Srv Lampholder Snap-in Rear S99270530

1) Removed the four machine screws on underside outer covering of range hood.
2) Thoroughly cleaned inside of cover, which had become caked with old grease residue and dust.
3) Turned off power to range hood (this probably should have been step 1).
4) Removed inside black covering by removing the single large machine screw. This revealed wiring to the lamp holder.
5) Removed light switch from range hood using the following procedure:
A) pulled knob straight back to remove it from spindle
B) Used adjustable wrench to remove keeper nut from front side of switch
C) Switch assembly was now free to move from inside of range hood, allowing me to access wire slot on switch
6) Removed existing lamp holder wire from switch, by inserting micro-screw driver into wire slot to release tension on the wire so it could be pulled free
7) Removed existing lamp holder wire from bundle of three white wires that had been revealed after removing inside black covering.
8) Removed old lamp holder by pinching together the two steel springs and pulling the old holder body out.
9) Connected white wire from new lamp holder with existing two white wires using a screw-on plastic connector cap to ensure a good connection
10) Secured three-wire assembly and cap with electrical tape to ensure solid connection and no bare wires
11) Connected other wire from new lamp holder into wire slot on switch by simply pushing the bare-end of the wire into the spring holder until no bare wire could be seen any longer
12) Attached switch back onto hood using reverse of procedure described above in step 5
13) With new lamp holder unconnected to hood, I screwed in a new light bulb, restored power and tested the new holder and circuit to ensure that bulb lit up and that there was no arcing or short circuits.
14) Test was successful, we cut power again to the system.
15) After a successful test and with power turned off again, the new lamp holder was placed into its location on the hood by depressing the two springs and inserting the holder in the hole (this was somewhat difficult to accomplish due to the strength of the springs, the tightness of the space and the size of my hands. A little patience and a firm, but gentle grip on the springs helped align the assembly properly and led to successful insertion of the lamp holder)
16) Cleaned grease residue and debris from black inside cover and then re-attached it using the single large machine screw
17) Replaced outer, underside cover using the four machine screws. We installed the corners of the cover in a criss-cross pattern (left front, right rear, right front, left rear) and tightened them incrementally in a criss-cross pattern, snugging them by hand, but ensuring that they were not over tight.
18) Screwed light bulb into lamp holder
19) Installed new replacement lens
20) Restored power to system and tested switch again.
21) Toasted our success with an appropriate adult beverage!

Turned off electricity to overhead fan/light. Removed old bulb socket & old filters, cleaned & degreased all components. Cut & spliced new bulb socket & placed into original position with locking clips. Replaced original metal mesh protective covers over new filters, & places in position.
Turned power on to Range lite/fan. All was working well, Mom & Dad very happy.!
