A3631WRA Admiral Range - Instructions

used drill to remove old screw

I will begin by saying that not only will I continue to order my parts from PartsSelect, but I also highly recommend this business. If you call Whirlpool be careful that they forward your call for parts to some preferred vendor, which a customer might assume is Whirlpool but it is not. PartsSelect is the same type of business, but with outstanding customer service. With regard to the drip pan, Whirlpool had not updated the part number for these as I found out when i called them. Whirlpool no longer uses the drip pans without the holes which is a serious problem since this could be hazardous to the owners of these ranges if you are forced to purchase the drip pans with the holes in them. That said, I ended up keeping my old drip pans, because if you spill grease under the new ones with the holes in them and since the range design with the fan built in on the top does not allow you to lift the top to clean under the pans, you could end up with a grease fire. This is not the fault of PartsSelect and they handled my order in a manner that I would give them a rating of exceptional for customer service.

Upon receiving the replacement part, I noted that the socket was held in place by simple expanding tabs. TURN OFF POWER TO THE OVEN. Using a right angle pick or similar tool, bend the tabs inward on the existing socket and remove. Disconnect the white, black and green wires. Note which tab is the green tab. Attach the wires to the new socket. Push the new socket into place, aligning the key bump on the socket with he slot in the oven wall opening. Install bulb and diffuser.

two philips head screws and pull straight out about 6 inches unfasten wire connectors. Be careful not to let insulation catch fire when you reconnect the two slip on connectors. Put the two screws back in and you are done

I was unable to remove the screw which held the electrical element.. so I took the new surface burner receptacle and removed the metal part, and used the old one and put in the new one in the old metal part and rewired, and it is like new.. now I need to do another one.

Remove two Phillips head screws , detach element , replace with new one. Very simple

I ordered the part on a Monday morning and I had it on Tuesday. (I used regular shipping) Took out the oven racks and unscrewed the element. I pulled out the element about 4 inches and disconnected the wires, and removed the element. I made sure the wires were not burned and that the connectors looked good. They did. I simply connected the wires to the new element and screwed it back in place.

After we got the part in the mail my husband put it on and shortened the wires and put new plugs on the ends of the wires and we had to get a new plug put it on and it was fixed.

It was so easy to order a new one from your company. And it arrived in less than a week! I slipped it into the electric outlet and it worked perfectly. THANKS. Wanda Major

I think the installation instructions are fairly self explanatory. This is the second item I've ordered from Parts Select and I'm thrilled with their service. The items are always less expensive than other sites and they deliver what they promise. I would highly recommend them.

Used new plug in coil burner.

Amazingly simple. Removed 2 screws, pulled off 2 wire terminals, removed broken element. Re-attached wire terminals, installed screws.......baked some cookies to reward myself. lol Actually, my girlfriend replaced this part. I just talked her through it. Thanks Partselect. I wasn't able to save you any cookies though.

Remove heat coils, take body of coil inserts out, remove screws from body, cut old receptacle out, tie new recptacle wires to the old piece of left over wires using wire nuts, and reassemble body, insert heating coils and test.

followed your excellent video and the job was a breeze Thank you !

Oven is built in. The only way to access the hinges is to pull the oven out and remove the sides.
