Hi, I have a model JGS8750BDS stove. I need help getting info on how to replace the latch asy and what parts come off to get to it. I have the front display off and the sheet metal box that covers the top of the part. But how the heck do you get at the bolts to get the old part out. What is your method on reaching this puppy? Thanks for any info. ~ 8 )

Zoondoggie,

You're 3/4 of the way there,

You could use a 1/4 in. drive rachetting socket wrench to remove the screws holding the latch assembly to the oven cavity cover. It's awkward and tight, but doable.

Your other alternative, remove the cooktop assembly,
