Broken Thermostat Knob
After ordering 3 or 4 different knobs for replacement, I found the one I needed. I did not have the oven model number at first...now everything is working fine. No tools, just push the knob into place. Thanks!

The oven control know wore out.
I purchased a knob that I was hoping might fit properly.
Unfortunately I did not find anything that matched the knob we had originally. We use the knob that I purchased to turn the oven on and off, but the shaft channel is much longer than the shaft on the stove, so the knob sits high above the other knobs. I wish that I could find a knob to accommodate the
shaft on the stove. I have considered purchasing an addition kinob and trying to saw off part of the shaft if the plastic can be shortened without shattering.

igniter failed to ignite
Replaced the igniter by removing 2 screws, pulling on the wires to pull the connector in from the back thru the oval opening, screwing in the the new element, reconnecting the wires, pushing the connector back and that did it.

Igniter Would Glow But Stove Wouldn't Light
I noticed that the ignitor would glow but the stove wouldn't light - I got the model number of the stove and googled the maytag model number. Came upon your website and realized that 94% of the time the problem was the amps were not enough to light the stove. I looked at all of the stories on how easy it was to fix. I ordered the part and received it within 3 days. I opened the door part way and lifted it straight up to remove it. I pulled out the bottom broiler plate by grabbing the back on pulling up. I undscrewed the wing nut of the flame bar and had easy access to the igniter. I removed the two nuts from the old igniter. Unplugged the igniter from the easy access door from the back and plugged in the new igniter. Replaced the access door and attached the igniter with the two nuts. Put the flame bar back on, put the broiler plate back on, put the door back on, plugged in the stove turned it on and success. It was so easy. I know in our area I would have paid near $200 for a service technician to come out and do what I did in approx. 20 Minutes and $50 for the part. Thank you so much for you website to help us not so talented appliance repair homeowners.

Knob numbers were almost all rubbed off
I ordered the correct corresponding knob through PartSelect online. It came in the mail within a week. All I did was take it out of the bag and replaced the old knob with the new knob. It fit on the exact same shaft.
