The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The handle to our wall oven door has been a little jiggly for a while. At least a year, probably more. I happened to give it a look recently because it seemed to be getting worse, and through the vent on the top I can see a bracket with two screws that is VERY loose. Of course, can't access it without taking the door off. So I looked up YouTube videos until I found one that seemed to nail it.

YouTube: Cleaning and removing door on KitchenAid range KGSS907SSS02 (allritythen)

Figured I would give him the credit by linking his video. Removing the door was very difficult. For some reason he made it look easy, and after I (finally) got it off I noted my hinges were the same as his. So not sure why I had a problem. But I got it off, laid it down, and removed the five screws he indicated. Outside panel came right off. Tightened all the handle screws snug (not super tight), figured I would clean the exposed innards while I was there**, put it back together (easy), and the remounted the door. The door remounting went so easily that I double-checked myself because some folks appear to have big problems with that step. For me, it was a snap. Much easier than removing it.

If we decide to go back and clean, I'll watch the videos detailing how to clean the innards before we start. But I know how to remove and replace the door now, and the handle doesn't jiggle anymore.

**I could have disassembled further and cleaned more, but it would have required more videos as there were two plates of glass held in place by large metal brackets that had alternating tabs holding the glass. I didn't want to push my luck, plus I hadn't viewed such videos because I thought once I removed the panel everything would be exposed.
