CWE9900 Maytag Wall Oven - Instructions

I read the online instructions sent in by previous diy'ers. the repairs, esp. the heating element replacement went just as described and went really well. I have used the oven and it works beautifully. Total cost of parts was a little over $60.00. Piece of cake!

removed 2 screws in probe and pulled it out.had to take back off as wire was tangled from factory and couldn't do quick repair

Followed directions as supplied. New part did not work, so it must be in the control unit which is no longer available. So time for a new range.

Followed provided video

We took the door off, you have to be careful of the hinges popping back. We put small screwdrivers on each side and held the hinges out, this made the door easy to just stand up and slide back on the hinges. The glass replacement was simple just a few screws. We spent $127.00 on the part and shipping and a new wall oven would have cost us $1500.00. Thanks for making this part available.

Placed new knob directly on post. No problem

Turned off breaker,opened door with bent coat hanger by sliding right to left the coat hanger to open the door, remover 2 screws holding in the sensor in upper left corner of the oven. Remove the sensor (gently) with the wire connection from back of oven pulling sensor out a out 8 inches . Disconnect plug. Install new sensor with matched harness /.connection, installed 2 screws ,turned on breaker.

Removed the door by unscrewing two screws holding it to the springs. Then I placed the door face down on a counter top. I removed the screws from each layer of the door and turned each layer over and laid it beside the door. Took care to support glass so it did not fall out and break. When I got to the layer where the seal was, I removed the old seal and replaced it with the new one. Then, I replaced each layer in reverse order. You have to be careful when replacing the layer that goes over the seal that the seal remains in the right place. It has a tendency to slip out of place, so check it before tightening screws. To place the door back on the spring loaded handles, prop the handles open a ways with screw driver handles. This provides a gap so that the door will slip on easily

I replaced the oven sensor which was easy to replace. A pigtail wire was provided with the sensor which is intended to be installed first so you don't have to reach around the front and back of the oven at the same time. The replacement was easy. However, that turned out not to be the problem. The real problem was the maytag electronic clock control timer, temperature control unit. The part number is 7601P177-60. This device has been discontinued and I was fortunate enough to find the part at a local supplier. Once I replaced this, the problem went away. The oven heats up normally. My original symptom was that when setting the oven temperature to something like 350 degrees, the display would rapidly report heating up the oven to that temperature, and the oven was only mildly warm. If you have that symptom, it is probably not the oven sensor. It is the electronic clock unit. Hope you can find one. If you can't, I think you need to by a new oven. Regards

We removed the 2 screws at back of oven that hold element on, which took some doing as they were very rusted. We then pulled old element out; this proved a bit difficult because the ends of the old element were stuck in the insulation behind. We had to wiggle the old element back and forth a bit to get it loose from the insulation. Other than that, it was easy.

opened the door; put 12 penny nails in each hinge through the holes for it, removed screws above hinges; slid door off; laid it on a towel on the workbench; removed side/top/bottom screws and laid the outer door aside. removed the screws from the inside of the door, laid the inside glass aside, removed the glass assembly (broken), cleaned the loose glass out, laid the new glass assembly in place, replaced the panels and screws and slid the door on the hinges, removed the nails and closed the door. 35 minutes. Never did it before4. Part fit great! Thanks to partselect for having the discontinued part!

Removed the screws from the back of the oven to remove the damaged element; removed the electrical connectors and reattached to the new element and screwed it back in

In my 26 year old oven the screws to remove the element were extremely difficult to remove, but with 6-10 applications of Liquid Wrench and brute strength we finally did. We were a bit concerned with the insulation that was protruding but used electrical tape to secure the wires to the leads for good measure. All was successfull. I love my Jenn-Aire double oven!

Replace the oven sensor per the excelent easy video you provided

Watching the video of how to replace the sensor was great help and much appreciated, the only difference was that my wires were much shorter and I had to pull the oven out of the cabinet to get to the back of the oven to release the clip holding the wires together, unlike the video where the man jiggled the wires until the clip holding the wires together came through the little slot where the probe is attached, otherwise it was pretty simple, just a few extra steps to pull the oven forward to get to the rear to release the clip holding the wires together. Once I was able to release the clip I used one of the 2 adapters that was sent with the sensor probe and attached them after putting the wires through the hole where the probe was attached first then replaced the 2 screws that holds the sensor in place, slid the oven back in and turned the circuit breaker back on and it works perfectly. The video gave me the confidence to do this job though and I thank PartSelect very much for being a great company to help with videos and sending the parts so quickly.
