Control Panel Components:

Control Panel Removal
NOTE: If servicing a rangetop, it will need to be pulled
forward slightly to access the control panel mounting
screws.
Begin removing a control panel by pulling all of the con-
trol knobs from the valve shafts. Extract the screws
from the bottom left and right corners of the panel. Pull
the bottom of the control panel out about thirty degrees
and lift slightly to disengage the top flange of the panel
from its mounting. Then, tilt the top forward. (See
Figure 3-20)
To completely remove the control panel, the control
knobs must be pulled from the thermostats. Then,
extract all thermostat mounting screws and unplug all
electrical leads from the lights and switches. (See
Figure 3-20 & 3-21)
Fan Switch, Light Switch & Indicator Light Removal
After tilting the top of the control panel forward, a light
switch, fan switch and/or indicator light can be removed
by first disconnecting the electrical leads. Then,
depress the tabs on the sides of the switch or light
while pushing it towards the front of the panel. (See
Figure 3-21)
Thermostat and Thermostat Bezel Removal
After tilting the top of the control panel forward, discon-
nect the electrical leads from the thermostat. Extract
the thermostat mounting screws (which pass through
the bezel into the thermostat bracket). Now, push the
thermostat back out of the control panel. (See Figure
3-21)
NOTE: The thermostat bulb will need to be pulled from
the oven compartment or griddle at this time.
