drip pans old and rusted
unplugged the elements, removed drip pans, replaced with new drip pans. plugged back in elements. took no skills or effort. the parts were ordered on-line one afternoon and were on my doorstep the next morning. I had been unable to find drip pans that fit my stove and was thrilled that they fit and came so quickly and were reasonably priced.

Two switched were shorted and blowing fuses, not to mention making sparks
The unit is 29 years old. With the 250V breaker off, I removed knobs burners, pans. Removed 4 short and 4 very short screws under knobs. Remove the four tiny pointed screws under the burners to free the top. Propped the top up at an angle with lighting underneath. All 4 switches are now free from control panel. Replaced defective switches while keeping detailed labels on all wires while they are free. Replacement switches had same labels on them as the old ones (H1 H2 L1 L2 P) so wiring was easy. Some connectors needed to be crimped a little tighter. The old switches had low and high amp ranges depending on whether they were for small or large burners while the replacements handled either. Cleaned whole unit. The trickiest part was getting the height of the replacement dial posts right. For one dial the right plastic adapter sleeve went shallowly into the dial while for another the same style adapter penetrated more deeply. Note the adapters have a slot along their shaft that allows them to close slightly in circumference. It is easily possible to crimp down the metal dial posts too far. This did not happen but for one dial I had to hack saw the adapter shorter. Reassembling the control panel is two steps where the short screw attaches the switch to the stovetop and the longer screw attached the switch to the control panel and stovetop. I used the awl for aligning the screw holes. Note, angling the stovetop too far (like the hood of a car) can pull wires off the switches. I think the lens acts to hold the lamp in place but since the lens arrived later, I taped the lamp in place and popped the lens into the assembled unit later. The repair worked well. Two switches cost about 75$
