79091412015 Kenmore Range - Instructions

when the bottom element didnot work after replacing it, got a new timer, marked all wires, and then took old timer and overlay out and replace timer and a new overlay, rehook up all wires.

The thin black plastic frame around the old one had become brittle and cracked/disintegrated. So, nothing to hold the functioning unit to the frame.
All I needed was a new frame.
The one that was shipped was the wrong model number, so it is useless to me.
I will be returning it for a refund.
Thank you for trying, so sorry, no cigar.

It went easy, I ordered the part from another vendor, received it in 3 days and it only took about 20 minutes to install.
I do not recommend ordering from PartSelect!

Open the door and slide in the new rack.

replaced it

Pull stove out to get behind it,unplug temperature probe plug. Remove temp probe from oven by removing the screw holding it in place on back of oven. Cut plug off temp probe unit leaving as much lead wire as possible on plug end. Strip wires on new probe and end of plug wires(one quarter inch). Then I used two small butt connectors to join the stripped wires,one for each pair of wires. Two small wire 'nuts' may also be used as the connections are outside the oven and not exposed to the heat of the oven while it is in operation. Hope this helps the inexperienced 'do it yourselfers'--:)

removed back. discovered wrong connector on probe. Cut the connectors off and spliced with small butt connector. Took me longer to find the tools and connector than to do the repair. The wires are very small and require a very small butt connector. Tips by the sales rep and previous customer were helpful. Great service. Will try PartSelect for Cub Cadet and Yamaha OB parts. Thanks. John

I just installed the extra rack and re-arranged the existing ones. Works great!

Disconnect electricity from oven, remove the 3 screws from the rear of stove, and gently pull the front of the stove from the rear. Take a picture of the wires to the timer or mark them good as there isn't a lot of slack in wires and you will need to replace wires exactly. The large white plug has a lock on the front of it to keep stationary, so depress the latch and pull straight up. do the same with all of the wires and removes screws (torque screws ) from stove. Pull the face of the timer gently off of the old timer and install on the new timer. Pull easily and it will re-stick on new timer perfectly. Replace wires on rear of timer and re-install. turn electricity back on and pus front and rear together and reinstall screws on rear of stove.

Ensured breaker was off. My range is hot wired. Removed all cables from old terminal block with nutdriver. Used phillips head screw driver to remove old terminal block from back of range. replaced old terminal block with new one. Re-attached accessory cables to small terminals first, then the main cables to the terminal block using where necessary long nose pliers. It is important to make note of which cables are attached to each terminal of the block, so make a sketch PRIOR to removal. Also be careful how the cables are attached to the block. You are using 10 gauge cable with thick insulation. It is important that when pushing the range back into position the cable does not put too much pressure on the block as it will break it. That's exactly what happened to this last one. It probably cracked under the strain of the pressure of the cable and finally current running through it weakened it to the point where it broke off from the block causing it to short and trip the breaker.

Removed oven door. Removed screws from bottom of door as well as handle screws. Remove inner panel to expose glass. Replaced glass panel and reverse steps. Very easy.

Replaced temp probe and checked OK. This model did not have a full back as the instructional video showed. No cover to remove at all. Only suggestion might be to include two wire nuts of proper size. Average wire nut would be too big. Fortunately, I happened to have a couple.

take back planel off, take wires off old element and intsall new element hookup wires, put back planel ..under one hour job

Moved the stove. Used the template to position the bracket. Put the supplied screws to attach bracket to the floor. Slid stove back into place. 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.
