Burner would go on and then turn off, repeatedly.
Unplugged unit, removed plate behind control panel, removed 5 or 6 wire connectors, pulled off burner switch knob and removed 2 screws that holds switch in place. Reversed the procedure and was done.

could not control temp on burner
Took appro 8 screws out of back panel, 2 screws holding switch, and pulled out switch, unhooked wires and reinstalled wires on new switch. Had to snap off stem with needle nose pliers which is simple and put everything back in place in reverse order!

the dial would not work unless the special screws, which are extra short, are utilized.
since I only had one of two screws, i installed with just the one. it would not work at all using a slightly longer screw, which is very odd.

intermittant power to "burner" eye
due to the cooktop age, part was not an exact duplicate. I had to drill new holes in the stainless steel for mounting and ground wire. I used a lot of kitchen matches to heat the shrink tubes over the twist connectors. I should have gotten a heat gun or torch.

Two drip Bowls needed to be replaced
No tools needed. And it's always great to be able to replace parts on my VERY old counter-top range. It still works very well, and now it also looks great. Delivery was amazingly fast, too! Thanks!
