79091043400 Kenmore Range - Instructions

The gasket just snapped in place. The first one I ordered was, my fault, the wrong one and I returned it and got the correct one two days later.

This was the easiest do it yourself repair job to be had so simple just push the new clip in the hole and you are done so easy. Audrey

The drawer dropped down and would not easily open or shut or fit up good when closed. A quick inspection showed that one of the rear drawer guides was broken. The parts were ordered on a weekend and they showed up on Tuesday. We already had the pots and pans out of the drawer. It took about 10 minutes to put in the new guides (I replaced the one not broken also), clean and lubricate the drawer slides. Good as new. The repair video, although not necessary for this repair, was excellent. Thanks a bunch!

simply unplug the old burner and plug the new one it. not many repairs this easy. the best part of the whole thing is that the part arrived the next day.

Very easy. Dont know why I didn't do this earlier.

I searched the internet for help, that lead me to your site. I typed in the make and model. Within seconds some drawings appeared, showing the part I needed. I watched your video on making the repair. You make it so easy. I ordered the parts you recommended. They arrived in just a couple of days. I went back to your site to take another look at your video and I was ready. In just minutes, I had the drawer out, installed the new guides. The one side, the guide was completely gone, so I could snap in the new2 guide as you recommended. The other side, the guide was broken off and I had to use a needle nose pliers to get it out. Then snaped in the new guide. Re-installed the drawer with all the goodies, wax paper, tin-foil, baggies etc. Closaed t6he drawer and everything lined up perfectly. Thanks to you I've got a drawer that works again aqnd I got it done before my husband got home from work. Funny thing, he hasn't complained or asked me about the drawer. I guess that will be our little secret....Thanks Julie

Removed the drawer, simply snapped the rear drawer glide in the punch-out by hand, replaced the drawer. Works well

Lift stove top cover up and support cover so it will not fall down unplug element put new one in close cover and turn burning on and watch the burner get red hot. simple job why call a repair man in. Vicki

My brother is a licensed electrician, so the job was relatively easy for him. The pieces of insulation were pre-cut to fit, so there was no trimming involved. He tilted the oven over on its back to replace the piece of insulation under the oven. Removed the metal panel between the storage drawer and oven bottom, removed the soiled insulation and wiped everything down with vinegar. Placed the new insulation and reinstalled the metal panel and drawer. Removed the oven/range top and again removed the soiled insulation, wiped everything down and installed the new insulation (this piece of insulation was the wrap around one that goes under the range top - across the top of the oven and down both sides). Replaced the oven top, then did the back panel - this one was the most time consuming, due to the need to disconnect some of the wiring and sensors, as well as having to loosen the panel where the control knobs are located in order to remove the inner panel to get to the insulation. The insulation was precut to fit around the oven light bulb, so just had to make sure we installed it right side up :). Have used the oven several times since and no more smell!!

Reviewed the online repair video a few times then got started. Although only two were bad, I replaced all four terminal blocks. I removed the range top instead of using the built in kick stands. this left me much more room to work and I was able to clean the top of the range really well before getting started. Wires for the back terminals where short and a little difficult to use after cutting off the old terminal blocks. The terminal block mounting option for my style range included with the repair kit would not allow me to utilize the screw for the third wire on the left rear burner. I used a drill to carefully widen the hole in the mount to make the original screw fit as there are no screws included with the kit. This added the extra time to complete the repair. Over all the repair was simple to complete but having to modify the terminal block mount was dissapointing considering the web site selected parts for my specific model number. Still a bargain compared to what a service call or new purchase costs. I will be reparing my ranges from now on.

Timer was bad. Removed the four screws on the rear panel, and then the four screws holding the timer in place. I let the old one dangle by the wires until the new one was in place, then just switched the wires one at a time. There is one set that has a plastic connector, and you need a small flat screwdriver to depress the locking tab on the top of the connector to release it. Be sure and order a new face plate as the old one will not come off without tearing. Re-install rear cover and your done.

Pulled stove away from the wall and unplugged it. Removed probe and cut the wires because the connection clip on the new probe was different from the original. Leave the wires as long as possible because you will need the extra length to splice the clip from the old probe to the wires on the new one. Replaced probe and plugged the oven back in. Done.

replaced temp probe per your suggestion. No improvement! checked both heating elements with ohm meter. OK Next suggestion was replace circuit boards. Bought new range for less than cost of 2 oven/range control boards.

the rear glides were missing on the back of the drawer so the drawer would pull out but when pulled back in, would tip down and not catch on anything. I ordered the parts then found an instructional youtube and watched it. Easy repair, cheap!
