Maytag Cooktop Switch

This right-side burner switch controls heat output on the cooktop so burners respond correctly to your knob settings. It restores proper power and temperature control for a single right-side heating element. What it does:

• Replaces a worn or faulty right burner control to restore variable heat settings
• Enables proper on/off function and temperature regulation for the right cooktop element
• Commonly used when a burner won't heat, only works at certain settings, or cycles unexpectedly
• Works with ranges that use a separate switch for the right front/right rear heating element

• Disconnect power at the breaker before attempting any repair to avoid shock
• Handle wiring terminals carefully; verify connections match the original before reassembly
• Use proper tools and avoid overtightening mounting hardware to prevent damage

For switch mounting nut, order part# WP422617.

This burner switch controls the power and heat settings for a surface cooking element, restoring reliable on/off operation, accurate temperature selection, and consistent element cycling on compatible electric ranges. What it does

• Regulates electrical power to a surface burner so the element heats to selected settings and cycles to maintain temperature.
• Replaces a worn or failed switch that causes a burner to not heat, not respond to knob changes, or only work on certain settings.
• Stops intermittent operation or arcing at the switch caused by worn contacts.
• Helps resolve a burner that stays on or will not turn on when the switch is faulty.

• Always disconnect power at the breaker before starting any repair to avoid shock.
• Photograph and/or label wires before removal so you can reconnect terminals correctly.
• Handle terminals gently and ensure secure, tight connections; replace any damaged wiring or connectors.
• Test the range on all heat settings after installation; if you see arcing, burning smell, or continued malfunction, cut power.

Replacement burner switch that controls the heat level for an electric range surface element, restoring proper temperature selection and burner responsiveness. Use this switch when a burner is unresponsive, stuck at one setting, or heats erratically. What it does:

• Regulates power to a surface element so you can select low-to-high heat settings.
• Replaces a failed surface control switch that prevents burners from changing temperature.
• Common symptoms it can fix: burner won't heat, stuck on one setting, no click/response, or inconsistent heat.
• Works as the control interface between the knob and the element on compatible electric ranges.

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the range before starting any repair.
• Photograph or label wires before removal and match terminals exactly when installing the replacement.
• Use insulated tools and avoid contact with live terminals; restore power only after reassembly.

This ignition switch controls spark to a gas range burner so burners light reliably when a knob is turned. Replaces a worn or failed switch to restore normal ignition and consistent burner operation. What it does:

• Sends the electrical spark signal to the burner igniter when the control knob is turned
• Allows the range to ignite burners; a failed switch can prevent sparks and burner ignition
• Works with the range's safety/ignition system to enable proper start-up sequencing
• Helps eliminate intermittent sparking or no-spark symptoms linked to a faulty switch

• Disconnect power and turn off the gas supply before beginning service
• Basic hand tools required; access may require removing the cooktop or control panel
• Handle electrical connections carefully and restore grounding; follow manufacturer instructions

This genuine replacement wire harness connects and routes power and signal lines between appliance components, restoring reliable electrical communication for normal operation and control response. What it does:

• Replaces damaged or frayed wiring that can interrupt power or signals
• Restores reliable connections between controls, motors, and sensors
• Helps resolve intermittent operation, loss of certain functions, or failure to start when caused by wiring faults
• Provides factory-style connectors and routing for secure, vibration-resistant connections

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repairs
• Handle connectors carefully; match connector shapes and colors to the original
• Route the harness as the OEM diagram specifies and secure with clips or ties to prevent chafing

This control switch is the user-facing rotary selector that lets the appliance select cycles and settings. It restores clear, tactile control so the unit responds correctly when you turn the knob. What it does:

• Selects operating cycles and settings when the knob is turned
• Routes electrical signals from the control panel to the selected function
• Commonly replaced when settings do not change or the control feels loose/slips
• Resolves intermittent or unresponsive cycle selection and erratic behavior

• Disconnect power before attempting any repair to avoid electrical shock
• Accessible from the control panel; remove trim or console as needed per your model's service instructions
• Test function after reassembly; do not force the selector or use excessive torque

Ignitor switches with harness

This infinite switch controls the heat level of an electric cooktop surface burner, restoring variable temperature control for cooking. It replaces a failed or erratic burner control to help burners heat evenly and respond to the knob. What it does:

• Regulates current to a surface heating element so the burner cycles between power levels
• Restores adjustable heat when a burner stays on one setting, won't heat, or heats intermittently
• Replaces a worn or damaged control that causes inconsistent burner performance
• Works with the cooktop's control knob to provide stepped power levels for cooking
