burned out burner
First we removed two screws under the rim of the range top to open the lid. Lifted the lid and removed the screws from the bracket that holds the elements, Be careful with the clips that hold the element in, if you break them or bend them there aren't any more! Also note which holes they were in, they are marked according to the different sizes of elements. Disconnected the wires, needed needlenose pliers to grip them...connected new element, popped it back in place, replaced bracket, closed top ...Easy peasy!!!

Element would not heat up
Removed 2 screws located underneath the front lip of the range top. Lifted range top and supported. Removed the 2 screws at either end of the support bracket. This bracket holds the elements in position. Be careful not to let the elements fall out when removing. The elements are now free to replace. Swap out the old with the new and be sure to reconnect the wires to the correct terminals on the new element. I did 1 wire at a time so as to not make a mistake at reconnecting the wires. Then replace the support bracket with the 2 screws and lower the range top in place and put back the 2 screws that hold the range top in position. VOILA!! Success. It works. The wife is now happy again:)

Bumped into the switch and it came apart, then arced against the control panel.
Turned off circuit breaker for the range.
Removed the 3-T15 torx head screws from the bottom of the control panel.
Lifted up the front of the control panel and range top approximately 4”, then used some pieces of scrap wood for support on both sides.
Removed the switch control knob and then the 2-T20 torx head screws that secure the switch.
Pull out switch from behind snd the wire terminal connectors.
Reverse process to install new switch.
Note: Since this switch is prone to being bumped into due to the layout of our kitchen, before installing the new switch, I loosened the metal clip that holds the new switch together, then put a small amount of super glue between the two halves before reinstalling the metal clip. This should make it less likely that the switch will come apart again, I hope!

left terminal broke off from the base of the block causing circuit breaker to trip and not able to be re-set
Ensured breaker was off. My range is hot wired. Removed all cables from old terminal block with nutdriver. Used phillips head screw driver to remove old terminal block from back of range. replaced old terminal block with new one. Re-attached accessory cables to small terminals first, then the main cables to the terminal block using where necessary long nose pliers. It is important to make note of which cables are attached to each terminal of the block, so make a sketch PRIOR to removal. Also be careful how the cables are attached to the block. You are using 10 gauge cable with thick insulation. It is important that when pushing the range back into position the cable does not put too much pressure on the block as it will break it. That's exactly what happened to this last one. It probably cracked under the strain of the pressure of the cable and finally current running through it weakened it to the point where it broke off from the block causing it to short and trip the breaker.
