Uneven heating of surface burners. Occasional electrical sound (arching) when burner was turned on. Also the burner would heat up and cool down while burner when turned on.
Replaced all heating surface burners. We noticed signs of arching on the front left (large) burner so we replaced that receptacle with a replacement receptacle kit. Very quick and easy install (5-10 mins) using the short part select video on receptacle kit information page.

Oven Demon Possession
Our repair was extrodinarily easy. As my husband was taking out the old element and the oven was off, the element heated up and actually burned him. He readjusted it and it refused to heat again. We figured at that point that there must be a short, so we never even opened the box with the new element. A short time later we decided to use the top of the stove for soup and a small fire started in the oven. We turned off the braker at that point and ordered a new oven.

I decided it was the switch that was bad as it would not turn on or anything.
After my husband replace it we noticed that our knob was worn to the point it would not turn on the new switch. I am sure the switch was o.k. so kept the old one and getting a knob to fix the issue.
