the drip bowls had rusted through
a really simple fix! the parts came really quickly and all i had to do was pull the heating elements out along with the old drip pans and line up the new pans and push back in. the drip pans weren't 100% perfect as they were a universal fit, and were missing the clips that help the heating elements i nplace, but they look fine and do the job all the same.

Ugly looking drip bowl.
Repair? What repair? I just removed the old drip bowl and replaced it with the new one. Piece of cake.

Old receptacle was burnt from lots of use.
Just cut the old receptacle wires and splice in new kit. Very simple and worked perfectly.

Electric burner would not heat at all
I tested the element with a digital meter and found it was bad but I also followed your great tip to replace the receptacle which it really needed replaced also. Both parts now work and fit like new. Thanks

Element terminal connection loose caused overheating and carbon buildup.
Sanded element contact, replaced connector block. The easiest part of the task was ordering the part online. You made it unbelievably easy. I was amazed!

Indicator light on whirlpool electrical cook top shorted out
Removed old indicator light, after turning off electricity, installed terminals on new indicator light as I was doing this I noticed that female spade terminals had extended fastening ends on them, making an extremely unsafe condition. I replaced those terminals with insulated female spade terminals thus eliminating the possibility of a short in the future.

Burner "on" indicator light went out
It appears that the indicator light is a "pop-up" replacement but you can't get it to fit through the mounting hole without it breaking up...Here's the easier way: 1st remove the power to the cooktop...2nd remove the 4 burners and the bowls.. 3rd remove the 2 front small sheet metal screws that are on the front flange where you removed the front bowls...4th gently lift the front end of the cooktop whereby you'll have access to the indicator light...5th remove the 2 wires from the light and with your fingers or long-nose pliers squeeze the mounting flanges on the sides of the light and pop it out from the top...Now you can replace the light---it's "keyed" on one side so it'll fit in only one way...Reattach the 2 wires on the bottom of the light....Reverse the disassembly procedure and restore the power....Let there be "light" when you turn on any of the burners !!!

intermittant power to "burner" eye
due to the cooktop age, part was not an exact duplicate. I had to drill new holes in the stainless steel for mounting and ground wire. I used a lot of kitchen matches to heat the shrink tubes over the twist connectors. I should have gotten a heat gun or torch.
