Jennifer W Richmond , CA July 19, 2016 Appliance: Whirlpool Electric Range RF365PXMT0 I broke two trim pieces taking the oven door apart to clean it since i was ordering to side trim pieces i decided to replace the bottom door trim piece as well since it was bent and rusty The hardest part of this repair was a) realizing that the easiest way to clean the oven door pieces is to remove the whole door and b) figuring out how to put the oven door back on. Doing (b) is infinitely easier if you stick two allen wrenches into the holes in the door hinge, but these holes ONLY appear when the door is fully open. Prop the hinges open BEFORE you remove the door. As many posters online will tell you, it is easy to remove the oven door but hard to put it back on. It is easily lifted out when the door it in the almost-closed position. However, it is not easy to put it back in because the hinges are strong and have to be propped open. Lock the hinges open all the way BEFORE removing the door. Replacing the trim takes 15 minutes if you know how to do it. It took me 24 hours to figure that out. I hesitated to spend almost $100 on these three trim pieces, but it was worth it. Along with cleaning the other parts, the oven now looks new. P.S. The first bottom trim piece I received was bent, but Appllance Parts Pros replaced it quickly and without hassle.

Colleen P Williamsburg , VA May 06, 2016 The side trim was brittle and snapped we had taken the door off to clean and couldn't get it back together It wasn't too difficult once we realized how it went back together. On our model, this trim piece goes on either side. Then the glass goes on in front of the trim pieces on either side, and we screwed it back on.
