A3878XRW Admiral Range - Instructions

The repair was simple and made even easier by the part select web site. I'm very well versed on the web but have never ordered from a site quite like this. Having customers comment on their experiences in the actual use of their purchases is a super idea. I followed the instructions posted by others and found the replacement of the element easy. Thanks for all the input of other do-it-yourself experts.

Compressed the springs and removed the damaged switch, then changed the wiring over to the new switch and press into place, worked fine.

i unplugged the stove, waited for it to cool.. took a screwdriver and unscrewed the two screws attaching it to the back of the oven.. unclipped the connectors.. got online, after looking up the serial number and purchased a new one.. the part came in 3 days, clipped the ends onto the connectors, shoved them thru the holes in back of oven, and screwed both of them back into the back of the oven.. and wala, ready to bake!!! yippee! on a sidenote.. we did not use the stove top while the baking element was unattached.. (watch the video) hope this was helpful :)

I replaced the oven sensor which was easy to replace. A pigtail wire was provided with the sensor which is intended to be installed first so you don't have to reach around the front and back of the oven at the same time. The replacement was easy. However, that turned out not to be the problem. The real problem was the maytag electronic clock control timer, temperature control unit. The part number is 7601P177-60. This device has been discontinued and I was fortunate enough to find the part at a local supplier. Once I replaced this, the problem went away. The oven heats up normally. My original symptom was that when setting the oven temperature to something like 350 degrees, the display would rapidly report heating up the oven to that temperature, and the oven was only mildly warm. If you have that symptom, it is probably not the oven sensor. It is the electronic clock unit. Hope you can find one. If you can't, I think you need to by a new oven. Regards

removed screws slid element out diconnected electric terminals reconnected terminals to new element slid back in replaced screws turned oven on sucess

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

Remove sensor from oven. Disconnected wire from back. Connected new sensor and reinstalled. Temps now stay stable.

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

Watched the video and it was as easy as described. Not many things go as easily as this.

I followed a video on google and once I shut the power off, it took me less than 15 minutes to fix. Saved me atleast $30.00 for a Home Warranty Serv. Charge.
