the layer of insulation in back of oven. When you have enough wire exposed, use long-nose pliers to gently rock the 'Faston' connectors and pull them off the element's male connectors.

Insert new element and re-install the connectors, being certain they are fully engaged.

Fasten the new element to the back wall of the oven using nut driver. Be careful to not cross-thread - gentle is the word!

Turn the circuit breaker on and very briefly turn the oven to Bake and verify the element is heating. It likely will smoke a bit.

Re-install the racks and the door. Reset the clock.

You should be done and your oven should run for many years..

Removed door from oven. Removed all side screws and pulled front assembly from door. Discarded old screws and broken plastic pieces. Put old handle in new end caps and lined them up with screw entry holes. It took 2 people to hold the door up while pressing in the screws to enter the new plastic receivers on the end caps. A pretty easy fix.

REmoved the covers, removed the old part, be careful with the electrical connections, they move back behind the wall and are hard to get back in the open. While waiting for the new part, 2 days, I cleaned the oven. Works like new.

Make sure the oven is turned off. Simply remove the metal cover over the convection fan. Remove the two (2) oven element screws holding it to the oven wall. Disconnect the two wire leads. Connect the new element to the leads and reverse process to attach the new element to oven back wall and install the convection fan cover.

First, the order was shipped and delivered immediately. The model number had a wider range to select from and I had to guess which was the better fit. Other then that the new handle installation was a snap. Thank you and we would surely order from your company again.

ordered part came in noticed i had to make ajustments to new heating element took socket set and unscrewed four screws put a retainer on the wires that came out of the wall to make sure they didn't go back into the wall and would be unretrieveable. installed new screws and cover plate and turned on the oven all done works perfectly.

Using a torx screwdriver, I removed the old handle bracket. I had to be careful not to lose a metal spacer that went between the back of the door front panel and the back of the inside door panel. With the door in full open position, I was able to hold this spacer in my thumb and fore finger while I removed the screw. The broken portion of the handle bracket fell to the floor. With the old handle removed, I placed the screw through a hole in the inside panel, through the spacer and through a hole in the front panel. While holding the front pull bar in the right handle bracket, I placed the new bracket on the bar holding it in position on the door and attaching the screw. Easy peasy!

Used nut driver, removed 2 screws and removed old element. Reversed procedure for installion of new part. Can't believe ordered part one day & recieved it next day. Fantastic service. Will definitely call company again.

Installation was really easy. Remove the old bake element, plug the new one in, took at most 10 minutes.
