Diana T. November 15, 2014 for Model Number CRE980000ACB The oven in my Maytag electric range is about 150 degrees too cool. How do I know if the bake coil needs to be replaced or if it's something else? Should I just replace the coil and see if that solves the problem? Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Diana, First check the breaker by flipping it off and back on since half of the breaker can trip and only supply the unit with 120Vac instead of the required 240Vac. If this is not the issue and it has been established that 240Vac is getting to the unit, there are only three components in the circuit. The element, the high limit thermostat, and the control board. This can be pinpointed by turning off the power to the unit, pull the bake element and remove one wire from it. If the power is now turned back on and a test meter on about the 200Vac scale is used, there should be 120Vac on the wire and on the element terminal the wire was removed from. If the element side has no voltage on it, test the opposite side of the element to ground. If there is 120Vac there, the element WP74003019 is the issue. If not, either the high limit 7403P160-60, (no longer available from the manufacturer), the control 7601P224-60, (also no longer available), or the associated wiring is the source of the issue.

Hal September 01, 2014 for Model Number 9875XYYB I need the bake element (part # AP4093115) with a male connector. What part # should I order? Magic Chef Model # 9875XYB.
Connie July 27, 2014 for Model Number 103.9426700 My dad is 86 years old and he has a very old kenmore range, the bake element broke in half and he wants to replace it but they no longer make the part. Do you know if a similar bake element will work, he really wants to keep this range if all possible. Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Connie. Unfortunately, the oven bake element listed for your model, part number 4328956, has been discontinued with no further replacements or cross references available and our company is unaware of any other available sources. Sorry about that! Read More...
Ben June 23, 2014 for Model Number RF396PXYN Hello, My bake element broke, I bought the correct replacement and installed it correctly. When I turned the power back on and go to the stove, nothing turns on. No clock, No stove top burner nor the oven. When I turn on one of the stove top burners, It reads PF for power failure and does not heat up. Only when I have the stove top burner on can I attempt to turn on the oven. It does read bake and I hear the clicking but it won't heat up. Then when I turned off the stove top burner, everything goes off and it's dead. Is my control panel fried? If so, please tell me the replacement part. Much appreciated.
1 Answer Hello Ben, I would go to the terminal block WP8203546 where the power cord connects to the range and look for a poor electrical connection. Check it for 240Vac from the two outside terminals. If no poor connections are located, unplug the unit and look on the prongs of the plug for burned spots. If you locate any, the wall outlet is loose and will need to be replaced. If the cord prongs are discolored and the insulative material around the base of the prongs is dis-figured, (look like it has been melted), the cord will also need to be replaced. If no issues are located, try another breaker in the breaker box before proceeding to unit dis-assembly or part replacement. Read More...
Tom February 12, 2014 for Model Number CHE9800BCE The oven did not heat and the fan did not run so I replaced the bake element and temp sensor. After this, the fan ran when bake was selected but the temperature only slowly elevated(20 min to get to 175) and the bake element does not heat. Is there an additional control that will prevent the bake element from operating properly or what?
1 Answer Hello Tom. Make sure the voltage to the unit is good. If so, the control board 12001607 is bad. The control board has been permanently discontinued by the manufacturer and we don't know of any source or replacement for the part. Read More...
Alex February 09, 2014 for Model Number 8114P396-60 Lower heating element broke on this unit (front end completely snapped off). Which part do I need? Also, the oven light went out at the same time. Will replacing the heating element fix this? The electric range is still working as usual. Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Alex. The model number provided is not correct. We will need your model number to help you with this. Please call 1-877-477-7278 or post your model number with a new question on the parts page. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx Read More...
Sandy January 21, 2014 for Model Number Magic Chef 3521 XRW Was using the broiler the other day. Turned the switch from Broiler to Off and heard a loud popping noise (saw some smoke out of the back). Now nothing will turn on (no time, no stovetop, no oven). Did trip the main fuse in the house, but that's been reset and still not working. What do we need to replace?
1 Answer Hello Sandy. Check and see if the thermostat WP7404P105-60 fried in the unit and needs to be replaced. Read More...
Adrian January 11, 2014 for Model Number 3862VVV Thought the baking element had burnt out but once element was removed, found the wiring was corroded and connector broken. Where to get this wire set?
1 Answer Hello Adrian. You will need to cut and splice and repair the wires in the unit. The harness needed is no longer available. Read More...
Richard December 15, 2013 for Model Number LER3330AAZ Clock is blank and the cooking elements only work.
1 Answer Hello Richard. If there is power to the clock assembly and it does not work, you will need to replace the clock assembly 5701M760-60 on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
