This is a multi-use and multi-appliance screw. It can be used on a microwave, refrigerator, range/oven, air conditioner, dehumidifier, washer, or dryer. The measurements of this screw are 8 x 1/2 inch...
This is a replacement screw and washer for your oven/range. It is a Phillips-head screw approximately half an inch long, and the washer is approximately 1 inch in diameter. The screw attaches the oven...
Removed the oven door by opening slightly, then pic door up to remove. Remove 2 screws holding oven sensor in place, gently pull on sensor to remove, had to remove about 8 inches to get at plastic connector. Unplug connector, had to use an adapter cable supplied with the PartSelect kit to install new sensor, push cable back into opening, reinstall 2 screws. The oven works fine! Note that due to thermal lag the temperature overshoots to 370 degrees and undershoots to 340 degrees, this appears to be normal oven operation. Putting door back in place was easy.
First I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the sensor out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires. Next, I connected new sensor and screwed the new sensor back in place. One area for caution. Make sure that the electrical connection is pushed in past the insulation on the back side of the oven. Failure to do so will cause the plastic plug connector to melt from oven heat.
The truth....This procedure will take 40 minutes total for the average "mechanic".
You will need a #2 phillips screwdriver and two open end wrenches, 1/2" and 5/8"
AFTER unplugging the power cord AND turning OFF the gas feed:
1-Remove seven phillips head screws from largest rear panel, and remove panel.
2-Disconnect the gas feedline from the manifold with 5/8" open end wrench.
3-Unplug switch "set" ( 2 connectors, one inline and one spade)
4-Open top oven door and remove two hexhead/phillips screws from underside of stovetop, located on far right and far left forward corners.
5-Pull stovetop forward to unlatch from rear holddown clips on frame.
6-Lift stovetop up enough to disconnect five gas burner supply lines from control valves with 1/2" open end wrench.
7-Remove two phillips head manifold attaching screws from topside of control valves (visible after pulling off control valve knobs)...manifold is now free, remove from stove.
8-"Pop off" switches from control valves, and snap new set into place.
9-Install drip shield disks on control valve shafts.
10-Reverse procedure to reassemble stove.
NOTES: 1-Remember to install drip shield disks on control valve shafts before reattaching manifold to stovetop.
2-Check all visible screws for tightness now that the covers are removed, ....you WILL find loose screws...Avoid overtightening/stripping screw holes.
