S100 Hoover Range - Instructions

placed knob on clock shaft with my fingers

takes two people to put the oven door back in place but otherwise very simple as long as you keep all your screws and pads in place

The hardest part was taking out original light bulb because screws on shield where hard to unscrew after all this years . The old bulb vent out leaving neck in socket. It took narrow electrical pliers to get neck out .The generic appliance bulb did not fit and had aluminum neck ,not recommended for brass sockets in ovens.Putting new light bulb in was not the problem.

removed the old by pulling it out of track and replaced it with the new filter

1. Flipped breaker and confirmed no power at cooktop.
2. Removed the Fan grille and removed the two screws holding on the control panel. It tilts up and out to the rear.
3. Unscrewed the 2 screws on top holding old switch to panel.
4. Disconnected the wiring one lead at a time and connected it to the new switch in the same spot. There are 5 wires total and I carefully used needle nose pliers to remove reluctant wires and to adjust connectors if they were loose on new switch
5. Screwed the new switch onto the panel and screwed the panel back onto the cooktop.
6. Tested new switch...worked great.

1. Turn off power at breaker. Take no chances. Turn on each working burner, fan, oven light to be sure there is no power to the appliance. Then, turn them off.
2. Pull knob on switch straight out to remove.
3. Remove 4 Phillips head screws under control panel. Pull panel gently down, then out toward you slightly to release top edge. Rest control panel on self-clean lock knob.
4. Confirm terminals on new switch match up with old switch.
5. Use needle-nose pliers to gently remove wires from old switch one at a time and place them on the
corresponding terminal on new the switch.
6. Reverse steps 3, 2 and 1. Test switch and burner.

1. Diagnosed problem = switch at fault not element
Made a diagram of wire positions on faulty switch
2. Ordered part = remarkable service! Switch arrived in less than 24 hours
3.Installed new switch
4. Tested appliance = success!
5. Saved $150 and a lot of aggravation
Terrific site. Excellent help in figuring out and solving the problem. Two thumbs up!

Very simple---shut off the power, removed six screws, detached five wires, replaced control switch, put everything back together, turned on power and made husband happy!!!

AFTER turning off the power supply to the range/cooktop, remove 2 screws holding element in place then remove two slip electrical connectors, and remove element. Reverse procedure for installation of replacement.

The element is held in by two screws located at the rear of the oven. After killing the power, I unscrewed the two screws (one was stripped so I used a pliers to remove it) and replaced them with 2 new screws. Total time was about 20 minutes. Easy fix!

Removed the element and did a continuity check, the element was bad. The stove is over 25 yrs. old. Went to a local shop who usually are very good in situations like this. They could not find the part. Went on line to Part Select, found the part and verified with a phone call. Ordered and received the part the next morning and fixed the stove.

It was worth the money for that little screw, since I didn't have to run all over trying to find the right one.

Remove cover plate, install new switch, replace cover place. Replace one wire at a time, a pair of needle nose pliers may be helpful. Surprise of this job was that I had a torque screw driver (I think that's what it's called) to remove the switch from the cover plate. These are the screws you'll see after removing the knob. Find that driver before you begin, mine was in the garage and for the life of me, I can't remember why I ever had one in the first place.
Thanks for a great web site!

my wife did the chaging as i am unable to work on anything

Remove cover and install
