Oven Temp inaccurate
I watched the repair video on this site and another on YouTube before I started. The rear panel has a different shape and two additional screws on the bottom edge. The power clip was easy to manipulate.
This was an easy fix for a seventy year-old like me!

Oven stopped heating, error message stated heating element
Very easy. Pulled the stove away from the wall. Used a screw driver to remove the two nuts to release the heat sensor, disconnected the wire, removed the sensor. Inserted the new sensor, plugged back into the circuit. put the two nuts back.
Beware, if the first time you put the oven on, if the error message comes back up (mine did) push the cancel/off button, wait a few minutes, put oven back on. System probably needed to reset. Mine worked perfectly after.

Oven door was distroyed and dirty from previous owner
I dismounted the oven door following the graphic templates that this site has for that model. Then I replaced the gasquet (seal window), appliying an apoxic glue to hold it on place. Then I started to put it togueter, from the bottom to the top, first the lower trim, I screwed it back to the metal frame, then the left and right trims, it goes tied by pressing it to the sides, after that I installed the top and screwed it to the frame. It holded all toguether cery well. My oven looks like new now.

The switch on the door broke. This prevented my oven from cleaning and the light burned all the time so I had to unscrew it.
First I removed the two screws that hold the glass cook top in place. Then I removed 4 screws that hold a small metal plate that shields the switch. Replacing the switch was very simply just a matter of unplugging four wire connectors from the old switch, sliding the new one in and reconnecting the wires. It was very easy to find the part on the website. I just located the switch on the diagram and ordered the part. I really surprised my husband that I ordered the part and repaired the stove by myself. He was intending on calling a repairman, but I did it myself.
