Parts for Maytag JMW8530DAQ28: 03 - Internal Oven Parts

Restore proper top heat to your oven with this broil element. It delivers the intense, even radiant heat needed for broiling, so foods brown and sear correctly when the original element fails or is damaged.

• Supplies high, direct heat from the top of the oven during Broil
• Common fix for no-broil or weak broiling performance
• Replace if the element is blistered, cracked, warped, or shows arcing
• Help resolve uneven browning or a tripped breaker caused by a shorted element

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Remove oven racks; unfasten the element's mounting screws and gently pull it forward
• Support and disconnect the wires; attach them to the new element and position it
• Secure the element, ensure connections are tight and clear of metal, then restore power and test

The bake element is the lower heating element inside an electric oven cavity. Replacing a failed element restores consistent baking performance, proper preheat times, and reliable temperature control.

• Provides the primary bottom-oven heat source used in Bake mode
• Common failure symptoms: no heat during bake or very slow preheating
• Oven may not reach set temperature or cook evenly
• Visible damage may include blistering, cracks, or breaks in the element sheath

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing and allow the oven to cool completely
• Remove oven racks for access; take a photo of wiring to aid reassembly
• Remove mounting screws, gently pull the element forward, and transfer wires one at a time to the new element
• Ensure the element sits level and clear of cavity walls; do not overtighten screws; restore power and test Bake

The Whirlpool screw is an OEM replacement part responsible for securing various components or parts on different types of Whirlpool appliances. The screw is designed to provide a secure and reliable fastening connection, ensuring that different parts of the appliance stay in place. It is commonly used in different locations within the appliance, such as the cabinet, panels, or other structural elements.

This part fixes the following symptoms:

• Loose or wobbly components within the appliance
• Panels or parts that are not securely attached
• Rattling or unusual noises due to loose parts
• Damaged or missing screw

The Whirlpool screw can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

A shoulder screw that secures appliance components and provides a precise pivot or spacer point. Replaces a missing or worn screw to restore alignment, reduce rattling, and keep panels and assemblies securely in place. What it does:

• Provides a fixed-diameter shoulder for pivots, spacers, or mounting points in assemblies.
• Holds panels and moving components at the correct distance to prevent binding or friction.
• A missing or worn shoulder screw can cause misalignment, rattling, or loose parts during operation.
• Used where a smooth-bearing surface and controlled clearance are required between parts.

• Disconnect power to the appliance (unplug or shut off breaker) before servicing.
• Handle small fasteners carefully to avoid dropping into assemblies; magnetic pickup tools can help.
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly but avoid overtightening.

This oven temperature sensor monitors the heat inside the oven cavity and sends precise readings to the control. A failing sensor can cause inaccurate temperatures, long preheat times, or error codes—replacing it restores consistent baking and roasting performance.

• Senses oven cavity temperature and feeds data to the control
• Helps correct issues like temperature inaccuracy and uneven baking
• Can trigger temperature-related error codes when failing

• Disconnect power to the range or wall oven before servicing
• Access is typically from inside the oven: remove racks and the two mounting screws, then gently pull the sensor to access the connector
• Do not yank the harness; support the connector to avoid pulling it into the cavity
• Handle the sensor tip carefully and avoid contaminating it with oils or cleaners
