("Very easy! I'm a 63 yr. old woman!)

I followed the great directions posted by others on the PartSelect website for Part No. PS2078472. This was really easy! Another customer has posted a GREAT suggestion of pulling the top oven shelf out about a foot and using it to lay the control panel faceplate assembl on after its unscrewed and lifted off its support. I used (and suggest others use) a soft cloth to put under the control panel before I laid it on the extended top oven shelf to avoid any scratching. I took great comfort from the prior 9-28-07 posting by customer Cheryl from Mesa, AZ, in which she said that she was a "63 yr. old woman" and that the repair was "very easy" for her -- Let me add that it was also very easy for a slightly younger, but mechanically challenged man! PartSelect got my part right out to me (with a couple of replacement bulbs for the interior oven light, since my oven bulb had also just burned out). Everything was just as represented and I felt I got good value for the money. It's a pleasure to do business with PartSelect! Thanks also for making me a hero with my wife -- now she thinks I can fix things!

First I turned off the power at the breaker. Then I removed the 4 screws holding the panel in. These screws are located under the panel and accessed when the oven door is opened. The only caution is not to take all the screws out. Just the 4 that hold in the front panel.The panel came off by lifting it and pulling it slightly forward. Then I removed the 3 wiring harnesses. I then used a 1/4 inch socket wrench to remove the (4) screws and replaced the clock unit with the new one. I tightened the 4 screws, re-installed the wiring harnesses and swung the panel back in place . I then locked it in place with the 4 screws on the bottom of the panel. When I turned on the power and my wife saw the lit up clock she was so happy! End of story.

Two separate problems. The display gradually dimmed over time and finally went out completely. It was really easy installing the new display module. I analyzed the old one and found an 68uF electrolytic capacitor (<$1) that was bad. Don't know if any other component was bad. In looking at the display module it seems it was way over-priced at over $200. The second problem is that one of the small burners had a open heating wire. The installation of the new burner was OK except the new unit did not have any clips to hold it in place. I couldn't transfer the old clips over. So I just placed it under the holding bracket and hoped that it wouldn't move while I was putting the unit back in place and it didn't. So that is working OK now.

This was soooo easy, yes even you Mr. All thumbs, can do it. First it was nice to receive the exact parts I needed from PartsSelect. I needed to take the 4 screws that held the wall oven in place and pull it out about 1". Then, using a battery powered screw driver I removed 4 screws for under the Clocks panel, (you'll need to open the door, can you handle that?). After you've done that simply lift the Glass up and off by grasping the panel and with thumbs on the bottom tilt bottom toward you as you lift up, comes right off. Now disconnect the wire ribbons (4 of them) to seperate the panel from the oven and set the panel down on a towel on the table. Now using a nut driver take out 4 "nuts" and replace the clock card. Be sure to wipe off the INSIDE of the glass panel while you have the card out, and wipe the cards glass so the digital readout will be crystal clear. Re-assemble in the reverse order and you are done. Should take you less then 15 minutes and your wife will think you are a hero! (or you wives can do it and impress the husband!)

4. Remove the old display unit by taking out the four screws using a 1/4" nut driver.
5. Install the new display unit using the four screws
from step 4.
6. Hold the top panel close to the top of the oven and attach the three wire harnesses.
7. Hang the top panel on the top of the oven and replace the four screws removed in step 2.

First I did it wrong-then I came and read how the 64 yr old lady it and she was spot on. First-turn off power to unit. Take off the 4 screws holding the upper part with the clock in it . (OPen the oven door for access) Then lift up slightly and pull the upper unit out. CLock is right there held on by 4 1/4 inch screws. Remove screws, unplug wiring and reinstall using reverse procedures. Then turn power back on. REady to go

Searching the internet, I found the part I needed for the lowest price at PartSelect.com. I reviewed the exploded parts diagram for my oven at PartSelect.com to get a general overview of how the oven was assembled - then I read the customer stories to get some hints from those who had done this repair before. My oven is a combination wall oven with a microwave on top. First, I shut off the power to the oven at the breaker box and then removed the thin, long rails from each side of the oven using a philips screwdriver to remove the 4 screws. This then allowed me to remove the plastic faceplate from around the microwave. Opening the oven door, I found 4 philips pan head screws underneath the control panel and removed them. The control panel will then easily lift up and then out. There are 3 areas where you must disconnect electrical connections on the control module - pay a bit of attention here, but they are sized differently and are not hard to match back up appropriately when you reconnect them to the new module. These connection plugs pull straight out with no tool needed. The old control module is held in place with 4 hex-head screws I removed with a nutdriver. After you remove the old module, it is a good time to clean the inside of the clear diplay area of the front panel with a paper towel dampened with a bit of window cleaner. Allow this to dry and then install your new control module reversing the procdures you used to remove it and reverse the procedures to reinstall the control panel, the microwave faceplate and the side rails. Cut the power back on and sit back as your wife finally thinks you are the genius that you truly are........

Screws removed from below panel. The most difficult procedure was removing the panel from the oven unit to get to the part. After lifting up and out, the panel back was revealed. Disconnected old part by pulling the three connections and replacing with new part.

Turned off power at beaker box. Opened oven door. Removed four screws from botton of display panel. Lifted display panel up and out to remove. Unplugged three wire bundles from back of circuit board. Removed four screws holding circuit board and replaced circuit board. Reassembled panel. Turned power back on. Presto.....saved $200.00 from repair estimate.
