MER6770AAW Maytag Range - Instructions

unscrewed back plate, replaced, done!

My husband installed the lower bake element. Pulled out the range. Unscrewed the element and screwed in the new one. Pretty simple. Don't loose the wires once you unscrew it. Cost us less than $40 to repair it ourselves and saved $$ by not calling a repair company.

Two screws hold a metal plate onto the wall of the oven. The electric element comes out of this plate. Once the plate is removed you can disconnect the two prongs of the element. New element is then just plugged in and the new metal plate is screwed into the oven wall. Presto the oven works!!!!

The "PartsSelect" General discription of the parts funtion helped me to confirm my suspitions that there was some form of temperature registering problem. I whatched the short video they provided on how to change the part out, even though, in this case, it's pretty self explanitory.The part was in my hands a day erlier than promised and in reality, much earlier than I had anticipated from the beginng. It took me all total, 20 minutes to exchange the part out and have the oven in operation again.

The sensor inserts into a slot in the back side of the range. By removing screws on the heat shield on the backside of the range, the sensor wires will be exposed can be unplugged. Then remove the screws that attach the sensor to the back inside panel in the oven. Next, pull the old sensor out. The wire leads will get caught on the insulation blanket, no big deal. Reverse the process to install the new sensor. The new sensor comes with two connector sets for the wiring. I did the whole job for less than the cost of a service call.

Disconnect the power.took the cooktop off the range. Turned it over. Removed the underside plate. Disconnected the bad element. Pluged inthe new element. Replaced the under plate. Reconnected the range to the stovetop .put cooktop in place. Reattached screws. Turned on power. Worked perfectly.

Ordered the element from partselect one day, received it the very next day. Turned off the breaker for the range, unscrewed the element, removed the contact points, attached the new element contacts, screwed in the bracket. Finished in 15-20 minutes, really simple.

Took out screws holding element in the back of the bottom oven, pulled out old element and replaced it with the new element. Put screws back in.

We lifted the glass top, uninstalled the old burner and installed the new burner in it's place. It worked right away - and is still working. No other tricks the new burner was a perfect fit.

Switched breaker off. Removed screws from element and bracket. Eased element forward and wires came through holes. Detached wires, attached to new element and eased back through holes. Replaced and tightened all screws. Switched breaker back on.

It was so easy! Just two screws and the new heating element plugged right in. Thanks so much for the quick shipping and reasonable prices! I will definitely recommend you to others!

I unplugged oven, then I unscrewed both screws that held support bracket on, removed support bracket. Unscrewed the screws on each side of element, slowly pulled element forward until push on terminals were exposed. Put twist ties on each terminal wire, to keep wires from falling back into holes when they are removed from the element. Removed each push on terminal from bad element, re-installed them on new element, removed twist ties, eased element and push on terminals back into each hole, installed (tightened) screws that hold element on, re-installed metal support bracket and tightened screws that hold it on. Plugged oven in and tested element, all good.

After checking with the local appliance store I learned they wanted about $50 for the element and $65 for the service call plus labor I decided to check the internet for other options. I found the part on your web site for $37 with no shipping charges added. I had found other sites with a lower price but was not satisfied the part was going to be new. To my surprise it arrived in 2 days. I had checked the instruction on how to replace it and with only a screw drive and flashlight it was fixed and tested in 15 minutes. I am mechanically inclined, so that helped as I have done simple fixes on other appliances before.

We followed the directions on the video on PartSelect.com. first we turned off the electricity to the oven. Then we removed the oven racks. Then we unscrewed the element from the back of the range, and unhooked the two wires leading into the element, making sure that the wires were long enough not to 'disappear' back into the insulation. Then we took the new element, plugged in the two wires, screwed it back in to the back wall, and that was it! Done. We then turned the electricity back on and turned the oven on to be sure the element was working properly. It was - and we are happy. VERY EASY job with fantastic directions on the online video. Thank you very much!

I removed the old sensor via the two screws holding it in, unplugged it and replaced it with a new one.
