Robert S Bennett , WI January 23, 2016 Appliance: Model KITCHEN-AID DUEL FUEL KDRS505X00 Burner control valve was stuck on Replaced complete manifold. Decided to change manifold because one of the other valves was starting to bind and cost wasn't much more for manifold versus one valve. Fairly easy to do. Just make sure you use leak detection fluid after to check that your connection is not leaking. Had to remove top to get at spark wiring connector under rear area of cover. Also be careful of sharp edges on metal cover. On this appliance you can hold the start button for 5 seconds and the gas valve shuts off ( same as if the power goes off). Read the operators manual. When done check that all the burners work proper and gas shuts off.

Edward J Freehold , NJ February 05, 2016 Appliance: Maytag 30`` Electric Freestanding Self Clean Range Convection MGT8885XW00 One of the five surface vavle burners on cooktop maytag oven needed to be replaced Without taking apart the top of the cooktop with all the burners i just replaced the bad one which happened to be on the extreme left. it was difficult as i had little space to work with but a couple of 13 mm wrenches got it going and i did it.instead of ordering a single burner for $71 ,i got the manifold with 5 burners attached and removed one. i now have an inventory of 4 more! I thought the price difference was crazy!!! i paid 114 for the manifold. the problem with replacing the manifold was that the top of the stove needs to be removed and some of the screws have disintegrated and have to be drilled out? replacing just the bad valve that froze after 5 years was something i could do myself.i searched the internet, maytag etc and only your site had a picture of the manifold so that i knew i was ordering the right part. it took 4 days but that included a weekend so that was ok with the fed ex tracking updates etc. you guys are great!!! it took over an hr because i was careful and also cleaned the floor after moving the stove away from the wall etc. Read More... 2 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 1-2 hours Tools: Screwdrivers, Wrench Set
Clayton W Collierville , TN April 12, 2017 Appliance: KitchenAid Gas Range KGRS505XSS00 Left front burner on cooktop was inoperative Since that one valve was $86 I opted to replace the whole manifold assembly for a grand total around $200. It took less than 30 minutes to complete the task. Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes Tools: Pliers, Screwdrivers, Wrench Set

Michael J Mentor-On-The-Lake , OH April 11, 2019 One of the burner valves failed I purchased the entire manifold rather than a single replacement valve. Prompt delivery! I swapped out the bad valve with one from the manifold. Pretty straightforward if you are somewhat mechanically inclined. Took an hour or so, but much of that time was spent cleaning parts while they were disassembled. The manifold has 4 more valves should any others fail. Cheaper and faster than had I called the repairman and set up an appointment (with their 4 hr arrival window). Read More...
