[rogerca]

your video saved me from buying a new range, had no idea there were two different breakers 😄 thank you

[BigPowerAL]

Appreciate you sharing this information. The clear description of material as well as the animations were helpful.

[logwind]

You guys are terrific. I hope you're still making videos.

[veritas]

Thank you. Nice video and really helpful.

I would like to see the testing all the way through to explain why your changing the part. The best way. I associate the video. Please do more

[Dirreejaalalaa]

Please do video on how ac single phase motor rotates in one direction even if the current reverses direction.

Excellent video. I learned so much. My error code on my whirlpool indicates the control board but my element looks swollen. The control board was replaced last year and quite costly. I will check all the wires first but if the element is damaged is it possible that it might throw a control board code too? I am replacing the element anyhow because it doesn't look great. Thanks
PS- I just learned you have a store in Winnipeg. Im so excited to get my parts there.

On 4:14 you mention the on led light (cook-top indicator) to have a stuck contact how can i fix this?

Thank you for the great videos genuinely enjoyed learning about cooktops, simple but robust system!

My Gma gave me her stove bc she thought her plugs were bad when she herd her stove spark! but I believe something happened to the control board bc when I got it home the oven no longer works but glass top does! It’s a brand new stove!

i have one burner that sometimes heats to the high setting when i have only put it on the number three setting, the stove is only 4 yrs old, and it doesnt do it every time ? what could it be?

[tonyweaver]

I have a question for conventional ovens. If each, burner is on a separate circuit, what would happen if you crossed those circuits even when off? I believe my apartment had some crappy electrician exposed wire and both right burners were connected while cleaning and it shorted out killing the whole oven.

[EdwinChavez-iihu]

on an electric Kenmore range when it is started should both top and bottom heating elements turn red?

[CanYouHandleTheTruthMan]

What about emf exposure? Will it be a health risk over long-term usage?

[biksonbikesh]

my whirlpool coil cooking range have problem . Only down heating element works while baking but not up. is that problem .. or thats the system how it works??

How do you remove the top to replace spark module from a gas cooktop seal burner with no screws on the burner itself? Only the summer burner back left has a tiny screw on it. Sc8640edb4
