79046583501 Kenmore Range - Instructions

Turned of breaker to stove. Removed knobs. Removed four plastic nuts under knobs. Removed five screws that hold swith plate in place. Removed two screws that held actual switch in place. Swaped one wire at a time to new switches. (Switch was a newer model so seeing switch markings was critical to correct wire replacement!) Installed in reverse order. All in all. The job was easy and the new swith looks to be of a higher quality. This ia a gee-wiz--when the old switch failed it failed to the full on position. I had a pot of chicken slowly simering on Lo went to the garage to work a project came back in to a house filled w smoke/alarms going off and the burner on full high-glowing! The old switch was dangerous!

I followed directions for replacement of the glass from the web. Replacement was simple and easy.

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.

Removed outer glass first ,then worked my way thru to inner glass..

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.

I actually watched Youtube while I was changing it. This video was not actually the same make up of my oven, even though the I typed in the model number. I manage to figure it any with the steps anyway. It was harder then I expected but not horrible. I think I did pretty well for a women. Patti

Turned off electrical breaker (double). Removed the switch handle, removed the plastic rings (special wrench) under the handles. Removed three screws up under the front of control panel. Removed six screws holding the infinite switches. Removed defective switch. Different from the new switch. Wiring locations were different on the old sw. The reason for the vom use. All is well.

watched a U-Tube video on this subject.....worked like aa charm!!

Very simply following the online video instructions.
