MER8772WW1 Maytag Range - Instructions

This is a built-in oven, so the biggest problem was figuring out how to remove it from the cabinet. The solution turned out to be removing the cooktop above it and unscrewing two screws that connected the oven to the inside of the cabinet. The other problem was removing BOTH metal backs from the oven. The first one was easy. The second one wasn't. The old socket was recessed behind the second back, making it virtually impossible to access the metal "wings" that hold it in place, so I ended up pulling out the socket assembly from inside the oven with pliers.

changing the part itself was easy, but the sheet metal covering the whole back of the oven was difficult to remove because of some screws that were stripped. The new sensor solved the problem.

First removed 3 screws from top of door and the 3 bottom screws. To remove hinges there are 2 screws on the bottom ends remove those and then there is 1 in the center of hinge remove slide out old hinges and install new ones.The hinges have to be in the extended position I then put the needle nose pliers on the top end of hinge because they kept snapping shut before it engaged with the receptacle I put on one side when it was in I released the plier and it hooked I then proceeded to the opposite side it shouldn't have taken so long once I used the locking plier I was done in 10 minutes.

First, I received the element in two days. My local repair store said it would take them a minimum of 10 days to get the part. My husband replaced the element after watching the youtube "how to" video. He knew exactly what to do and did it in about 30 minutes. We were using the oven the next day. Thanks!

The feedback from other customers was excellent. It does come apart in layers, and it helped me to number each layer with a sticky note as I dismantled it. I also kept the screws for each layer right next to the layer, so that I knew how many screws each layer used. The only thing I can add is that the tabs to remove the innermost glass from the frame are on one of the shorter sides of the rectangular frame. The tabs are part of the frame, and when you bend them outward the side of the frame detaches and you can replace the glass easily. In addition to the #1 Philips screwdriver, all I needed was a pair of pliers to bend the tabs.

I watched a couple of online videos to determine what could be wrong with my oven and how to fix it. I ordered the part and it only took a half day to arrive at my door. After removing 3 screws in the panel on the bottom of the oven to expose the bake element, I pulled the element from the wiring. Even though I was careful, one of the wires slipped away and could not be fished back out. So I removed a few screws from the back of the oven, easily found the wire and connected it to the new element. It was a pretty easy fix that would have been even easier if the wire had not slipped into the back of the oven. I am a retired female, and I strongly recommend saving a chunk of money by doing this job yourself.

Just like the video showed. Removed the pan, removed the old element and installed the new. Just that simple.

Replaced Infinite control switch in just a few minutes. Unfortunately the new switch had a lose terminal that was not supposed to be in the switch that came from the factory that way. I connected the switch, turned it on, and it instantly shorted the switch out. At that point the lose terminal was real easy to see.

I purchased a new infinite control switch 6". and replace the old one.

Contrary to instructions(go thru front of oven) I had to pull out the range, remove two (2) screws from back chassis. At this point you pull out the connector, snap in new, reverse proceedure. Very simple. Hardest part is cleaning up debris generated by moving range.

My husband never got around to fixing it so I decided to try it myself. Repair video described it perfectly. Romove bottom panel covering baking element by taking out two screws at the back. Take 4 screws from bottom of the baking element; pull baking element loose from back. Attach new element to back and use needle nose pliers to squeeze connections together lightly. Replace screws. Then slide bottom panel back on top; attach screws at the back. Done!

Removed 2 screws from the cover with a nut driver found the element was broken. Installed new element by removing 2 screws and installed the new bake heating element. Most ovens do not have the cover like Maytag. The new part arrived 2 days after ordered the oven is working great.

Video instructions were perfect. Made the job a snap.

Easy change! Two screws in front and grounding strap screw-lifted out and turned stove top upside down on table. three more screws for burner element and then reinstall with first two screws and grounding strap screw.

After we got the part in the mail my husband put it on and shortened the wires and put new plugs on the ends of the wires and we had to get a new plug put it on and it was fixed.
