Oven temperature was 50 degrees off
Unplugged stove. Pulled stove out. Unscrewed screws and removed cover. Removed & replaced sensor. Reinstalled cover & screws. Plugged in stove and pushed back in. Only problem was when I pulled stove out, lid opened and disconnected the gas line to a burner.
Can of Corn fix! Remove the two screws in the element cover plate (they're in the back- left/right corners). Remove the two screws that hold the element in place. Pull out the two prong ends of the plug in portion and hold the black / white leads so they do not fall back in behind the unit. Plug in new element (it only goes one way). Screw everything in and test. Place cover plate on after test. Like I said ... a "Can of Corn" fix!
Went to this site and read what a few others had done to fix their problem. Found the model number and ordered part. It was on our steps in less than 3 days. It took less than half an hour to replace and put back together. Just had my first meal from "NEW" oven. Great site, great price and great service!
We Heard A Pop Saw A Flash And The Bottom Element Didn't Work
The first time is always the hardest. I took out the bottom cover that had 2 screws saw the broken element took out 3 screws to the emement. I then pulled out the stove unpluged it from the wall and took off the back panels several screws and found the element connected to the wires I marked the wires left & right and disconected them. I reversed proceedure to install the new element. The oven still won't go over 250 degrees I think when the element blew it to the circuit board with it.
remove stove , unplug power , took back panel off, disconnected wiring to the heating element, from the inside of the stove removed bottom plate /two screws/, removed heating element /two screws/. installed new element .put other parts in order they were removed
replaced faulty door hinge and installed tip-over bracket to floor
removed door (no tools required - just lift and pull door out of range). removed front door panel with a screwdriver. removed/replaced door hinge with nutdriver. replaced front door panel with screwdriver. replaced door on range (again, no tools required). then installed tip-over bracket to floor/wall behind range. measured location, drilled pilot holes and installed wood screws into the floor and rear wall stud.
I turned the braker off the electric range and removed the bottom plate that housed the bake element (two screws had to be removed). There were three screws that held the bake element in place. I pulled the bake element from the two electrical prongs that connected to the oven. I replaced the element and put everything back in place.
More importantly than all of the above. I received the part from Partselect in two days. When I originally put the eleemnt in its place it did not work. I called partselect and was issued another element in two days. The people I spoke to on the phone were proffessional and sympathetic to my problem. I will definetly recommend this company to other people. Thank you very much....
The Maytag stove has a hidden element and therefore I had to remove the bottom cover to expose the element. I had to remove the three screws that held the element in place. The element was badly bent out of shape and must have been that way since new. It was difficult to remove the element and I had to pull the stove out to access the electrical connection in the back to disconnect it. The replacement part was a perfect fit and the installation of the new part went with out hitch and the oven works perfectly.
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.
Ordered the part late Wednesday night and paid for standard shipping. The part arrived Saturday morning, we removed the old part and screwed in the new one. It took minutes! We were shocked at how inexpensive the part was, how user friendly this site is and how quick the order arrived. We will def use this site again!
Turned off CB for the oven,Remove the oven from the cabinet , remove the back of the oven, replaced the light Assembly. turned on CB for the oven, tested the light. and truned off the CB and replace the back and reinstalled the oven in the cabinet.
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.
