Richard B San Dimas , CA March 04, 2017 Continuous sparking and then a fire A few weeks back, when shutting off a burner, the igniter started sparking and wouldn't stop. Working the knobs and jiggling them got it to stop. Fast forward a few weeks. Finish cooking, go sit down to eat. Hear snapping noise, go look, see burners are all off and the igniters are all sparking. Jiggle the knobs. Poof! Flames come out the top one! What a stink. Unplugged stove, finished dinner. Loosened the cooktop and investigated. Ordered switch. Two days later, part arrives. Two screws loosen the controls from the stove top, two screws loosened the stove top, two screws loosed the back plate enough to snake my hand in to unplug things. Piece of cake repair. The switch just snaps onto the gas valve. I probably spent more time typing this than it took to replace the switch. None of the gas piping needed to be disturbed.

John B Melville , NY July 16, 2016 Appliance: Model MAYTAG GEMINI OVEN When i turned on the top gas burners the dials smoked and would not light the burners I removed a total of six screws, lifted up the top, and supported it. Then i removed all 4 old switch assembly, using only my hands, no tools needed. You have to remove the back panel, to connect the new wires, very easy, only 4 screws. Just look at where old wires are plugged in, and install, new ones in same spot. Put it all back, and it should work great. Very easy to do, total of maybe 20 min needed.
