Bulb Replacement
I pulled down the wire around the glass cover. . . Released on end of the wire from its holder being careful to not let the glass cover drop. Unscrewed the bulb and replaced with replacement. Easy, easy.

Both outside door handles turned very beige
Everything worked perfectly---thanks to the suggestion of your call center agent. She suggested that since the replacement door handles were no longer available, I should consider repainting them--it worked like a charm. Please tell her she was a life saver. We rent that house in Fl and my returning tenants had complained about the discoloring refer handles. Thank you

Oven will not warm up, or takes a very long time to reach temperature
Replacing an oven igniter is one of the easiest repairs you can make to your oven. There are two igniters - one for the broiler and one for the oven itself. Oven Igniter: Start by removing the rear panel of the oven which attaches with a couple screws. Inside the oven, remove the "butterfly" shaped heat deflector (over the flame tube) which attaches with four screws. You now have access to the igniter. Remove the two screws which attach it to the bracket. On the rear of the oven, unplug the two spade connectors. Pull the igniter out from the front of the oven. Fish the wires for the new igniter through the same hole. Plug the 2 new wires back in. You can't mess this up - the wires have matching connectors and you can't get them confused. The broiler igniter is a little more complicated. You will have to remove the side panel of the oven to reach one of the connectors. It's just a couple more screws. The procedure is the same, but the wires are much harder to "fish" through the hole though. Unscrew the broiler igniter from the bracket and unplug the wires. Before you pull them out, attach a length of clothes hanger so that you pull the hanger into the oven from the rear. This way you can attach the new wires to the hanger and then pull them through to the back of the oven. If you don't attach something when you pull the old wires out, it is very hard to fish the wires for the broiler igniter to the rear of the oven. Good Luck!

Broken inside glass
Instructions on line were very helpful. The only problem was getting the screws loose on the clamps that held the glass in. If I was going to redesign this door I would use Hex head screws that can be removed with a nut driver. Most of the time for the job was taken up by cleaning off accumulated grease. You will be surprised how much gunk can get inside the door.

Damaged Socket When Removing Bulb Base
This is a built-in oven, so the biggest problem was figuring out how to remove it from the cabinet. The solution turned out to be removing the cooktop above it and unscrewing two screws that connected the oven to the inside of the cabinet. The other problem was removing BOTH metal backs from the oven. The first one was easy. The second one wasn't. The old socket was recessed behind the second back, making it virtually impossible to access the metal "wings" that hold it in place, so I ended up pulling out the socket assembly from inside the oven with pliers.

Oven wouldn't light
Removed two screws that attach the oven lighter to the burner. Removed the cover from the back side of the oven (3 screws). Unplugged the two wires from the end of the lighter. I taped a piece of string to the wire ends and pulled the unit out. Taped the new wires to the string, and pulled them back through the insulation. Reattached everything and THE OVEN LIT. Thanks, PartSelect, You saved me an expensive service call. Also, the replacement part arrived in less than 24 hours!

Replace Oven Glass
Replace was not quite like video. I could not remove door so I had to replace glass with door in place. I just kept removing screws until I was able to get to the door. Video helped me know what to expect, double panels, double glass, insulation, rope seal, no caulking. I took pictures with my phone when there was a bracket/spacer that was not obvious on how it went back together. Glass was the perfice size. Thanks partselect!

Oven would not ignite
Pulled insulation out of the way to feed wires through. Might have helped to tie pull string to old wires but fishing them through was not to difficult.No need to cut wires; it is not a good idea to make unnecessary splices.

Door wouldn't close tight
First of all I couldn't believe parts arrived next day. Parts solved the problem I was reluctant to believe new hinges would solve the problem. I installed the hinges in about 1 hour but I had door apart previously so I knew what I was doing. Now my wife is speaking to me again and she threw the wooden spoon away that she used to hold door closed. Just spent $100 dollars and saved $1600 thanks guys.

As a relatively handy person, I have built homes, and done every kind of repair you could imagine from plumbing to heavy construction. I never wanted to play with appliances, just couldn't read those diagrams well enough to feel comfortable. Parts select has changed my life and saved me so much money and I have repaired appliances in several of the homes with no issues using your videos and parts as my guide.

27 year old Chambers Oven, Chambers out of business, Whirlpool helped
The oven light gasket had deteriorated with time and bulb changes. It is a self cleaning oven, which gets very hot during the cleaning cycle. The oven is old (27years) and off the "books" I selected a similar, but slightly smaller gasket (3" OD), and "fit" it to the 3.5" light fixture of the older oven. The gasket material was similar to the original, and I used a usable portion of the original,along with the new gasket to build a gasket for the light lense. Several years prior to this repair, I replaced the oven door springs. Whirlpool, who had taken over what was left of Chambers, had the springs. I did replace one heating element about 15 years ago. The Chamber's salesman told me that the Chambers was the "Cadillac" of all ovens, and it seems to keep running.

all glass on this appliance except the stove top and the door for the oven cracked and shattered due to heat?
The light lens was done by removing the pieces of the lense left in the stove, the bulb itself was stuck in the socket, it took pliers to bend and remove it. The replacement bulb has a mind of it own and comes on intermittently. The Interior door glass posed a bit more of a challenge. The door came apart just fine, but couldn't be put pack together as easily. It took three adults to try to press the pieces of the door back together, but to no avail. It is holding less one screw that could not be placed in the proper position due to misalignment of the holes. No pliers were used as they might have cracked the glass on the front of the door. The Glass Backsplash was very easy to install, however, the light, which is 26 inches long is not easy to come by at a reasonable price, so it was not replaced to date. Overall, it was a better deal than buying a new stove or paying for the warranty which could have paid for a new stove for as many years as I have owned this stove.
