Replace damaged oven door handle

Required removing the door, by sliding it off the hinges (open 1/4 then lift up), removing the outer frame which releases the inner glass door section exposing the door end screws. Removed the phillips head screw on each door end releasing the old handle. Inserted the new handle in the ends, screws replaced, reversing the above. Thanks for the correct part. Byron C.

Rusted oven door trim

Removed old part by removing the screws at the boottom of the oven door. I wasn't sure if the glass oven door cover would remain in place once the trim piece was removed, fortunately I was ready when it came down. The glass cover is large and heavy so you need to be ready to handle the bulk of this piece once the last screw is removed. Cleaned everything and with the help of my wife, who secured the oven door cover in place, secured the new trim piece by replacing the screws. What a difference, looks like new! PartSelect provided great service in terms of speed and part acciracy.

Oven Door Handle End Caps.

I purchased my stove second hand. It was a mess but I saw a gem under all that dirt and grime. It took me a week and it looked brand new. The end caps on the oven door handle were discolored and cracked. They made the stove look old. It was an easy repair and my stove looks brand new. I will order an extra set just in case as these parts are getting harder and harder to find. I am so pleased with the original parts. They were here with in days and well before promised delivery date.
