The oven thermo on our stove is broken and I purchased a new part here. The problem is I am not sure how to get to the thermostat to replace it. How do you lift the stove top on this model? It seems that the surface burners are attached to the top and I am not sure how to take them apart. Any help would be appreciated.
If you lift the burners up then you’ll see two screws under each burner which have to be unscrewed. Lift up the top panel and release the front support. Release the panel rear hinges and put it aside.
Remove all knobs. Remove all screws holding the manifold panel and put it aside.
Unscrew all screws holding the burner box and put it aside as well.
