1199028510 Kenmore Range - Instructions

I previously replaced terminal blocks and elements so the infinite switch was the last stop before new purchase. I reviewed the online repair video. Unplugged the range and removed the three screws from the rear of the control panel. I Removed the knobs then removed two screws to release the front plate behind the knobs. I removed the two screws securing switch #1 and compaired to the new parts before removing wires. Wire locations were labled the same but in different sequence. I located the knob adapter for my knobs and set them asside. At first I thought the rod coming out of the new switch was too long and then figured out that the indentions allong the rod were to be broken off to the correct length. ( re-reading the included instructions was nearly useless - - not in plain language ) I used a pair of vice-grips clamped just below the length of rod I wanted to break off and it snapped off easily and cleanly for the most part. ( A word to the wise, this is some really soft metal at the breaks along the rod. I attempted a second break on one switch after mounting in the control panel and the thing broke off at the short end - - scary ) luckily I was still able to use it with my knobs and adapters. I relocated the switch wires to the new switch one at a time matching label to label ( L1, L2, H1, H2, P) then mounted the new switch into the control panel. I re-assembled the range and it is heating better than ever. Well worth the effort and minimal expense compared to a service call or replacement range.

First off I want to thank Parts Select for getting the parts to me with-in 24 hours. This is incredible, I effected the repairs with-in 45 minutes thanks to the instructions I found on your site. As a result of Parts Selects web site I think I can handle any appliance repair going forward. Many thanks Ross,

First I read other comments here; then checked youtube.com to see if there was a video - there was! Easily removed the stove door and the storage drawer to access the spring. Removed the spring and used screwdriver to remove 2 of 3 screws - third had a nut on back which required removal of the decorative panel next to the door. After applying Liquid Wrench, was able to use vise-grip to remove last bolt. Inserted new hinge, attached the spring to hinge and stove frame then inserted the 3 screws. Reattached the decorative panel and was done. Repklaced a hinge, not a stove!!!

Very simply following the online video instructions.
