A drop-in range sits directly on a base cabinet rather than standing on its own legs, with finished trim edges instead of full side panels — there’s no storage compartment underneath, since that space is occupied by the cabinet base itself. Once it’s removed for service, the cooking components are diagnosed exactly as any other Kenmore range’s would be.
