EPE861KW829A Hardwick Range - Instructions

Removed old element and element gasket. Replaced both by alining gasket with element and screwing in retaining screws. Jod completed.

My husband took the plastic cover off and took out old bulb and screwed in the new one. Then put the cover back on.

very easy

ordered new broiler pan

Screwed in light bulb and glass protector

Ordered and received the terminal block. Installed it along with a new 220V power cord and the appropriate insulator . Ensured the terminals were tight with a nut driver. Reinstalled cover. Then, using the control panel, I did a function check on all the heating elements, clock, oven light, to satisfy all operational requirements. All checked good! And, I was relieved that the control panel had not been shorted out as the terminal block was due to a loose connection. Easy fix.

I pulled down the wire around the glass cover. . . Released on end of the wire from its holder being careful to not let the glass cover drop. Unscrewed the bulb and replaced with replacement. Easy, easy.

removed old and installed new

The element appeared to have been damaged. I replaced the element with ease. However, I still have the same problem. The oven does not heat up to the set temperature. Information from the part select website is that it is more likely the long oven sensor. I ordered one and will provide the results after I have this sensor replaced with a new one.

Used old screws, as no new ones included. New handle for upper oven aligned perfectly with screw holes. Excellent image on website made us believe this would work and it did! We are not mechanical types, but this was very easy. Thrilled to replace the old handle with new one that was exactly like it, though stove is more than 35 years old, and this upper oven model doesn't seem available any more. It is not a microwave!

My Magic Chef is more than 30 years old, after all those years, the stove handle broke off in pieces. I found you online and with your help was able to order a new part which arrived lickety split. It took about 5 minutes to remove pieces left of the old handle and install the new one. I love you, almost as much as I love my appliance!!!

The Burner Control Switch - 250V Part Number: PS2089409 that this site recommended was the right part for this older range. Had to remove screws to pull out the front panel with knobs, but it only pulls out a couple inches due to wires so it is tight to remove old switch. The five tabs are not in same spot so go by the labels and the wire lugs fit just fine, and the knob snapped right on and works great. Thank You!

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

Unplug stove from outlet!! Removed screws (Phillips head) from prior element and pulled out enough to slip of the red and white wires. Keep in mind which side which is on and take old element out of oven. Put new element in and attach wires back on the same sides. Push back in and use screwdriver (Phillips head) to lift insulation to push wires and element prongs back. Put screws back in, close oven door and plug stove back in. Tested and works great!

Range is a 1967 model Maytag. First I removed drawer under oven, unplugged the range and pulled it out from the wall. Removed oven door by positioning it in the partly-open detent position, then pulled up to remove the door. Next I removed 7 screws per side panel: 3 in front and 3 in back, and one on top under cooktop, which retains the cooktop hold-down clip. With side panels removed, I noted the oven door spring position on the intact left side, then replaced the right-side spring first using the same spring adjustment positions. As I replaced the spring, I applied lithium grease to the spring hook pivot points as well as the spring coils where they rub against the interior wall. I repeated the process on the left side. I reassembled the side panels, oiled the door hinges and reinstalled the oven door. Reinstalled range and bottom drawer. The oven door operates like new, and the new springs are totally quiet — good for another 47 years!
