Burnt out light socket and its wiring

My oven has a burnt out light socket, including the wires to it. Everything else seems to look okay. Is this a repair a novice could do? Click image for larger version.  Name: FullSizeRender.jpg  Views: 0  Size: 281.3 KB  ID: 34634

NE595R1ABSRAA Samsung E-81 code

Our Samsung range took a dump on us the other day. The previous day, my wife ran self clean cycle. Went to use oven next day, didn't work. It let my wife set the temp. she wanted to cook at, and start the oven, but after that, nothing happened. I went and reset breaker, a error code E-81 appeared. Looked up code, it suggested it got real hot, and that the high temp. thermostat may be the culprit. It was cheap enough so I ordered one. Before I installed it, the screen on the panel was showing the time of 3:50 (which never advanced), and that the oven divider shelf was in place. So, I unplugged range, let it set for like 10-15 min., took things apart and replaced the thermostat, reassembled and wa la!...nothing. Nothing on the screen illuminated. Waited about 30 min. and nothing still. So, I'm guessing I got other problems. Anyone else have any suggestions?

Jenn air downdraft range broiler turns on, won't turn off

Hello, I own a Jenn air downdraft range, dont know model # yet, when I was baking the other day, the broiler turned on all of a sudden and wouldn't turn off on its own, i have turned it off at the breaker, and when i turn it back on it automatically kicks on. Trying to figure out issue because we rely heavily on the oven at our household, i have had the control panel of it worked on in the pass (about 2 years ago), so could really use some ideas.

KitchenAid Oven KERS206XSS3 takes 2 hours to heat

A few months ago my KitchenAid oven/range stopped heating the oven and upon inspection I noticed that the power connector from the control board that goes out to the heating elements had melted and damaged that portion of the control board. I purchased a new control board and replaced it, and then replaced the end of the power cord with a new flag terminal connector.

The oven now works, but it takes almost 2 hours to heat up, no matter what setting I use (preheat, broil, bake, convection). It does heat up, but takes a really long time. What I have also noticed is that it keeps switching back and forth between the bake and broil elements, no matter which one I selected to heat. The switch is constant and can happen between 30 seconds to several minutes. This constant turning on/off of the elements is clearly why it is taking so long to heat up.

However, I do not understand what could be making it do this? I have tested both elements and they seem to be fine. Could it be a bad thermostat? Or a faulty control board? Or a lack of power getting through the new terminal connector?

Any ideas or suggestions?

Oven Buttons are not working

I am having trouble with only some of the buttons on my double oven wall unit. About half the numbers work, and about half of the other buttons work for turning on and off the ovens and bake/broil/convection buttons It is older (2004), but it is in great condition, but for the buttons which are pretty important in turning "on" the ovens. Is there anything I can do to fix this oven, as I really don't want to replace a good working oven.

VGIC3074BSS Viking natural gas oven one burner won't ignite

Viking natural gas oven one burner won't ignite even after switching igniter from L to R and R to L

I have a Viking natural gas range and noticed that the oven burners weren't igniting so I had a repair person come in on Nov 27, 2015 and tell me that I need to replace the gas supply valve (pb010084). They quoted me an obscene amount of money to supply and replace the gas valve so I sourced the part (pb010084) and replaced it myself. The pb010084 did not solve the problem so I replaced both the igniters in December, 2015 and everything has worked perfectly until today.

I noticed that the left bottom burner (left side when facing the oven door) would ignite for a few seconds and then go out while the right bottom burner continued to burn.

Here's what I have done did so far:
  1. swapped the igniters by moving the L to the R and the R to the L with the result that both igniters glow, the right bottom burner fires up but the left will not even fire up anymore; and
  2. installed the original pb010084 that came with the stove with the result that the right bottom burner still fires up but not the left bottom burner.

I have concluded that the igniters are not the problem since I switched them around a couple of times and only the right side fires up.

Could it be that both the original and replacement pb010084 are defective whereby only the left side is not working?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for reading.
