Remove mounting screws or other hardware securing the board in place. Lift out the old board.

Install the new control board and attach with original mounting screws or hardware.

Reconnect wire connectors to matching terminals, ensuring colors or locations match up properly.

Replace the control panel and mounting screws around the edges.

Reattach control knobs by pushing them back onto the stems.

Restore power and test ovent functions like bake, broil, temperature controls.

Disconnect power. Turn off power to the range at the main circuit breaker before working on any electrical components.

Remove fan housing cover. Unfasten screws or tabs to remove the oven's convection fan housing cover.

Disconnect wires. Unplug the electrical wires attached to the existing convection motor. Note wire positions.

Remove mounting screws. Use a nut driver or screwdriver to detach the screws or bolts securing the motor in place.
