CRE7700ADE Maytag Range - Instructions

My wife detected the problem Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving. We've had the heating element break before, so we knew right away what the problem was. We ordered the part that night, and even though we weren't able to cook Tom for Thanksgiving, the part shipped on Friday and arrived the next Thursday.

First, I turned off the power to the stove at the circuit breaker.

Then, I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. They are on the top of the flange and partially concealed by the convection element that juts out.

I pulled out the heating element, disconnected the electrical leads, and installed the new one.

I attempted to put the screws back in, but they were a little tough to line up. I decided to leave them out, knowing that I will probably be doing this repair again in a couple of years.

Hopefully, next time it won't be the day before Thanksgiving.

I simply pulled out the old coils and plugged in the new ones. I saved the little pieces that accompanied each coil, because I didn't know what they were used for.

Turned off power circuit to oven. Removed old element by unscrewing two nuts attaching unit to back of oven. Used pliers to help release electrical connections at both ends of element. Re-attached connections to new unit. Screwed nuts back into place. Turned power back on and cooked dinner. Total time for repair was less than 5 minutes.

I Unscrewed the attachment plates located at the back of the over. Pulled the element out so that I could "unhook" the prongs. Replaced the new element by clipping on the prong attachement (you will see where the electrical wires are). Screwed the plates back on and Vola! I'm baking again.

Removed what was left of the original clips. Pressed in the new clips and snapped in the themostat blub

We actually had to get the repairman back that had repaired our microwave. Our range has the attached microwave above the range. My stovetop light worked prior to the visit. When he left, I prepared supper without the light, which did not go on. Ultimately, we had to replace the fluorscent tube, which thankfully, you had. No appliance store in a 35 mile radius did. We finally got the glass protector off, and the new tube did not go on. Back to the repairman, to tell him the new bulb did not work and that probably something happened when he visited before. He came back, found that indeed a wire had been broken when he was working on the microwave. I had indicated to him I did not expect to pay another repair bill after I had alrealy spent 117. before plus the cost of the new bulb, 22. something including shipping. He obliged and id not charge me anythink to repair the broken wire.
Now I have the old bulb for back up!!!
Thank you for having my replacement tube!!

first I removed the 2 screws, I then pulled the element out., accidently lost one of the wire in the insulation and had to take the back panel off which was 8 screws. Probably doubled my time. I received my part in 4 days thanks to good service and FedX It arrived the day before Thanksgiving. Just in time, Thank You All.

used the supplied parts...very easy. The parts were exact replacements.

The hardest part was taking out original light bulb because screws on shield where hard to unscrew after all this years . The old bulb vent out leaving neck in socket. It took narrow electrical pliers to get neck out .The generic appliance bulb did not fit and had aluminum neck ,not recommended for brass sockets in ovens.Putting new light bulb in was not the problem.

First I disconnect the breaker. I removed the defected receptacle and cut the wires. I connected the new receptacle with parts with the new part. Turned the breaker back on and everthing worked fine.

Broken part was already removed, so I used the screw from the broken support and installed the new support. Very simple, easy, and painless.

Called repairman, he never called back for a week. Gave up and found your website, ordered the part. You said it would take 3-5 business days. You lied, it was there the next day. Taking old element out starts with shutting off the juice. Remove trays, pans, etc. Unscrew two screws, pull out elements ends, unclip from wires, reverse the process with new one. You need a light to do this.

the new elements were super easy to replace. the old ones just pulled out and the new ones easily pushed in. the top one was a little more difficult only because it had brackets that had to be slid of and then slid onto the new one.

removed drawer from track replaced supports on track and one on the drawer.

First I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires reverse the order to install the socet was easy but after i was done discovered that the base of the old bulb was stuck in the socet keeped it for future use
