Oven light receptacle broken - bulb base broke off
Turned power off at electrical panel. Pulled oven away from wall. Removed back cover (6 screws), then unplugged wires from old receptacle. I had to pull the squeeze clips backwards & break them to remove the old receptacle - couldn't squeeze them enough to remove them otherwise. The old receptacle came out through the inside of the oven, and the new one snapped in easily from inside the oven as well. Replaced wiring, installed new bulb, restored power & tested. Replaced back cover. Good time to vacuum under/behind where the oven usually lives before sliding it back to the wall.
Unscrew the old one, pull it out, along with a few inches of wire. Use a couple of clothes pins to keep the wire escaping back behind the oven as you unhook them from the damaged (bad) one. Then reverse the process with the new one. No big deal. Works great now and the wife is happy.
After 26 years, the element burned out. I followed the diagrams on this website. Basically, I took out the screws that hold the element in place and carefully pulled the old element forward. The wires had fittings that slipped off the old element (with a little help from the wrench.) When the wires were disconnected, I clipped the adjustable wrench on the one of them to make sure they didn't slip back through the holes in the back of the oven. The old fittings slipped right onto the new element (couple of taps with a small hammer to get them all the way on). Them I slipped the wires back through the holes and put the two small screws in the plate at the back of the element. Quite simple, even for a guy with four thumbs.
Turned off breaker, verified that the breaker controlled the oven and was actually off. This is important since you can still get a shock from leaks in the neutral side that may surprize you if you ground one side. Also some breakers can be mislabeled on older homes. I removed the two screws holding the element to the back of the oven phillips #1 screw driver. I carefully guided the wires and attached terminals out of the recess until I had about 5 Inches of wire inside the oven exposed. Just be patient and careful, they will come out. I then unpluged the wires from the old element and attached a binder clip to the ends so they could not slip back into the oven shell. Clothes pins are also a good choice or some duct tape. I thoroughly cleaned the oven. I then installed the wire terminals to the new element and reversed the removal procedure. I then verified function and temperature of the oven settings. It took me 10 minutes not including oven cleaning time.
Well, when you put the back cover on and screw it down make sure you have nothing touching the white wire leading to the oven light. I did and it blew the push switch when I threw the 220 breaker. Actually, the light was on when I came in the room, but when I pushed the switch on the front panel it sparked in the rear and popped the breaker. Then I saw the short and when I tested the switch it would not click. The install was fine.
First I was told by the maytag repair man that the motor was shot and it would be 467 dollars to repair. Since I didn't have that kind of money I decided to take it apart to see if I could replace the motor myself. Once I had it apart I saw the part that held the motor in place was broken off and the motor was out of place causing it too shut itself off. Once I figured it all out it took about 2 minutes to replace the less than 6 dollar part! Thanks partSelect!!!
Pantry Drawer Cover keeps falling off, not held in place by End Cap Kit
I removed the 2 crisper drawers and the glass shelf directly above the Pantry Drawer. Removed the Pantry Drawer and Pantry Drawer cover so you have easy access to the Right-Hand End Cap. On the right-hand End Cap, there are 2 screws which hold the End Cap in place, use a 1/4 inch driver to unscrew the screws from the front of the cabinet on the End Cap and half-way in of the cabinet, leave the screws in their holes in the End Cap. Lift gently to get off a small plastic pin, and move the End Cap away from the Cabinet. You don't need to completely pull the End Cap out of the cabinet, it'll move more like a door opening. Place 2 washers on each screw and gently put the End Cap back into place, being careful NOT to jostle too much so the washers don't fall off the screws. You will need to gently lift the End Cap back in to place over the plastic pin. Hand-tighten the screws back into place with the 1/4 in driver. Remount the Pantry Drawer on the sliders. When you go to install the Pantry Drawer Cover, you will need to gently push on one of the pins to get the cover back into place. Put glass and crisper drawers back into place.
Test by gently pulling on the Pantry Drawer. If properly mounted, the pins will extend fully into the Cover and will keep it secure when opening the Pantry Drawer.
We turned off the power to the oven and removed the oven racks. Then we used a screwdriver to remove the metal plate in the back of the oven which held the connection for the old heating element. The element pulled out easily and then we connected the wires to the new element. Very simple.
