22308 (1988) Kenmore Range - Instructions

It is so easy. Once I found the right size of filter from the website, I ordered it right away. It came in 3 days and I just need to take out the old one and insert the new one. No instruction is necessary. By the way, the price of the filter is one third of that from Jenn-air.

I took out the old heating element and pluged in the new one. Very simple. Just like putting a plug into an electrical outlet

We ordered the part for replacement. You sent it and we just put in on the stove. It was exactly what we wanted.

Pulled out the old one, pluged in the new one. It took me longer to open the box! PartSelect made it so easy to order and the shipping was super fast and at low cost. I looked on ebay and saw people paying more (with shipping and handling) for used parts. Thank you PartSelect!

just plugged it into the unit

Took out of box and plugged into slot.....even I was capable of doing this....easy

My old burners pluged in. I pulled out the old burners unpacked the the new burners pluged them in. I turned on the new burners and tested themand they worked!!

Simple replace-new for old

Remarkably easy. We had purchased a Jenn-Air with 2 burners and a grill. We found we rarely used the grill feature. We needed more burners. We looked several years ago but it was quite expensive to replace so we suffered through it. I decided I had to find the replacement part or purchase a new stove. I found your website and was shocked to see you carried what I needed. The new part was half as much as we previously priced it for. So, we ordered it and it worked immediately. Thank you so much. Saved me from buying a new stove. Linda

I think Part Select is great, but my story? I just plugged in a module.

It was so easy...well...a technical writer--one of those people who writes operation manuals--could have done it. But afterward, they wouldn't have been able to explain to anyone other than another tech writer how it was done.

You probably want to look inside as you read this. Most of it is straightforward, except the retaining clips.

First, I turned off the breaker switch. Opening the control housing, I disconnected the two leads and wrote down their orientation (one is silver, the other copper). In my JennAir model, an orange burner light is on either side of the fan switch. The white plastic on the rear is held on by their keyhole shape - just slide them the only way they can. This gives extra working room.

Since the switch plastic was already decayed, I snapped off the whole central square unit leaving the 2 portions held onto the posts by the metal retaining clips. Using a small flathead screwdriver, I pried up the plastic remnants, working around it until the retaining clips came loose/ broke.

The new unit fit perfectly and easily. The new retaining clips needed to be worked down a small circular file to spread the centers out enough for me to work onto the retaining posts. The file was just barely bigger than the existing hole. The clips can be broken if you are too rough or work them too much. After that, I used a pair of snub nosed pliers to push the clips down the posts. They required a considerable amount of force, but they aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

Reconnect the lights, reconnect the 2 leads, and check for any loose wires from other controls and loose parts. Reseat the control housing, turn on the breaker and test.

I feel that the design of the indicator light, with the base attached to the bottom of the lens, is ingenious in that it eliminates the need for fasteners in that confined space, However, the plastic used for the base needs to be more flexible. Part of the base broke off in trying to force the base over the bottom of the lens. Fortunately, there was enough left on the base that I could slip it over the bottom of the lens and complete the installation.

Installation was straight forward as the new vent cap was sized correctly for exhaust pipe (5 inch). Placed the mounting plate into the exhaust pipe and used 4 SS screws to anchor to house sheathing. The vent flapper was not flat, requiring that I carefully stress relieve it at 250 degrees and hold it flat while cooling to take warp out. Snapped it in place afterwards and then bolted on cover.

Followed other's instructions from the web site: First - turned off the power at circuit breaker; removed two screws from downdraft vent area; pushed the switch housing back towards vent and lifted; held replacement switch next to defective switch and removed and replaced one wire at a time; loosed switch collar-nut and swapped defective switch for new one. Only issue was the "rat's nest" of wires gave very little room to work, especially if you have average sized hands.

Just unplugged the old cartridge and plugged in the new one. It took 2 seconds.
