Admiral Free Standing Gas Range, Model #A6498VRV

[SteveM]

Good Morning:

Does anyone know how to access the controls on this older Admiral gas range?

2 screws that can be removed from the bottom of the control panel but the top of the panel does not come free and it feels as if there are screws attaching it? The exploded diagram does not show any screws attaching at the top of the control panel.

I am wondering if the entire top needs to be removed in order to access the top of the control panel.

If the stove top does need to be removed, it would seem to me that the screws at each burner (approx 3 ea.) must be removed and the top should lift off. I did not want to remove it until I could get a good idea on whether I should or not.

 

Thanks,

 

Steve

If you're talking about the ERC, burner switches, et. al., then I believe on these older ranges you just remove the back back panel.

Hi:

I am talking about the spark module, RF burner switch and the keypad which attaches to the ERC. Does it still make sense that you get at these from the rear?

Does to me.  Have you scoped the back panel?  If you see a bunch of 1/4" screws around the perimeter in back, that's a sure hint from the designers that you're supposed to access thata way.

Will do.

Thanks

This is a slide in unit with TP and ERC on the front.  All burners must be removed along with the screws under them.  After that, main tip will be able to be lifted up accessing switches and ERC.

Thats what I thought. I might have been unclear stating it was freestanding.
