First, I left the new part on the kitchen counter for a couple of days. To my surprise, NOT, my husband didn't take the bait.
With no other options I took control. First I turned off the power to the wall oven, unscrewed the bracket at the back of the oven which holds the broiler in place. Then I unscrewed the brace on the top of the the oven, pulled the element out, unhooked the connectors for the old, connected the new, and slid broiler into the brace. Screwed that down then pushed wires and connectors back and screwed bracket in place. Turned power back on and tested - works great.
Still don't think my husband's noticed a thing. Somethings are just better left unsaid.
Removed old assembly, attached wires to new and inserted into space for same. Of course you must turn off the range circuit breaker. The part that took the most time was removing the old assembly. Once that was done, the rest took only a few minutes.
Turn off the electricity for the oven from the switch box. Unsure the damaged element from the unit. Pull it forward and unplug connections. Then plug the new element and use the new screws to screw it back to the unit. That's all
I replaced both hinges and then the door would not stay open so I put one new hinge and one old hinge without a spring on. I did not see the old springs to know whether the new springs were stronger. it was a very simple and easy process. I pulled the oven out of the cabinet part way so I could access the screws and removed the old hinges and installed the new ones. push oven back in a replaced screws into the cabinet.
Shut off electricity to oven. Remove existing screws attaching element to back wall of oven. Use pliers to pull off wire connectors. To install the new element, reverse these steps. It's that simple.
The instructions reviewed in the Maytag Parts web site provided very good information that told me how to remove and replace the heating element. It took me about 15 minutes to complete the replacement. The oven then began to function properly.
I am impressed with the rate I was sent the replacement. I received the replacement within 24 hours after I submitted the request for the product.
Unscrewed old element from back of oven, disconnected and reinserted new element and screwed back into place. Voila! So glad to have saved the cost of a repairman. Where I live this would have been a $200 repair(part and service call) easily. This repair took no time at all. Very please as to how fast Parts service got the part to me. I use my oven a lot, so I was lost without it.
I TURNED THE POWER OFF !!! removed the two screws holding the element in place, disconnected the two power wires, installed the new element. Done, in less than five minutes.
I removed the front panels and took out the clock. Clock removal was done two or three wires at a time. I hooked up the old wires to the new clock as I went. There were about 7 wires. This ensured a proper hook up. Reinstalled the front panels, and back to baking dinner.
