YWFE505W0JZ0 Whirlpool Range - Instructions

I turned off the breaker (I'm a little nervous even unplugging a 220 plug). I first removed the cover from the back of the stove to get to the wiring/socket. Removed the two wires from the leads - they just pull off by hand but use a needlenose pilers if it is stuck. One is larger so no need to try to remember which one goes where. I removed the glass cover and bulb from inside the oven. I read another post on this site that said there were clips that you had to press to get the old socket out which helped. That part was a little tricky as the insulation around the socket makes it hard to see and the opening is really tight. I finally found the clips and pressed one then got that side out enough to hold the clip back then pressed the other clip and I was able to push it right out. I did not have the strength to press both clips with enough pressure but if you do, that would probably be easier. From inside the oven, I pushed the new socket through the hole - there was a little notch in the opening that had to match up with the socket. I had to push pretty firmly until I felt both clips snap in place. Replaced the wires, turned on the power, screwed in the bulb and cover and I had light!

Turned off power.Removed 2 screws, flipped top over, removed old element, replaced new element,turned over top,fasten down with 2 screws.Turned on power. Turned on burner,made coffee-took a brake.

Remove back panel 10 screws. Disconnect plug in fixture from switch. Front of range remove knob (it just pulls out) remove 2 screws, remove switch. To install reverse procedure.

Remove top by opening oven and taking out two screws in the front. Lift up top and unplug wire connectors on bad element, writing down where they are landed. Take out screw on element bracket and replace. That easy. Be sure to unplug appliance for your safety. :-) Also just wanted to add that PartSelect was great. Ordered it on saturday and was cooking with it on tuesday. Great job.

repair was very easy 20 mins and it was done

After removing the back of the stove, the old light socket was fairly easy to remove. The new socket slipped in place and the wires reattached and now the oven has a light again. A very simple process--especially for someone who's not an expert in repairing appliances.

Purchased 2 piece broiler pan from this site

Repair is fairly easy. Turn off power source or unplug the range. Pull the range out to access the rear sheet metal panels; there's two of them, large upper and smaller lower one (that covers the A/C power connections). Remove the two screws in the bottom panel first and put it aside. Before removing the screws on the upper panel, take note of how the top vertical edge of the panel "tabs" are inserted underneath the stationary top of the range. Remove either five or six screws on each side of the panel and put it aside. Now the rear of the control board is accessible. All of its connectors are color-coded, although its best to shoot a pic of it before removing them. After removing all of the connectors, there's one mounting screw on each side of the board; remove them and pull out the board. Now, install the new control board, making sure all of the connectors are properly secured. Restore power to the range; make sure the problem is resolved (before reinstalling the rear panels) by entering the BAKE mode. Pre(heat) cycle begins to default 350-deg temp; should take 8-9 mins from a cold oven to reach 350-deg. If it passes the test, shut off power and reinstall rear panels beginning with the UPPER one, paying attention to the "tabs." Then install the lower panel, reapply power, slide the range back into its home base making sure the anti-tip bracket is properly engaged. That's it.

Shut down breaker; remove stove back cover plate (8 screws); remove the control knob; remove knob screws (2); simply remove one wire at a time and replace the coresponding wire to the new control unit; remove the snap ring on the knob bar and snap off to fit the proper length; place the control unit in position and reinstall the 2 screws; reinstall the back panel; position stove and turn throw the stove breaker on; test the burner control.

Repair of oven sensor easy to install; however, product did not resolve the problem. Returned new sensor and awaiting refund (2 weeks passed so far).

Ordered a new switch and replaced the old one with it.

Took off top and pulled out old element and plugged in the new one

Removed rear panel disconnect power from wall removed old switch and replaced with new switch and reassembled

Shut off breaker. Remove a total of 3 screws attach wires, replace screws, turn breaker on. Done!

Following your installation, the old part came out easily, with new part installing easily., oven heat is being regulated properly..with range pulled out for part replacement, got that area cleaned too
