Your site was easy to navigate, which made determining the problem from other customers easy, and choosing the correct part to replace the malfunctioning burner.

The malfunctioning burner was easy to remove by twisting it a quarter turn counter clockwise, removing the two wires and replacing it with the new burner cap with electrode.

cut off terminals and replaced with the right size one's stove lights every time now wlrowe

The trickiest part was locating the elusive spark module. I am not certain I took the best route, but not considering all the wrong routes in trial and error, it was the most expedient. Certainly there must have been a single something to remove to get to this frequently faulted part..

Anyhow, thanks to the great part, the stove works really well again.

First I turned the burner head counter clockwise, lifted it out and pulled the connectors off. Then I connected the connectors back on the prongs of the new burner head and placed it back on the gas line and turned the burner head clockwise. I then turned the pilot light and and tested the connection. It worked without any problems. I then proceed to replace the second burner head using the same steps as on the first burner head.

Stove was bought at Lowe's. I called Lowe's, who promptly said to call a local appliance repair firm, which they named. I did so & was told initial call for diagnosis was $99. I said go ahead. Tech. showed up, removed burner from stove top, and agreed with me that it did not work. He said he'd order part call me to schedule repair. In 2 days, he called me to report that they would order the [art, and that another caLL and installing the burner would cost an additional $113.95. I then went on-line & located part. I ordered it from Part Select & it arrived in 2 days, with part and shipping costing $44.00 At first it did not seem compatible with my stove but a technician/friend came by & we found it would work. Installing it was very simple;' two wires had to be connected to terminals on the bottom of the burner unit, it easily locked back in place, I turned the burner on & there was flame,

I ordered the two replacement burners. When they arrived I equipped myself with WD-40 spray, rubber mallet and a rubber gripper I used to use to open canning jars. Sprayed the WD-40 around the burner base and let it sit for 20 minutes. Made a mental note of the location of the sparker of the burner, to remember to put the new one in the same way. Gathered my courage and gently wacked the burner with the mallet all around it. Then grabbed the burner with the gripper and gave it a firm ¼ circle twist counter clockwise. It came apart with no problem. Disconnected the two electric wires by slipping them off their sockets. Removed all the loose rust and cleaned around the burner. Reconnected the wires with the new replacement burner and dropped it in its place. Wiggled it a little until it fit back into its original location and twisted it ¼ circle clockwise. Done, just saved myself the price of a new stove! Note: There is no need to shut off the main gas valve.

in and out in 15 min ,is easy when part fit.

First, only replaced the electrodes for lighting the stove burners. Nope, that wasn't the problem. Then replaced the burners -- that was the problem. Easy fix -- to bad I had to buy the electrodes first. Parts came in just a couple of days. Really surprised about how fast the parts shipped.

This isnt about repair, but about partselect.com. Best price on the interenet and very quick shipping. I got my order within two days of placing the order. I will use them again in the future.

As the video said, twist burner to the counterclockwise 1/8 turn. Lift the burner straight up. Disconnect the two wires. Remove the burner and reconnect the wires ( they only go one way so they cannot be connected backwards.) Place the burner over the gas fitting and turn the burner clockwise until snug. I turned the power off at the circuit breaker box. The video was extremely helpful.

pull wire off of spark electrode unscrew old burner. screw on new burner attach wire to new spark electrode.

use the pliers. to get. the remaining half off and the screwdriver to cleen the rest of the rust off

twist old burner and lift out disconnect two wires throw away gasket (if there is one left) connect two wires to new burner set in and twist till tight total time 45 seconds

I ordered the grommet... Didn't match the others ... But it fit on , and will do the job

We received the burners we ordered in timely manner, and it was very easy to install. Just unhook the old burners and drop the new ones in and connect.
