How to replace a range oven door lock assembly in your Kenmore Pro electric range

• Carefully pull the range forward and unplug it. If necessary, have someone assist you when moving the range.
• Remove the screws that secure the back panel to the range. As you remove the last couple of screws, press the panel against the range so it doesn't fall. Carefully lower the panel to the floor and then set it aside.
• Disconnect all the wires from the oven door lock motor assembly. Remove the mounting screws that hold the door lock assembly in place. To release the door lock assembly from the connecting rod, pull the oven door lock motor assembly down and tilt it in. Remove the door lock assembly from the range and discard it.
• Tilt the new oven door lock motor assembly and insert the connecting rod in the opening. Work the assembly into position and screw the door lock assembly in place. Carefully connect all the wires in the right location on the new oven door lock assembly.
• Position the outer back panel on the back of the range so that the holes line up and screw it into place.
• Plug in the range and push the range into position. Ensure that the rear leveling foot is properly engaged in the anti-tip bracket.

Troubleshooting your Kenmore Pro electric range when the broiler won't work

A broken broiler element or failed electronic oven control board could prevent the broiler from working in an electric range.

A broken oven temperature sensor probe also may prevent the broil element from heating or staying on in oven. When the oven temperature sensor probe fails, you'll likely see temperature control problems in the bake mode as well.

You can test the oven temperature sensor probe by unplugging the range and measuring sensor probe resistance using a multimeter. You should measure about 1,080 ohms of resistance through most probes at room temperature. Refer to the tech sheet for the probe's resistance specification for your range. You can likely find the tech sheet in the control console or taped to the back of the range. Replace the oven temperature sensor probe if you don't measure the correct resistance through the probe. If the probe is okay, then you may need to replace the electronic oven control board.
