James G Rocky Hill , CT November 01, 2020 Appliance: Maytag Electric Cooktop MEC7430WB00 Infinite heat switch defective. Simple 10 minute swap out. Power off the cook top, removed the knob and rubber seal, used a small phillips screwdriver to remove the 2 screws securing the switch, removed access cover below and pulled the defective switch out, replace the gasket on the new switch and reconnect the wires. Position the new switch in the panel noting that the D shape must be oriented correctly and secure the 2 phillips screws. Re-attatch the access panel, replace the rubber seal and knob. Power the cook top up. Worked perfectly. Read More... 2 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes Tools: Nut Drivers, Screwdrivers
David Q Marietta , GA January 13, 2020 Appliance: Model MAYTAG / WHIRLPOOL The left rear switch was shorted and a knob was bad I replaced the switch and the knob using only a screwdriver type handheld multi-tool. My friend had called me on 24 December because his cooktop was tripping the breaker. Since I was out of town and could not get over there, he came over to my house to use my cooktop and all went well. Just before New Year’s Day 2020 I went over and diagnosed the problem. Then over the next couple of days discovered appliance parts pros and ordered the part that was delivered Jan 10. I went over and replaced the switch, replaced the knob and all went well.
