Caution
When installing the thermostat, extend the capillary tube to the
needed length, however be careful not to twist or bend it, or it may
impede the component's ability to operate properly.
1. Follow all safety precautions and steps in the Preparing the Range
for Servicing, page 21.
2. First make a note how the wires are connected to the thermostat
on the back side of the control panel, and then disconnect the wire
harnesses and connectors.
NOTE: It is always recommended to label and tag all wires, wire
connectors and harnesses prior to disconnecting them, so as to
correctly identify their connections/locations when re-assembling.
Alternatively, you can photograph the wire connections prior to
disconnecting (for example, with your mobile phone).
3. Remove and retain the two screws on the bezel of the griddle/grill
thermostat (see Figure 130, page 69).
4. [For griddle]: Remove thermostat bulb from the retaining bracket,
and then gently pull it through the receptacle (see Griddle
Removal and Replacement, page 26 and Figure 129).
5. [For grill]: Remove the thermostat bulb from the grill burner box
(see Grill Components – Removal and Replacement, page 32).
6. Remove the thermostat from the back of the control panel, and
replace it if needed.
