Hi, Most wall ovens are hard wired to a 30/40/50 Amp 220V-AC circuit. Please refer to the installation instructions that are provided with the unit for all the specs and dimensional details for installing the wiring junction box.

The best thing you can do is to provide an extra 5-6' of the appropriate sized gauge wire at the oven location, so the installing electrician can have enough to properly connect and locate the junction box or directly connect to the wall oven's built in junction box.

If you don't have the installation instructions, please contact Maytag at the following link to obtain a free installation guide for your particular oven.

You can also contact them by phone, as your model appears to be an older model, from what I could determine with the partial model number.

Maytag customer support can be reached by calling them toll free at 1-866-616-2601

Hope you find this Very Helpful and best regards!

Your oven needs to be hard wired to a junction box. No plugs on a oven that pulls 30 or more amps 220v Read your install book that came with the oven.

Maytag CWE5800ACE oven "not working"

Could be in the oven switch , get a voltmeter and trace it through till you find the fault , it could cost a fortune if you just keep throwing parts at it . that is not the way to repair things , find the fault first .

If I have a double 30 amp breaker can I plug in a cooker that needs 208 volts single phase, the plug and wall receptacle match

no
the house wiring for single phase outlets is rated to 10 amps and what you intend to do will burn the wiring
you will have to install a dedicated circuit that is capable of carrying the full 30 0 amps
contact an accredited electrician for correct advice and how to do it

I just bought a maytag 24 inch double oven.it is 240 volt and i need to know if i need to put a 3 wire or 4 wire for the power

I trust that your voltage system in your house is 240 volt. The number of wires or the size of the wiring will depend purely on the kilowatt rating of the oven. Normally on a 240 volt system a 3 wire 32 amp circuit will generally be used on ovens/ranges up to at least 6.0 kilowatt. If you need more information please reply.

Which plug you use depends more on the outlet in your house than the oven usually. If This is a new oven with digital controls, 4 is preferable (I've seen a digital dryer blow the boards because a 3-wire lost it's ground) but if the outlet is 3, you don't have much choice but to go with 3 unless you rewire the outlet back to the fuse/breaker box. As long as it's in good condition, 3 should work fine.

We purchased our oven used, so we don't know much about it. We think, by looking at pictures, that it is a Maytag CWE5800ACE however, we can not find the model number on the oven. We know where it is...

Here is a web site for most of the parts for your unit:
