KFGD500ESS03 KitchenAid Range - Instructions

My used stove had been dropped by the previous owner. While I could live with the minor scratches on one side the wooden shims holding up one corner were annoying. A new leveling leg was less than $2. I used a pair of needle nose pliers to straighten the mounting hole and screwed the new leg in. This used stove was originally $2000 but I bought it for $999. the new leg plus shipping was about $10. What a deal.

Removed two screws on sensor in the oven. Pulled out stove and after unplugging same removed the back panel. Sensor has an electric connection on the rear of the oven with a connection that is easily separated. Threaded new sensor electrical connection through inside of oven and connected on the back of stove. Pushed insulation back around the wire were in goes through to the oven. Replaced back on stove and screwed in two screws which hold sensor inside the oven. Replaced back cover on stove, plugged it in and pushed it back in place. Did the trick for me..

Received the part the day after ordering. Appreciated the quick service and repair took less than a minute.

A fairly simple fix that this website did a nice job helping me diagnose and select the part. Only tricky part was the electrical connector on the range side had been cut so I had to splice the wires which wasn't a big problem. Just take your time to find the nuts and replace one part with another.

removed oven door, unscrewed 2 screws on front of plate covering burner at bottom of oven. Undid wing nuts on tent-like cover, unscrewed 2 screws at back of burner (igniter "hiding" under left back side). Pulled oven away from wall (yuch, where did that stuff come from?), unscrewed 2 screws of bottom plate, undid connector to old igniter, fished wires with connector from new igniter, plugged them in. Attached new igniter to bottom of burner, rescrewed. Put all screws and parts back in correct places. Cleaned oven door before putting it back on. Turned oven on........baked bread!! Hooray! Repair was easy-peasy!

This is a built-in oven, so the biggest problem was figuring out how to remove it from the cabinet. The solution turned out to be removing the cooktop above it and unscrewing two screws that connected the oven to the inside of the cabinet. The other problem was removing BOTH metal backs from the oven. The first one was easy. The second one wasn't. The old socket was recessed behind the second back, making it virtually impossible to access the metal "wings" that hold it in place, so I ended up pulling out the socket assembly from inside the oven with pliers.
