gas burner ignitor failure
Lift out sealed burner assembly rear of stove first while careully sliding to rear to disengage ignitor probes.Remove philips head screws from bottom sheet metal housing to expose bottom of burners Remove gas tube assembly screws and move tube away carefully.Unplug wires from ignitor.Remove screws for ignitor .Remove ignitor, I noticed that rust and dirt had built up around burner to pan connection.I used my oil filter wrench to turn slightly the burner to remove it from the pan to clean.Reassembled in reverse order.
I replaced the broken grommets with the new ones. I purchased 8 so I would have back ups because I did not feel the new one would last either. I think they cost TOO MUCH but I could not haggle for price.
burner would not light; ignitor did not produce spark
Take a few screws off the back of the slide in burner module. Take off the back. Unscrew the ignitor screw, remove ignitor carefully, replace with the new ignitor, put the screw back in, put the back back on, try it out! Ours worked after a couple of tries - don't know if the ignitor had to "rev up" by several sparks or we just didn't have it properly installed at first. Anyway, very easy. Did it in my pajamas on a Saturday morning.
Sealed burner caps were rusted within and gas leak through the bottom of the caps
Just used a car oil filter band type wrench and rotated the sealed burner cap a 1/4 turn. cleaned up the rust and dirty. Replaced it with the new cap and tightened it with a 1/4 turn by hand. Instruction can be found on Maytag gas installation manual. The burners are working well and just like a new range.
With a family of five a needed an extra oven rack as my RV oven is very small. After much aggravation between calling and going online to the manufacturer I still could not get any help. Even with locating the all important parts number. I was just about to give up when I was surfing around and found this website. Wow! What a relief! Not only did you show my where to find the part number, but I ordered it and got it within days. I spent more time on hold and online with the manufacturers customer service than anything else. From now on, no matter what I need, whether RV or home, I'm going staright to PartSelect. Thank You and my family thanks you too, as we wil be camping on Turkey Day and now I'll be able to get all the meal done at once! Happy Thanksgiving! God Bless
The burner igniter would not spark to light the burner.
I had to unscrew 4 screws on the burner unit and then 2 screws on each igniter. slip the olds out and the new ones in and then replace all the screws. And wa la they sparked and I was cooking again.
I removed the stove top over the burners. Then I Opened the oven door and removed the shelf and then the bottom tray. It had to be pushed back against springs and lifted up. If it does not lift, hit the front of the tray in an upward motion with the heal of your hand. The lets you access the oven burner area. I removed the wingnut from the metal deflector over the burner and removed it. Now you have access to the pilot assembly. remove two acrews ans save them. Go back to the top and with a wrench, remove the caps that hold the tubes to the oven valve. Be sure the gas is turned off at the propane tank, now remove the main gas line from the stove valve system. Now remove the four screws along the sides of the oven top. This will allow the oven to slide out enough to reach the back where a plastic clamp is holding the two tubes attached to the pilot. These will need to be pulled toward the back of the stove as you pull the pilot assemble out the from of the oven. Once you have worked the old pilot assembly out, install the new one in reverse order. Reconnect all the tubing nice and snug, after pushing the oven back into place. After you get everything back together, before you light up, use leak detector fluid to be sure you don't have a gas leak. Before you even order parts though, you should try to adjust the pilot flame if it is very small. It should be at least 1/4" high. 1/8" is not enough to heat the thermocupler. I had to drill a hole thru the front of the stove in the location of the pilot adjustment because Magic Chef drilled the hole in the wrong place. I ended up doing this after the new pilot assembly did not correct the problem. David Calif.
pilot light would not stay on after releasing the "pilot lite" light knob
First I turned off the propane tanks.
I then removed the two stove racks on the top of the stove and removed the metal cover surrounding the burner elements.
Next I detached the gas line and quickly inserted the temporary plug (supplied with stove) to stop the left over gas from entering the camper.
I then removed the two lower screws at the base of the stove just below the oven door and the two screws at the top rear of the stove securing the stove .
I now removed the stove.
Next I detached the pilot element from inside the oven and from the opposite end at the top of the stove at the burner area.
Now I replaced the element with the new one and replaced the stove all in the reverse order.
Replaced the pilot and tubing, this is a RV stove and oven. The easiest way to replace it was to pull the stove slightly away from the wall as the tubing had a securing strap to the back stove wall which had to be removed to get the pilot tubing removed and the new put in. That was the most time consuming. Anyone with some handyman capability can do this job quite easily. If you use part of the old end of the tube connection at the pilot as I did make sure that you insert the new small pin hole restricter (my term).
just turn the burners counter clock wise with the help of a jar opener pad. unplug the wire connectors and replace the burners no hassle, no problem. Everything went fine… one thing though, it is not the same color as it was before. I didn’t realize it until opening the box. Previous color was grey. My wife is Ok with it, so I won’t complain, but maybe you should add the color option if there is more than one choice.
Even though the ceramic insulator looked new (white), it had become non-functional, replacement was simple, 2 phillips screws, reassemble and test. Now I will have to order the other 3.
Unplugged the burner heads from the wires, and simply put the wires on the new burner heads and put back onto the stove,. Simple as pie. Very happy that i found parts select online, easy to find the part though your pictures and easy to order. Loved being able to do this myself without a middle man. Very satisfied!
