I have a Maytag aqualift 6.2cf range glass top. The dual burners in the front turn red very quickly even on low. Can you help me?
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Vicki, Thank you for your question. If the dual burners at the front of the cooktop are set on a low setting and they instead go to a high setting, then the issue is with the burner switches and they will need to be replaced. The part number listed under your model number for the burner switch is PS11754687. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

The oven is taking a longer time to reach the set temperature after we replaced the oven sensor.
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Carlos, thank you for contacting us. Ensure the sensor is not touching the oven's interior walls. If it makes contact with the metal casing, it will measure the wall's temperature instead of the air, causing the oven to cycle heat incorrectly. It should be at a 90-degree angle to the back wall. A loose or corroded modular connector can cause high resistance, tricking the control board into thinking the oven is hotter than it is and shutting the elements off early. We hope this information helps!

Hello, I replaced the oven sensor. The oven took 45 minutes to preheat. The display showed 350 degrees, the oven never got to the desired temperature inside the oven. The display still showed it was at 350 degrees
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Carlos, thank you for getting in touch. If replacing the sensor did not help, we would suggest checking the main control board, part number PS11756979. It acts as the brain of the unit, using internal relays to switch power on and off to the heating elements. If these relays are burnt or stuck, the board may believe it is heating the oven and update the display to 350°F based on a timer, even if it has never actually sent electricity to the coils. You may need to replace it. We hope this sorts out your problem!

temperature not accurate after 3 1/2 years of happy usage

Opened up the back of the stove. Unpluged the sensor. Replaced the sensor. Replace the back of the stove.

The sensor that has been replaced is not what is expected. After reading all of the instructions for adjusting the temperatures, the only temp that stays steady is when we first turn on the oven to 350 degrees. That stays s teady but when I turn it to 400 it slowly goes up to 425 degrees.

First, we turned on broil and the upper element turned orange and obviously worked. We figured the bottom element went out. The diagram on this site showed a bottom heating element that looked nothing like ours, but after reading other reviews, and reading that part that goes through the back of the oven was in the middle, and not off to the side, we ordered this element. It was perfect. All you have to do is unplug the oven, take out the bottom pan covering the element by removing 2 screws in the back, remove the lower small cover on the back of the oven and then unplug the old element, unscrew the old element on the inside of the stove, then install the new element and put everything back like it was. Nothing to it. It worked like a charm and my oven now heats up fast again. Easiest appliance repair job ever!
