My Hotpoint version of this set has not been on the bench yet. It is disassembled and I will look at it.
I hate to recap in tight quarters and find that freeing a PC board enough that you have full access to both sides for soldering and the ever-important inspection afterward works best.
This sounds like alot of trouble but it pays off when you have full access to test resistors replace parts.
GE sets, especially this one, have the BARE MINIMUM of parts to comprise a functioning circuit, so every part counts!
You may want to take some photos of the PCB first.
Then get some electrician's numbered cloth strips or "Brady tags" or similar by Thomas & Betts.
These are one one-inch long by 1/8" wide, white with about 6 black numbers across the length.
You take one of the numbers and put it on the PCB next to the stake on the PCB and wrap the rest around a wire.
Take another picture and start cutting wires enough to get it free.
