I can order this part on Appliance Part Pros for $137.88 (CNTRL-ELEC #AP3962998), but need to know if I'm able to fix myself? The technician wanted to charge me $350.00 for the part and another $300.00 for labor. Can you please let me know if this is a job I can fix by myself having the part, or do I need to have a technician install for me. Please advise. Larry
