WFG525S0JS1 Whirlpool Range - Instructions

Took out old one but electric hook up fell in the hole had to fish it out also dropped a screw in the hole could’ve find it used a different one

Removed the oven door listened to a video/You tube and the rest was easy.When you remove the door panels make sure all the parts are assembled correctly.

took out old oven bottom by removing 2 screws, placed the new oven bottom in place put the screws back in and was done.

The old part, including lightbulb and socket, had corroded into place, and the glass light cover was stuck to the socket. I used a dead blow hammer and a dowel just under the diameter of the hole to tap on the back side of the socket to loosen it and get it out. The metal tabs on the old socket were folded back to make it fit better (?), which made it harder to remove. Lots of muscling of the part to get it out. Easy to install new part once old one was out of the way. An experienced person would have removed the old part and installed the new in no time.

I trouble shot and traced out to electrical short in face panel and found burnt wires. I've been a licensed electrician for years and it takes alot of comon sense to trouble shoot and find problem. I found schetch-matic of appliance and searched computor and found partselect.com and tried it. It wasnt no time and the part was at my door. Thank you partselect and i would use them again in the future. billy

Removed trays to expose the ignitor, replaced ignitor and re-assembled.
Would be much faster the second time.

very expensive to buy the part but just tighten the screw intot eh predefined place.

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.

My whirlpool apparently has the old style socket which is pictured in partselect part #PS12584564. The old style socket has to two metal arms that retain it against the metal reflector.

The part that will come (#PS12584564) however is the new style that whirlpool has changed to, apparently. It is not as pictured. The socket and the reflector have different retention devices.

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

It was alittle difficult at 1st to remove the clips that held in the socket. But once out everything went smoothly.

Look up Whirlpool parts and was able to order parts thru PartSelect.
Item were deliver with in three day. I was able to watch the video provided my PartSelect on how to replace the spring loaded latch. The job was easy and I was able to install the range door. Thank you PartSelect.

I would recommend Whirlpool PartSelect for parts and service.
