88170 Jenn-Air Range - Instructions

placed knob on clock shaft with my fingers

Ordered the part. It arrived in about 4 days. Took a screw driver and in just a few minutes, it was working again. BINGO

First I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. Then I pulled the element out about 2 inches & disconnected the two wires, Then I removed the ground wire. I then wired in the new element ( this was the only tough part of the process, because I had a very tight space to work in- less than 2 inches.

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.

Turn off elec. power at breaker box. Check twice. Removed burner switch cover. caarefull remove wires from switch, note with color to which terminal remove nut on switch replace new switch replace wires to switch, replace cover turn on power. ready.

I turned off the power first. Then I removed the element by taking out the three screws. The oven was quite old so getting the screws out took a little extra effort. Installation of the new element went easier. I was pleased with how soon the part arrived after I ordered it.

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

Removed 2 screws and i nut. Unplug the old switch and plug in the new switch and presto, back in business. Extremely easy. Part was exactly as pictured. Part arrived within 2 days. Great Co. to buy parts from. Highly recommend Partsselect.

Removed old grease filter,replaced with new grease filter. No tools needed.
I ordered the grease filter on Tuesday and it arrived at my door on Wed.
Best experience ever ordering a part, I will definitely use Part Select again and have already recommended it to friends.

I first replaced the element and the receiver. This required splicing lines which was very easy. It still did not heat (even though my element indicator light was on) so I replaced the switch regulator. This took a little time because of the small space on my model. In fact, I had to replace a wire that had shorted by splicing a 3 inch section into it. When that was done, I simply re-connected the 5 wires in the original positions and reattached the cover. It works like a charm and my wife is delighted because we are hosting a family reunion/baby shower tomorrow!

Turn off the power. Remove 2 screws (in the blower compartment) and lift up the control panel. Release the switch by removing the fastnut. Unplug each wire from the old switch and place it in the cooresponding lug on the new switch. Screw everything back together and cook.

Kill power to range unit at the breaker. Remove 2 screws on back of center control panel. Lift control panel up and toward rear of unit. Unscrew retainer nut which holds switch in the control panel. Carefully note wiring connections, and unplug all 5 wires from switch with pliers. Remove old switch. Reconnect all wires to new switch. Reattach switch to panel with retainer nut. Replace control panel in range with screws. Turn on power.

My husband took the plastic cover off and took out old bulb and screwed in the new one. Then put the cover back on.

Remove cover and install

It was hard. I simply replaced the old one!! fIT PERFECTLY.
