Maytag Cooktop Parts

This is the oven bottom panel. It forms the floor of the oven cavity above the burner or heat source, helping protect internal components and provide an even, easy-to-clean surface for baking and roasting.

• Shields the burner/heat source and directs heat within the oven cavity
• Provides a stable surface for cookware and catches drips/spills
• Common fix when the oven floor is warped, rusted, stained, or damaged
• Helps if you notice hot spots, smoke from baked-on spills, or difficulty cleaning the oven floor

• Disconnect power and allow the oven to cool completely before service
• Remove oven racks; release any hold-down screws/clips securing the panel
• Lift out the old panel and set the new panel flat and fully seated
• Reinstall fasteners and racks; test for proper fit before use

This surface burner head distributes gas to the flame on a gas cooktop or range burner. Replacing a worn or clogged head helps restore even flame, reliable ignition, and consistent heat on the affected burner.

• Channels gas from the orifice through burner ports to create a uniform flame pattern under the cap
• Works with the spark electrode to ignite the gas
• A damaged or clogged head can cause: burner won't light or only clicks; uneven/yellow flame; weak or low heat on that burner
• Carbon buildup or corrosion on the head can lead to delayed ignition

• Disconnect power and shut off gas; allow the surface to cool completely
• Remove the burner cap; take off the old head and retain any mounting screws
• Align the new head over the orifice and spark electrode; seat flat and secure
• Clean burner ports and cap before testing for a steady, blue flame

This rocker switch controls the exhaust function on the appliance's ventilation system. It restores reliable on/off control of the blower when the original switch becomes worn, sticks, or fails. What it does:

• Provides on/off control for the exhaust/blower circuit
• Replaces a faulty or intermittent rocker that prevents the vent from operating correctly
• Helps address symptoms such as blower won't start, won't shut off, or only works when the switch is jiggled
• Restores proper tactile feel if the old switch is loose, cracked, or stuck

• 1 rocker switch

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Access the control panel and note wire positions or take a clear photo
• Transfer wires one at a time to the new switch; ensure terminals are fully seated—do not pull on the wires
• Reassemble panels, restore power, and test exhaust operation

This infinite switch controls the power level to a surface burner on an electric range or cooktop, allowing smooth, variable heat settings. Replacing a failed switch restores precise temperature control and reliable burner shutoff.

• Regulates power cycling to a surface element for low, medium, and high heat levels
• Common failure symptoms: burner won't heat, only heats on high, won't turn off, or fluctuates/uneven heat
• Mounts behind the control knob and controls a single surface burner
• Restores consistent heat selection and responsive knob control

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Pull off the knob and access the switch from the control panel
• Note wire positions or take a photo; transfer wires one at a time to the new switch
• Secure the switch, reinstall panels/knob, and test burner operation

These black burner caps sit atop the burner heads on your gas range or cooktop to shape the flame and shield the burner. Replacing worn or missing caps helps restore even flames, dependable ignition, and a clean finished look. What it does:

• Shapes and distributes the flame for consistent cooking performance
• Helps protect the burner head from spills and debris
• Provides proper spacing for reliable ignition when seated correctly
• Common signs of failure: chips/warping, uneven or yellow flames, or a burner that's hard to light

• Turn all burners off and allow the surface to cool completely
• Clean and dry the burner head and cap; residue or moisture can hinder ignition
• Center the cap so it sits flush and level; misalignment can cause clicking or weak flame
• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply

This natural-gas burner orifice spud meters the correct fuel flow for a 15,000-BTU surface burner. Replacing a clogged, damaged, or wrong-size orifice restores proper flame size, cleaner combustion, and reliable cooktop performance. What it does:

• Meters gas through a calibrated opening to the burner head for correct flame height
• Sized for a 15,000-BTU surface burner using natural gas
• Installs in the orifice holder/valve body beneath the burner
• Typical symptoms of a faulty or mismatched orifice: weak/small flames, yellow/sooty flames, uneven heating, delayed ignition, burner won't reach high heat

• 1 natural-gas 15,000-BTU orifice spud

• Shut off gas supply and disconnect power; allow all burners to cool completely
• Remove grates, caps, and burner heads; lift the top or access the orifice holder as required
• Match each orifice to the correct burner location by BTU rating; do not overtighten
• After reassembly, check all connections for leaks with a non-corrosive soap solution and verify proper flame color/size

• For natural gas applications only; use the correct LP/propane orifice when converting fuel types

This bake element is the lower-oven heating source that brings your range or wall oven up to temperature for consistent baking. Replace a burned or damaged element to restore reliable preheat and even cooking results. What it does:

• Provides bottom heat during bake cycles for even, consistent cooking
• Primary heat source for preheating and maintaining set temperature
• Common symptoms: no heat in bake, slow preheat, won't reach temperature, uneven baking, visible blisters/breaks on the element
• Useful clue: broil works but bake does not

• 1 bake element

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Remove racks; take out element mounting screws; pull element forward to access terminals
• Transfer wires one at a time and ensure tight, insulated connections; don't let wires retract into the cavity
• After reassembly, run a brief bake test to verify operation and clear any residual smoke from first heat-up

This surface burner ignition switch with protective shield mounts on the gas valve stem. When you turn the knob, it closes the circuit to the spark module to ignite the burner and the shield helps protect the switch from spills. What it does:

• Triggers the spark module to create a spark when the surface burner knob is turned
• Shield helps protect the switch from moisture, grease, and heat
• Typical symptoms of a failed switch: no spark, intermittent sparking, or continuous clicking
• One switch is used per burner valve; replace only the failed switch(es)

• 1 ignition switch with protective shield

• Disconnect electrical power and shut off gas supply before servicing
• Pull the knob straight off and remove the control/manifold panel to access the switch
• Transfer wires one at a time to the new switch; align on the valve stem and position the shield correctly
• Reassemble, restore power and gas, and verify proper spark at each burner

This lid switch actuator engages the washer's safety switch when the lid is closed so cycles can start and spin as designed. Replace a broken or missing actuator to restore proper lid switch engagement and reliable operation.

• Engages the lid switch when the lid is closed to enable agitation and spin
• A worn, cracked, or missing actuator can cause the washer not to start or to stop before spin
• Intermittent operation that changes when pressing on the lid often indicates misalignment
• Lack of an audible "click" from the lid switch can point to a faulty actuator or alignment

• Disconnect power before servicing; do not work on a live appliance
• Access the lid/switch area per your model's service procedure
• Remove the damaged actuator and install the new part, securing as designed
• Before reassembly, close the lid to ensure the switch clicks and engages properly
