The wall-oven door would not close tightly.
First I opened the oven door fully and secured the hinge in an open position by putting a pin in a hole in the hinge to keep it from closing. I used a drill bit as a pin. I removed the one screw from the door side of the hinge on both sides and removed the door. I them removed two screws from the hinge on the oven side. I replaced both hinges at the same time. The part I order was an exact match and now my oven door closes completely and very quietly. This is a very simple job that even a beginner can do.

Replaced the heating element
It would have been a very easy job if the one wire had not fallen inot the back. I could not reach it and fried to figure out how to get in the back to no avail. Finally I took a piece of wire coat hangerm and bent it and then fished it out. The packing around the hole compressed while I was trying to get the wire and I thought I wpuld have to replace it, but overnight it resumed its original size. It should have probably taken less than thirty minutes.

I snapped a bolt on the main power terminal block when connecting the pigtail.
Removed the small metal panel covering the main power terminal in back of the electric range. Removed the nuts holding the red, white and black electrical wires from the range using the appropriate socket (there will be two nuts on each bolt end). Removed the two screws holding the main power terminal block with appropriate screw driver. Connect the new main power terminal block to the range using the two screws. Reconnect the red, black and white electrical wires coming from the range using one nut for each wire. IMPORTANT: do no over tighten the nuts because the bolts could snap. Reconnect the pigtail and secure the small metal panel covering the main power panel.

Oven failed to heat
First, I tripped the oven circuit breaker. Then I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. Then I pulled the element out about 5 inches and disconnected the two wires. At first, I had to figure out how the wires would disconnect. Once I removed the heating element, I reversed the procedure, tightened the screws, reset the circuit breaker, and set the oven to bake. The element began to function, and I knew Imy efforts were successful.

Very Easy Repair
The door came off easily after I removed the two hinge covers that are attached to the oven. Taking the door off can be done with one person but ideally two.
The new parts fit in perfectly and the hinge pin used for shipping comes out easiest with a pair or wire cutters (you do not cut it just grab it and pull).
After that, re-assemble the door and drop in place. It was a snap.
FYI...the shipping was ultra fast and the price was great.
No issues whatsover with the entire process.

burned oven bulb
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.

range handle fell off and screw got lost
It was worth the money for that little screw, since I didn't have to run all over trying to find the right one.

would not heat up
my wife removed two screws and removed clips with pliers. We ordered part (2 days) it was fast. Installed in less than 5 min. and I only have one arm. We tried to find part locally but with no model # the parts houses could not find it. We found it on your site in less than 10 min. Your graphs and photos made it super easy. Will pass along your site to others. Thanks for being so helpful.
