2784038814 Kenmore Wall Oven - Instructions

replaced lights in refrigirator and freezer

The plastic holes on the clock control panel had broken off so the panel would not hold firmly in place - the new clock control buttons plastic panel that I ordered was easy to replace since I had the four screws that held it in place to the front panel of the oven - only surprise was the new panel had black buttons instead of silver ones, but they look great on the oven front. Thanks for having the part and fast delivery.

With multimeter checked resistance of oven sensor. Specs called for 1100 ohms. It was off by 27 ohms. The sensor from Part Select had exact wire connection as original. Then just matter of undoing old and reconnecting with new one.

One unsatisfactory event. I asked Part Select why my clock did not work or light up(timer works ok) . Answer was: sorry we have no time to help you. That soured the otherwise happy experience.

I just took the old oven racks out and put new oven racks in.

It was fairly difficult. I pulled out the old racks and put in the new.

Followed instructions on Kenmore site. One point of note. Hold onto the element wires firmly. They will retract behind the oven!!! After contacting an electrician friend who removed unit from the wall and rethreaded the wires, it went just fine.

We had to take the back off the stove and disconnect the old element. One side had bad wiring. we had to repair the wires and inserted the new element. The job would not have taken so long if there were any kind of instructions.

By myself

Easy

Followed the instructions

At first I tried to remove the element from the top of the oven. I took out the screws with a nut-driver (1/4"). Them I tried to pull the element out slowly so I could unplug it from the power wires. One of the wires pulled off bfore I could get it out. I then pulled the range out from the wall and removed the back from it. THEN I noticed that if you pull the stove away from the wall first and take off the back the wires are right there and easy to take on and off. Then replace the the back panel, plug in the stove and test the element. It will give off a slight odor as the manufacturing coating is burned off.

I did not do it, I instead had my neighbor put the gasket around the light lens cover and replace it. He considers himself a handy man, so it was easy for him.

1)Undid two hex nuts holding broiler element in place. 2)Slipped fasteners off pegs connecting element to oven. 3)Simply reversed the process, when installing new element.

turn off power, remove 2 screws, lift off of hanger , slide out far enough to unplug wires. remove brackets from old element, I did have to use a screw driver to open up bracket to slide over new element(new element a little larger diameter coil) reverse removal. DONE !! Thank You Part Select !

Turned off the power. Removed two screws; removed element and unplugged two leads. Replaced elements and put element back in place. Simple as that. Oven now works great. I wish they were all that simple. But...the availability of parts for my 20+ YO oven made it all possible. The alternative was a new oven at more than $1000. Thank you PartSelect.
