W30400PF Jenn-Air Wall Oven - Instructions

Parts package contained no instructions. Found all instructions on internet. I used Phillips head to remove two screws on anchor plate of Long Oven Sensor. Located at upper left, back corner of oven; access to screws is not simple/easy. Screws back out w/o difficulty. Pull/extract sensor harness through hole[back of oven] which required pushing aside insulation. The harness barely fits thru hole in oven back metal wall; I recommend using needle nose pliers ( which I ended up doing ) for ease of extraction. Disconnect harness plastic interlok clips. Perfect reconnection of new clip harness with ease. Reverse procedure to complete installation/repair. Done in just over 35 minutes due to wrestling with harness extraction through minimal hole opening. Failure occurred on Thanksgiving Day with 22lbs turkey in oven. Top of turkey contacted sensor tip which eventually caused sensor fault; result was scorched upper breast and oven shut down [safety by design]. Cook top was still operative; clock and all readings on digital control panel ceased. With new 'long oven sensor' installed - good as new. Will be sure to buy turkey(s) under 20lbs in future.

My husband did the repair on my Oven.He pulled the oven out of cabinet about four inches.He removed the front display panel held by 7 screws.Two screws removed to release Clock control board.Three cables were unplugged.Install new Clock control board.Plug in three cables.Install front panel.Push oven back into cabinet.Total time fifteen minutes.Clock worked great.

Removed the back of the stove, un-pluged the sensor wires, removed the sensor from inside the oven. installed the new sensor, pluged in the wires, and replaced the back of the stove. A phillips screwdriver was the only tool needed.

I ordered the temperature sensor after watching the video and seeing how easily it could be changed out. Unfortunately, they don't tell you that it may be necessary to access the part from the back. When I tried removing the sensor from inside the oven the connection separated before getting to the hole. I tried for 4 days to try to fish out the other end. Finally, I had my brother help me remove the oven from the wall and take the back off at which time we were able to connect the new sensory. It turns out that the wiring is on the upper right hand corner of the oven and the sensor is on the upper left hand corner and the wiring is rather short. I am a 64 year old female and do the majority of repairs around the house myself, but due to the weight of removing the oven I enlisted the help of my brother. After removing from the wall the rest was a breeze. Just wish the videos or written info on the website was a little more clear as to the different ways of accessing the damaged part.

Turned off breaker,opened door with bent coat hanger by sliding right to left the coat hanger to open the door, remover 2 screws holding in the sensor in upper left corner of the oven. Remove the sensor (gently) with the wire connection from back of oven pulling sensor out a out 8 inches . Disconnect plug. Install new sensor with matched harness /.connection, installed 2 screws ,turned on breaker.

Slowly disassemled door from outside in. This included removing the section below the door to access the screws that were inserted vertically into the bottom of the door. There are hex screws and phillips head. There were several pieces of glass in the door that had to be removed to get to the inner glass. We finally lifted out a frame that held the broken piece and one other. Working on a flat surface we unlatched a small tab in one corner (pliers) and unwrapped frame just enough to release broken sheet. Wearing gloves we removed all the broken glass and gently inserted new piece. Realigning the other piece of glass we gently closed the frame reinserting the tab of metal and securing. Would HAVE to have two people to do this! We then reassembled the door reversing the process. Note: It is a SMALL hex screw.

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

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

Open oven door, under the lip below the control panel there are 4 Phillips head screws and 4- 1/4" screws. If you have a screwdriver with interchangeable tips, you can use it for both fasteners. Remove the Phillips head screws first, Trim piece will drop down, clean while you have it out. Remove the 1/4" screws, the control panel will drop out about 4", it will be able to rotate towards you, you will see the display unit. Using a pointed knife, slightly pry the clip away and remove the two wired plugs. on the ribbon connector, on each side there are tabs, push these in and pull up not more than 1/8", the ribbon will pop out or take VERY little to remove, it is difficult, make sure the tabs on both sides are up. Remove the display via 1/4" screws. Reverse the process with the new unit but, make sure the tabs are up on the ribbon connector, this is the only thing I had problems with, took me about 3 min to figure it out. new display came with a "Static Electricity" warning. MAKE SURE YOU TOUCH THE FRAME OF THE OVEN BEFORE YOU TOUCH THE NEW DISPLAY UNIT TO AVOID STATIC DISCHARGE AND PROTECT YOUR NEW UNIT.

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

The repair went just as the directions that came with my order confirmation stated. It could not have been more straight forward. I love my new bright clock and panel display! Thank you PartSelect.

Replace the oven sensor per the excelent easy video you provided

Watching the video of how to replace the sensor was great help and much appreciated, the only difference was that my wires were much shorter and I had to pull the oven out of the cabinet to get to the back of the oven to release the clip holding the wires together, unlike the video where the man jiggled the wires until the clip holding the wires together came through the little slot where the probe is attached, otherwise it was pretty simple, just a few extra steps to pull the oven forward to get to the rear to release the clip holding the wires together. Once I was able to release the clip I used one of the 2 adapters that was sent with the sensor probe and attached them after putting the wires through the hole where the probe was attached first then replaced the 2 screws that holds the sensor in place, slid the oven back in and turned the circuit breaker back on and it works perfectly. The video gave me the confidence to do this job though and I thank PartSelect very much for being a great company to help with videos and sending the parts so quickly.

We took the back off the stove and unscrewed the two screws from the inside holding the sensor on and pulled it through and plugged it in and then replaced the screws. Very easy. We are still having trouble as the display does not read the same as the tempature is in the oven.

I followed the first instructions that were listed on your site. Except I didn't need to remove the screws on each side of the turn on knobs. I just removed the knobs and then found out that I didn't even have to do that. The whole panel came down and I rested it on other pans so I could unhook the "cables" to the board. The most trouble I had was trying to unhook those cables. BUT once done, the job was a cinch. "I AM WOMAN - HEAR ME ROAR." Yes I did it all by myself and am quite proud of it too. Thanks so much for the instructions. VERY, VERY, helpful. Probably saved over $125 in service call-plus the markup of the dealer.
