mice had made nests in the insulation wrap in the range
I numbered every part. ex: 1 L., for first part removed left side. I used a magic marker to circle the holes and wrote the number of screws used on the part, set the srews in a separete place, so that I new where these screws went to. The cleanup was pretty time consuming, but I was able to keep my stove, when every repairman I called to fix my stove told me I was better off buying a new stove. ($600.00 stove 2 years old)Please Note: The insulation blanket needed for the entire stove is two pieces, the sides and top are one part # and the bottom and back, are another part #. I did not know this. I just purchased the top and sides. I got lucky, the back and bottom were still in good shape. So I guess I should have read the description of the part more carefully to see what it covers, before I ordered it. It took two people two hours to do the work, it was really nice to have an extra set of eyes, to remember what direction pieces of metal from the stove went. I would do it all over in a heart beat instead of buying a new stove.

Bake portion of range does not work, looking at the bottom element of the oven you may be able to see the brake in the element if not check it with a meter to see if there is a current.
MAKE SURE OVEN IS OFF, MAKE SURE OVEN IS OFF DONT try to take of the small screws that hold the element in place particulary if it is older (mine was 25 years)usless you have the correct socket. Remember left to loosen and right to tight.Buy the correct size or you will buy new screws in the end.Lay newspaper over the open door before you reach in to the oven to keep from getting any soot or grease on your shirt when you are reaching into the oven. Remove trays from oven.Reach into the oven with the socket( a extension helps)and remove the screws.Gently pull the ends of the old element out of the back of the oven you will see they are connected to wires by slipon clips. Gently pry them off with a small screwdriver putting the screwdriver at the base and turning the screwdriver to pry them up. The box that the new element came in works nicely for the old element. Now is a good time to clean anything on the bottom of the oven while the element is out.Gently attach the wires on the new element slip them back into the back of the oven.Attach one screw but dont completely tighten then do the other one and tighten it.Now tighten the first one.Return trays remove newspaper get you clubs or fishing rod and go have a nice day.

light wont come on
Well, when you put the back cover on and screw it down make sure you have nothing touching the white wire leading to the oven light. I did and it blew the push switch when I threw the 220 breaker. Actually, the light was on when I came in the room, but when I pushed the switch on the front panel it sparked in the rear and popped the breaker. Then I saw the short and when I tested the switch it would not click. The install was fine.

Female tab connection to heating element melted and disconnected
I previously replaced the OEM broken heating element with a compatible but non-OEM version. It lasted several months, but the element melted one of the female electrical tabs and effectively disconnected it. The repair was simple. I ordered a replacement high temperature female tab and a new OEM element from partselect. Removed the broken element, opened the back of my oven, cut back on the electrical wire and attached the replacement female tab and re-threaded through the opening into the oven. Installed the new OEM element and reconnected the electrical leads. Flipped the breaker back on and tested it. Worked like a charm. Closed up the back of the oven and put back into the cabinet. I now have a working oven again and no problems since. My oven was manufactured in 1984 and has been running like a champ!

I snapped a bolt on the main power terminal block when connecting the pigtail.
Removed the small metal panel covering the main power terminal in back of the electric range. Removed the nuts holding the red, white and black electrical wires from the range using the appropriate socket (there will be two nuts on each bolt end). Removed the two screws holding the main power terminal block with appropriate screw driver. Connect the new main power terminal block to the range using the two screws. Reconnect the red, black and white electrical wires coming from the range using one nut for each wire. IMPORTANT: do no over tighten the nuts because the bolts could snap. Reconnect the pigtail and secure the small metal panel covering the main power panel.

burned oven bulb
The hardest part was taking out original light bulb because screws on shield where hard to unscrew after all this years . The old bulb vent out leaving neck in socket. It took narrow electrical pliers to get neck out .The generic appliance bulb did not fit and had aluminum neck ,not recommended for brass sockets in ovens.Putting new light bulb in was not the problem.
