22305 (1988) Kenmore Miscellaneous - Instructions

I just pulled the electric element out of the slot and dropped the drip pan in place and slipped the electric element back in place and it was ready to go. It looks almost new. We built a new house in 95. It took 17 months to build it. I got the stainless steel cook top that you can have the grill on one side or you can pull the grill off and slip in the burners. It is only 4 burners but it is plenty to work with. It has a down draft.

removed the wooden cutter block rt side top and the air exst.vent guard lf side then with a phileps driver 2 screws holding the control knob assm.in. both control knob assm.rt&lf come off the same way. just scraped out what that was left of the old lens stuck in new one and reatached light bulb holder. this bulb holder presses on and slides side ways to lock in place. then snaped control knob assm. back in and tighten the 2 screws. replaced vent guard & wooden cutter block. all was done.

I removed the burner elements for three burners by lifting the surface top and unplugging them. I snapped out the plug sockets that were burned out and cut the two wires, one element at a time. Using the included wire nuts I stripped the ends of the cut wire and connected each wire to one of the wires on the new socket. Once the wires were connected I snapped the sockets in place and reinstalled the elements, lowered the surface top and the range was ready to use.

Cut broken wire and existed wire off and put splice on both new and old wires to connect them.
It's easy job.

Took everything apart and replace the new parts but what I really want to share is the prompt shipment of my parts, I'm very satisfied and I will recommend the web site (THANK YOU)

After buying a 'universal' part at Lowe's and it not fitting correctly and shorting out the burner, I went online and found this source for an exact replacement part. Beside having to disassemble the drop in stove burner two or three times it went well when I had the correct part. I lost one screw somewhere and that delayed me a short time to find a replacement. Thus the 1 to 2 hours. It would have been about a 30 minute job if I had been smarter.

Removed screws by drilling one and using a pliers to remove 2nd one. At first did not have enough wire to pull recepticles out until I relized wires were clipped to back of range to hold in place. Unclipped wires, pulled recepticles out, cut wires and attached new recepticles by connecting wires with wire nuts (I think wire nuts were to small so I used my own a size larger). Another problem that I found was that the recepticles on my range were held in place only by the screws that attached the recepticles to the drip pan flang. I had to bend an L bracket to prop under each recepticle to hold the back of it up so the burner element would sit level over the drip pan.

pulled he cooktop, replaced the recepticles, reassembled.

Replaced switch.

Very simple for me!!! Open the box, uncover the new grill and lay it in its place.


Thank you so much!

Replaced the switch.

I lifted off the old grill and replaced them with the new ones. My stove top looks great again. If I could find them, I would like to replace the knobs to turn on the gas!

I unplugged the old ones and put in the new ones.

Wife installed them, they just snap into place on the Rock Grate.

Turn off the power!!! Remove two screws from back of switch section and pull toward you. That was the tricky part; it wasn't obvious to me how to remove the section. Then simply revmove the witres from the old switch one by one and put them on the new part. Close it up and you're good to go.
