GEF400WAW1 Gibson Range - Instructions

Pulled out the old light on the front of the door house where the door closes and replaced the door light switch

installed terminal block kits and burners worked great

Removed heating elements and replaced drip pans. And by the way, this is the only 'pans' I could find to fit. Thanks.

Pulled out the range, unplugged it and removed the upper back panel. The switches were held in place with two screws. Removed the old switches, detached the wires and plugged them into the new switches. Mounted the new switches, replaced the back panel, plugged the range back in and pushed it back into position. Appliance repair company wanted $370. I did it in 45 min. for less than $100.

simple ratchet extension and socket to remove screws and replace. be sure to crimp the connectors with pliers before ataching the element.

The replacement racks were spot on and the service was outstanding. had the racks in 2 days. Happy Happy Joy Joy! :)

It was a replace racks not repair. No problem

I replaced the bulb using my hands to twist the bulb in the socket located at the top of the refrigerator.

Removed back access panel of oven (several screws). Unplugged element wires (two slip connectors). Removed two element mounting screws from the inside of oven, and removed old element. Reversed proceedure to install new part.

Unplug range, remove top back panel. Remove knob. Replacement part is different, but if you look closely, each metal tab has a number stamped on the plastic housing directly beneth it. Remove old switch (2 screws)and remove and replace wires one at a time. You will need to cut the "one size fits all" metal shaft that the knob attaches to. We had to remove most of it, leaving only 2 "segments". File rough edges and apply vaseline so that the plastic sleeve will slip right on. We used the shorter sleeve (only 2 that are supplied will fit the knob). Replace unit and screw in. Replace knob.

Probably a good idea to either unplug unit or make sure oven is in off position first, then remove screw on either side of old bake element, then gently pull out about 3 inches to expose wire connections and carefully disconnect each slide-on connector. Dispose old element in trash and replace with new one from partselect.com in reverse order. Very simple and much less expensive than either buying a new appliance(if you've been satisfied with what you have), paying a repairperson to come in and/or trying to hunt down the right part from a "local" appliance store/warehouse. The part was easily identifiable via the graphic depiction on the partselect.com website, arrived in excellent condition and in record time for normal ground shipping(less than 2 days from order date!), and I experienced kind and competent customer service from the get-go. A do-it-yourselfer like me really can't ask much more than that when it comes to appliance repair!

I pulled the range out of its space, disconnected the power cord, disconnected the two electic power wire on the heating element. Then I disconnected the two retaining nuts on the inside of the oven and pulled the heating element out. Then reversed the order and wala, hot oven and now my corn bread does not burn.

took out the two screws pulled the element out unplugged the wires, plugged in the new element, stuck the element back in the holes and put the screws back in

Very easy just had to pull the wire up that holds it secure.

It was really easy just unplugged it took off the back cover changed the part out put back cover on plugged it in and the elements were working great!
