AER5515RCW Amana Range - Instructions

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

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.

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....

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.

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.

Removed frame to cabinet lag screws
Slid oven out of cabinet (required because wire harness could not be pulled through inside of oven)
Removed two screws holding attaching sensor inside oven
Uncoupled wire harness
Installed new sensor in reverse order

Unfortunately, neither the new bake element or sensor fixed the problem, so I just ordered the more expensive control board -- hope that does it.

Husband got on partselect.com and read reviews, we ordered a long oven sensor kit. When it came in the mail, I took it out and look at it, decided I could probably switch the part.... and so I did. Easy Breezy ... and it worked well

My husband took the plastic cover off and took out old bulb and screwed in the new one. Then put the cover back on.

i simply followed your instructions,so easy my wife could have done it with her pink screwdriver!!! thanks for your help.

Control panel was responsive however oven would not heat up. I Replaced sensor with one of the adapters and oven is now working again.

I slide the oven out from the counter and unpluged it. I removed all the oven racks. I then removed the machine screws that held the sheet metal that covered the back of the unit. This made it a lot easier to disconnect the long oven sensor wire and put the wire through the insulation. I removed the two screws on the inside of the oven that held the sensor onto the inside rear wall of the oven. The old sensor did not test too bad but the temperature is reaching the set temperature. I still had to adjust the oven temp up ten degrees using the control panel. I have learned that it takes a few cycles of the element going off and on during the warming to reach the desired set temperature. One more issue is that the buzzer goes off signaling that the set temperature has been reached when it has not. When I set it for 350 F the buzzerr goes off at 280 F and I have a good oven thermometer. I own three oven thermometers and they all read the same. We use to have nothing but Maytag appliances but no more. We have had issues with Maytag front loading washers and ranges. PartSelect is great. Good prices and fast delivery.

very easy

Screwed in light bulb and glass protector

Removed two screws, unplugged the old unit, plugged in the new, screwed the new in. Job done. Would have been less than five minutes if I hadn't kept dropping the screws.

Removed the rear covering plate, removed four small screws that held the clock mechanism in place, pulled the four color coded connections, slipped the color coded connections onto the new part, replaced the four screws, finally replaced the rear covering plate. Simple. The delivery of the part was the fastest delivery I have ever experienced. I'll keep PartSelect in my favorites.
