I just completed this mod thanks to the OP. Only issue I had was trying to get the oven door off to make the install easier. Here is how it's done on a Magic Chef oven:
I figured it out. The Magic Chef oven has a bottom hinge and 2 larger levers at the bottom. The larger levers are spring loaded and have a hole in each one.
1. With the oven door all the way open, grab the larger lever with a pair of channel lock pliers and pull down and towards the door handle. Be careful not to let go as they are spring loaded. Having someone help put a nail in the hole of the lever will make it easier.
2. Do the same on the other side then you can lift the door till the nails take the pressure of the spring
3. Undo the small bottom hinge that's held on with a phillips screw. Support the door while removing the screws and it comes off.
