CER3730AAH Magic Chef Range - Instructions

Easily removed the oven and had access to the rear in under a minute undid the 2 Phillips screws retaining the element and replaced with the new element I had ordered it was just so simple!

Thank you as you saved us calling out an expensive technician avoiding unreasonable time and costs expenditure

unscrewed element from oven, traded wire connections to new element, screwed new element in - saved myself a $75 service call

First I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires...) One of the wires came off before i was able to pull the element out far enough. I then had to take the back off (2 screws) The total repair took about 5 minutes

I removed the two screws that held the element bracket in place. I then pulled the element out a few inches and disconnected the wires. I then reconnected the wires to the new baking element, pushed the wires back inside the oven and resecured the bracket. NOTE: turn off the power to the oven! I thought that since the oven was not on, I could safely perform this replacement...unfortunately I got zapped.

1) Unplugged the electrical cord and removed the oven door (only when easy); and, jockeyed the oven into better working area.
2) Removed about 9 screws holding rear sheetmetal backing plate to disconnect each of 2 electrical wires from the old element.
3) Removed 2 screws holding element to back of oven and 2 screws from small bracket supporting end of element to top of oven.
4) Replacement element was severely damaged. It was at the very bottom of a box 20 by 15 by 15.5 inches high with the large continuous bubble wrap stacked only on top. Each of the wire ends were sharply bent; one almost 180 deg. pointing in the opposite direction, and the other about 120 deg. The element itself was about 4-5 inches out of square. Using two large needlenose pliers I carefully bent each wire back to its proper place. Next I carefully exerted pressure on the element to gradually form it back to as near its correct shape as possible. (Only the inside of the shipping box showed the signs of possible damage.)
5) Installation- The element, from inside the oven, was placed back through the two holes in the rear of the oven and secured with 2 screws.
6) The bracket supporting the front of the element was slid onto the element and attached to the top of the oven.
7) Attached the 2 electrical oven wires to the 2 element wires, making sure there was good clearance to prevent any short circuit, plugged the oven cord in to 230volts, and checked it out with power to the broiler to give myself some confidence that the damaged wires would not quickly break. It seemed to work and I unplugged the oven.
8) Reinstalled the backing plate with the original screws, plugged oven back in, and moved the oven back to its place and replaced its door. It is working and my wife is cooking.

First off, I ordered the part to be delivered 2-3 business days. I ordered this online on Sunday, so I figured it wouldn't show up until at the earliest on Thursday. We got it on Tuesday. Fantastic. Once I got it I pulled the range out and unplugged it. Next I removed the two screws holding the old element in place with a phillips screw driver. Pulling the old element out carefully I removed the two wires from either end. Next I attached the wired to the new element and screwed in place. Fast and easy! Plugged the range back in and we were cooking.

Shut off the power to the stove. Remove the two screws retaining coil
And simply pulled the coil out exposing the wire clips. The wires detach easily
Reconnected to the new coil, pushed the coil back in, reintalled the retainer screws and
Done. Time: ten minutes

easily pulled old seal out and push new seal in place simple and quick.

Very easy, with only the removal of 2 screws.

First I shut off the oven breaker, then I removed the racks and the oven door. I next removed the two retaining screws holding the element in place. I gently pulled the element forward to expose the blade connection. I disconnected the old element, attached the new element, slid it back into place and replaced the retaining screws. I remounted the door and turned the power back on. I did a test run on the oven. It worked perfectly.

repair was easy- turned off power at electrical box, emptied out the wire shelves in the oven. Unscrewed two fasteners holding element in place, pulled element out about 3 inches, unplugged electrical end connectors.
Then got new part, attached two electrical connectors, slid back in place, fastened with two screws, turned power on and we're baking. I believe this part would be covered under my warranty- but we were having a party that weekend and I could not wait for the repair guy to do this on his schedule, plus his labor alone would have cost much more than my part and next day delivery.

Ordered and received the terminal block. Installed it along with a new 220V power cord and the appropriate insulator . Ensured the terminals were tight with a nut driver. Reinstalled cover. Then, using the control panel, I did a function check on all the heating elements, clock, oven light, to satisfy all operational requirements. All checked good! And, I was relieved that the control panel had not been shorted out as the terminal block was due to a loose connection. Easy fix.

I ordered the part and it came in within 2 days from fedex! Great timing. It took me all of 10 minutes to fix the coil at the bottom of the oven. Fixed the problem and had plenty of time to cook dinner before my husband came home!!
GREAT SERVICE AT THIS SITE! They knew the right part! And the instructions are very simple.

Thank you

I've been trying to remove the bracket at the roof of upper oven so I can get to the broiler element itself. The screws are in place so tight, the won't move. I've used regular as well as ratchet screwdrivers and the screws still won't move. I don't want to spray WD 40 in oven because of a possible fire hazard, so I haven't changed out element yet. Tried calling customer service for advise, but to no avail. All other screws loosen easily. What should I do next.

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.
