MGC5536BDB Maytag Cooktop - Instructions

Simple as a dimple. Over time the plastic connections have gotten cracked or broken all together. Why they don't make them out of stainless is beyond me. Make more money, duh! Anyway, old off new ones one. Nothing else. This company speedy delivery - ordered Friday received Saturday. Thanks!

First I drilled out the screws on the burner as they were fused. I opened the stove top cover to access the underside of the burner. Removed the orifice holder, by disconnecting the gas line with a line Wrench and the electric cord.

The trick is to be careful with the gas line. Also when you go to replace the orifice holder you will notice that the holes are not threaded. The metal is soft and you're supposed to just screw the screws into the holes and let them bite into the metal. Then you reattach the gas on the electric and put the stove top back together.

I simply took off the broken one and replaced it with the new one

Not much to share. Once I figured out the model number and the right color, just popped them on.

R&R. Couldn't be easier. Lift and push. Just do it straight or the knob shaft will fracture.

I pulled off the old and replaced with the new.

after I received the cap in the mail, I removed the grillwork and set the cap in place. then replaced the grill and my wife fixed my supper.

A very simple repair.
I inserted the brackets and screwed them in position

replacement harness was an exact replacement except the connector for the supply side. the cook top had a female spade connector and the new harness had a female single pin connector. i had to replace the connector on the harness.

I shorted out the igniter assembly snd called a recommended repairman. He came over and called the appliance warehouse he deals with and they quoted him $169.00 for the part with 15 to 20 working days for delivery. He told me it will be a total of $300.00 to repair. After he left I checked on your website and found the part and ordered it. It took 2 days for delivery and was less than $30.00. After reading your simple instructions it took less than 30 min to repair. I took the screws holding the burners off and raised the burner assembly. I removed the old ignitor assembly and installed the new. The lead attachments were different so I cut and spliced the old attachment onto the new. Easy.

cut off terminals and replaced with the right size one's stove lights every time now wlrowe

had to put the old knob back on

The trickiest part was locating the elusive spark module. I am not certain I took the best route, but not considering all the wrong routes in trial and error, it was the most expedient. Certainly there must have been a single something to remove to get to this frequently faulted part..

Anyhow, thanks to the great part, the stove works really well again.

First step is to turn gas off to cook top and also disconnect power to the unit. Than using a crescent wrench disconnect the gas line going to the unit from the Regulator. Than again using the crescent wrench disconnect the regulator from the bottom of the unit. Next remove the nipple that connects the gas line to the regulator from the old unit. Apply new pipe dope to the threads and screw it into the new one and tighten down. Next install the regulator to the unit and install the gas line to the regulator. once done with the install you can now plug the unit in and turn on the gas. You are now ready to use the cook top again

removed rear cover where the spark module was and change it
