AOCS3040E (P1132378NE) Maytag Wall Oven - Instructions

exactly as described, your service was excellent, thank you

Unscrewed the oven from the opening. Removed the metal housing on the oven. Found the control panel. Hard to remove with the type of plastic anchors holding the panel on. Wasn't bad after that. Just had to keep track of the wires as you disconnected them. Reconnect to new board as you disconnect was the simplest. Worked just fine after that. nice new oven again.

Pulled out old element, put in new element. No problem. Works like new!

Turned off electricity to oven. Removed 8 screws with a phillips screw driver, pulled element with pan down and pulled wires out of back of oven. Pulled connection of 2 wires out of old element, these just pushed together, no wiring required. Used pliers to bend back brackets holding old element in the pan and removed old element. Placed new element into pan and bent brackets back in place to hold element. Connected 2 wires by pushing the connectors together. Pushed wires back into back of oven and placed element pan up against the top of the oven and put 6 screws back in place. Turned electricity back on. The hardest part was the awkward position of working laying upside down and reaching up to do the screws.

Received the part the day after ordering. Appreciated the quick service and repair took less than a minute.

bought used, oven light was damaged from previous repair attempt, without installation instructions removing the fixture was tricky, had to bend the housing tabs inward w/screwdriver to release fixture (more damage). once out the new fixture went in place quite easily, wires simply hook up, re install back panel, re-connect power, Have a nice Day!

The key to this repair was making sure I typed in the correct model number and serial number so that I got the correct part. I had read here that a couple of folks had received the wrong temperature sensor (i.e. it had the male plug instead of the female plug). Unfortunately I had to call the local appliance repair guy as the plug could not be accessed from the interior of the oven. It was easy to remove the 2 screws that held it in place but I could not pull enough of the wire out to access the plug. The local repair guy pulled to oven out and removed the back in order to unpluy the bad sensor and plug in the new one. It was actually kind of nice that he came as he used a digital thermometer to cycle the oven through a couple of warm ups to see if it was actually working correctly. It worked fine and my wife was happy again. The $75 I spent on the repairman was darn well worth it. "Happy wife = happy life!"
