Replace the burnt out Broil Element (Top)
The part arrived promptly and as described. I had already unscrewed the bad coil so it was easy to just put the new one back in on the open sockets. I then put the top support plate through the element and quickly screwed it back on.
I made the mistake of thinking that, if the oven was off, there would be no voltage to the heating element. Wrong! I removed the element, wearing rubber gloves just for safety, and had no problem. But when I put the wiring back on the new element and tried to slide it into the hole at the back of the oven, one of the wires brushed the metal, sparks flew, and melted one of the wires. Even though the oven was off, this wire was hot. The solution was, of course, just to turn off the circuit breaker, reconnect the wire, and slide the element back in. It works fine now.
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.
Turn off the breaker. Remove the two screws holding the bake element and disconnect the two wires. Plug the new element in and re install the screws. Trip the breaker back on and test the oven. It works.
Turned power off by switching off the breaker. Removed both racks from oven. Removed two Phillips head screws at back of oven securing the old heat element. Pulled old heat element forward about four inches exposing the two power wires connected to it. Removed the wires from their connectors. Removed old element. Connected new element to power wires and pushed it back in place. Replaced new Phillips head screws. Replaced racks, and turned power back on. Oven was fixed in less than five minutes. Disposed of old element. Life is good.
1. Turned off oven electric power at circuit breaker.. 2. Removed 2 screws at coil at back of oven. 3. Pulled coil away from back of oven. 4.Pulled power wire clip up vertically from coil.One clip was too tight to pull up by hand. Used a pair of pliers. 5 Removed coil and put new coil in place with wireclips. and screws provided.
I ordered both the light bulb and the switch that controls it. I had not pulled the stove out because the ones I bought this house from did not level the floor which meant I had to wait on a socket set to arrive in order to be able to pull my stove away from the wall. Once I got the socket set and the stove out I removed the panel on the back. I saw then that my red light bulb had shattered in half forcing the switch to just hang free. Glad I had ordered both parts, removed the old, replaced new with ease... then it was a matter of sliding the panel back in place without the main control panel getting misaligned, few trial and error checks and it went back with ease. New light works! Very easy.. probably less time if your floor is level.. then I had to play with the little legs to get it even again. For now it is ok until the spring where I go to redo the floor and make it all LEVEL! Very easy! Hope it doesn't burn out again but if it does I know what to do! Maytag rep wanted to charge me $100... No thanks!
