79091419010 Kenmore Range - Instructions

We have an older .......range that came with our house when we bought it in 2000...the stove works fine (for an electric stove!), but the drawer was always problematic. Sometimes it would sit straight in the appliance cabinet and sometimes it wouldn’t. Sometimes it would flop up and down, sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn’t!

We lived with it for TEN years...then a couple of weeks ago I needed a pizza pan. I opened the drawer and the darned thing wouldn’t go back into the stove properly. I played with it for awhile, trying to figure out why it didn’t work correctly! After some energetic observation (accompanied by some choice words about American engineering!) I realized the front drawer guide was broken off!! It was one of those “Aha!” moments!!

I retrieved the plastic piece and went to a local appliance store to get a replacement. They said they’d order one (for 8.95 and I pay shipping and handling!), and it would take 2 to 3 weeks to get it! I declined their offer. Surely, somwhere on the internet there was a supplier who had this part!!

I sat down with my MacBook Pro and looked up “range parts” and was immediately directed to partselect.com. I looked up the part (which was ONLY $3.38) and ordered two. I had the parts in my hand in four days, and even with shipping paid less than half what the other place wanted locally.

I pulled the drawer out, literally dropped in the new guide, and the drawer has worked flawlessly since!! We are forever grateful for PartSelect and will always keep their address on top of our web vendors list!!

Give them a chance...the least you could do is save some aggravation, and maybe a little bit of money, too!!

snapped new glide in place.

Found correct parts on Partselect.com, watched the instructional video, ordered the parts and installed them when they arrived. Very simple, very easy.

Popped out the old ones with a screw driver. Pushed in the new ones. Whole process took less than three minutes, super easy.

So easy! The drawer glides just popped right in!

Fed ex dropped the part off at 7 one night, had it repaired by 7:05. Popped the broken glide off, popped the new one in. Easier than easy. Took longer to empty the drawer and remove it than to do the repair.

I watched the video before ordering the part. When it arrived, I knew exactly what to do. No tools were needed. It took me 2 tries to get the drawer aligned properly but the whole repair took about a minute. The video was invaluable!

I pul;led out the drawer and inserted the front glide in about 2 seconds and slid the drawer back in! Presto--fixed!

Pulled out the bottom drawer of the stove. Attached the new drawer glide to the drawer. Replaced the drawer and it worked like new!

I received the part two days after I had ordered it. I was very pleased with the speed of the service and the ease with which I found the part I needed on the web site. I will use your site again if needed.

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'--:)

Wow! That was simple! I did not even have to run all over town looking for the parts. I just hopped on the web, checked out the online diagrams, ordered and the parts showed up in the mail within a few days. It could not have been easier. Parts Select is now in my bookmarks for future use.!

Thanks guys

Removed old glides and replaced new ones.

The on-line video made it real easy.

I used a screw driver to pop the broken glide out and then snapped in the new one. The repair took all of about 30 seconds. It probably would have taken even less time if the former owner had not epoxied the broken piece in place.

I just placed the new glider in place and put the drawer back on its hinges and it was good to go... my wife was extremely happy
