How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6010662 / WP707929 Grease Filter

Parts arrived within 24 hours. Discovered that spades were burned and making unreliable contact. No controller. Ordered correct parts second time around. Replaced grease filter and drip pans economically. 

Replaced both. Easy Peezy! 

Replaced the burner on the one that wouldn’t turn on and replaced the thermostat on the one that couldn’t be adjusted. 

I ordered and replaced the old ignitor and the corroded mounting screws. 

I cut the lines and had new wire; to wire nut together. Replaced the left burner (Calrod), but it didn't need it. Remove eight screws from the drip tray and Calrod is easy to access and replace. Knobs and filters were easy. Took most of the time to troubleshoot. Need meter with a continuity tester. 

Just replaced them. 

Ordered filter. Order was shipped, received in a couple of days. Problem solved. 

With your replacement parts. 

Removed and replaced. 

Replacing the infinite switch fixed Problem #1. It was easy enough to do once I had the right switch but would have been even easier if there had been a printed diagram of the terminals on the new switch. If I really needed to I could have taken a minute to draw my own though and label the wires as I removed them from the old switch. Problem #2 was solved by simply blasting the switch with an aerosol electrical contact cleaner available at any hardware store.
