The switch would not turn off the range. The switch just kept turning but nothing happened.
I removed two screws that held the switch plate together. Then I removed two screws that held the faulty switch to the swtich plate. I then unpluged one wire at a time from the old switch and pluged it into the new switch. Reattached the switch to the switch plate and then reattached the switch plate to the stovetop. Bingo! Everything worked beautifully. It was so easy and I saved ~ $100.00 by doing it myself, as opposed to a quote that I got from a local repairman.

Rocker Switch For Vent Fan/Oven Light.
Trouble shooting: rocker switch "blew-up", fire flew when wife opened oven door. Assumed rocker switch was burned due to melted plastic and a terminal blew off. Down draft fan would not run. Put stove breaker in off position. Search on internet located "part select". Entered model number and discription. Picture of switch and simple diagram appeared on screen with part #. I ordered part, it was here 2 days later. Eating home cooked meals now. Bragging about repairing my stove, repair savings of about $150. 00.

The oven door seal was frayed, due to using oven cleaner.
First I removed 7 screws, using a Philips head screwdriver, to allow access to the inside of the oven door. I then removed several more screws to separate the panel holding the seal so that I could remove it and replace it with the new seal. Once the seal was in place I re-inserted all the screws to the panel and door to complete the repair. The knobs just slipped on to replace the ones that broke and fell off.

Infinite Rotary Control Failed
Replaced one of the four burner control switches on my Jennair cooktop. One of the tricks I use to prevent mistakes is putting the new switch along side the existing one and swap one connector at a time over to the new switch preventing any confusion and negating any need to mark the wires. This differs from your video assistant who disconnected all the wires at once.

Sparks shot out from under knob, then, no surprise, the burner didn't work
I've ordered parts from you twice now, and both times the service has been absolutely amazing!!!!!

Now, on to how I did this without fire or electrocution:

Turned off breakers.
Grabbed a beer.
Removed two screws holding in plate.
Removed electrical connectors.
Removed two screws holding switch.
Put new switch in place with screws.
Reattached connectors.
Reseated plate & screws.
Turned on power & tested.
Finished beer and felt very manly.

The hardest part was getting the plate to re-seat.
