David January 17, 2019 I purchased a light assembly for my oven and I can't get the lens off because it is so tight. Can I use a strap wrench to loosen the lens. The part # is 7407p182-60
1 Answer David, it would not be recommended to use a strap wrench on the lens as it can cause the lens to break. The lenses can get "stuck" in place but they will come out. While removing the lens, it is recommended to use glove to protect your hands in case the lens does break during removal. Read More...
Gerogio May 29, 2015 for Model Number W131W I watched the video for replacing the oven wall socket. However, I have a wall oven. Is it possible to replace the light socket without removing the wall oven from the wall? Looking inside the oven, I cannot see the "clips" he talks about pressing to release the socket. How does one get the socket out working from the front? I bought part 7407P182-60 as specified. Your help would really be appreciated. Thanks.
1 Answer Gerogio, You will need to pull the wall oven out in order to replace the light socket on this unit. Read More...
Mike May 10, 2014 for Model Number CRE8700DDE The original light socket is held in by two screws and is no longer available from the manufacture. I've cross referenced to 7407P182-60. The new one uses tabs to hold in place. Does this still work as a solution?
1 Answer Hello Mike! No, part number WP7407P182-60 is not a replacement listed for the original light bulb receptacle used on your model. The receptacle listed for the model that uses screws to install is part number 74003125. Unfortunately, this item 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...
Charles R January 05, 2013 for Model Number j9855vuv What would make the bulbs continue to blow? Mine have not been lasting but about a month. Please advise
1 Answer Hello Charles, You would want to check power coming to the light bulb to make sure that you are not getting a high voltage reading to the socket. There should only be 120 vac coming to the bulb. Also make sure that you using an approved bulb for ovens. Read More...
Kb July 03, 2012 for Model Number 3468XVW My light socket assembly on the above model looks like it has an additional electrical connection on the body of the assembly. There are the two push connectors on the back and what looks like a third closer to where the light bulb actually screws in. Any thoughts on this? My replacement part only has the two push style connectors on the back of the assembly.
1 Answer KB, The third "lug" was for an external ground, that is no longer required,the receptacle is grounded to the chassis by the spring clips on the metal housing circumference. It's also grounded through an internai "jumper" by thee white wire that attaches to one of the existing lugs. Once you install it and attach the wires you'll be fine. Thanks Read More...
Mel February 24, 2012 for Model Number CWE9000BCE Maytag Oven Do you have any helpful tips for removing the old lamp assembly to replace with our new Part # AP4101776?
1 Answer Hello Mel. Of course before you start, turn the breaker off to the unit (or unplug the unit). I use an offset screwdriver 210122 and bend the tabs up to remove. This takes a lot less time than removing the back and as long as you keep a hold of the wires, eliminates the need to even move the unit out from the wall. Hope this helped you! Read More...
Mel S. February 15, 2012 for Model Number CWE9000BCE Maytag Oven - Part # Part Number: AP4101776 Is this easily installed by owner? Does it simply push into socket or are there wires to be connected?
1 Answer Hello Mel. The lamp assembly WP7407P182-60 does just push into place once the old one has been removed. You will need to remove the wires from the old one and put them onto the new lamp assembly. This is not hard to replace. Hope this helps. Read More...
