Joe,
Where did you get the service manuel from? Is it a pdf or a physical copy?

Baysedge,

It was a Protected PDF file,

Did you find another problem ?

I'll be happy to copy and send you more information, if you'd like.

No, no problems. I should be able to replace my glass top with info I've found. I just prefer to have as knowledge as possible before I disassemble something for the first time. I found service manuals for older versions of my Frigidaire FES367DSC but they weren't exactly what was looking for. After searching various forums I came across this one, the way you phrased your post made me curious to known if you had access to service manuals that aren't as widely available. If you know of any databases that may contain manuals of the more technical variety(i.e. not the basic ones that come with the stove) related to the above mentioned range pointing me in its direction would be appreciated.

I've rechecked, and attempted to copy and attach the manual I used, several times.

You may want to contact the manufacturer, and see if they can get you a hard copy,
