I transferred the electrical ... Read more connections from the old to the new. Reinstalled the burner and cooktop. Turned the breaker on, tested the new burner and I was fone

First, I shut off power to cooktop at breaker and double checked to make sure. Then I disconnected wiring and exhaust duct since the cooktop is a downdraft. After that was completed, I had to remove control knobs simply by pulling straight up. A neighbor helped me to lift the cooktop from the cabinet. After stabilizing the cooktop, I remo ...

I took pictures of the wiring before disconnecting the wires and installed the new element.

Your technician suggested that the control knob unit was defective. I ordered the part and after watching your video, I was able to make the repair

I located the model number. Then searched the problem on YouTube. I saw that it was most likely the infinite switch and was an easy fix, so I ordered the part from this site and replaced it following the directions on the video. It's now as good as new!

Replaced the oven light with a new one but it burnt out as soon as I turned it on. Therefore I decided a new socket may help.

I used screw drivers to bend the two metal arms away to release the socket. Then I had to use allen wrenches to bend the reflector's retention tabs away.

Once I had the old socket, reflector, and lens replaced I just followed the video on partselect for part #PS12584564

There is a good video on YouTube that shows exactly how to replace the bake element. Had mine fixed in 15 to 20 minutes. Saved me about $150 by not having to call repairman.
