ACO27DEW Amana - Instructions

First I removed the two screws that held the element in place. Then after slightly pulling out the wires, I disconnected the two wires on each side. The new part just snapped into the old wires. I pushed the element back into place, replaced the original two screws to hold it into place, and it was all done! Two screws and two wires...done. It took about 2 minutes and this is something I have NEVER done before. The oven works beautifully now!

I just had to take 4 screws out and pull it out and put the new one back in!!

The hardest part was taking out original light bulb because screws on shield where hard to unscrew after all this years . The old bulb vent out leaving neck in socket. It took narrow electrical pliers to get neck out .The generic appliance bulb did not fit and had aluminum neck ,not recommended for brass sockets in ovens.Putting new light bulb in was not the problem.

1. Unscrewed glass cover on bulb
2. Removed old bulb
3. Screwed in new bulb
4. Replaced glass cover
5. Mixed drink & baked cupcakes

I just replaced the missing knob by pushing it
into it's proper place and then I was able to set
the oven temperature.

I was astounded, I ordered the part on Thursday afternoon and FedEx delivered it on Saturday afternoon. Great overall service.

Turned off the breaker. Unscrewed the two srews holding the element in the back of the oven. Pulled out old element. removed the clips from the old element, placed them on the new one. Pushed the element into place. replaced the screws. Turned on the breaker. Total time about 5-6 minutes. Wish all reapirs were this simple and easy.

very easy

Screwed in light bulb and glass protector

I pulled down the wire around the glass cover. . . Released on end of the wire from its holder being careful to not let the glass cover drop. Unscrewed the bulb and replaced with replacement. Easy, easy.

ordered new broiler pan

My husband took the plastic cover off and took out old bulb and screwed in the new one. Then put the cover back on.

The key was finding the right socket and using my 1/4 inch socet set and rachet. Remove your nuts, pull out disconnect wires, remove old element and put new one in place. One tip is turn on stove light to be able to see well while in oven.

To diagnose the problem I felt of the element a few moments after turning the oven on. It was cold. (rocket science, I know). I ordered the element replacement, which arrived less than 24 hours later. I turned off the power to the oven, unscrewed the old element and pulled. The wires are attached to the element in a way that reminds me of plugging in a USB port. Plugged, screwed back in, powered up and made some banana bread.

I took oven door apart and replaced old gasket with new one.
