MGC5430BDS20 Maytag Cooktop - Instructions

3 of the 4 burner knobs were broken. Finding the burner knobs on PartsSelect.com. was easy. What sold me on purchasing them were the pictures including a closeup of the back connection and the description of the make of appliance they'd fit. I ordered them Friday and they arrived the next day (standard shipping) on Saturday. Pretty amazing since I'd been putting it off for 6 months.

I simply took off the old knobs and replaced them with the new ones I ordered from you. They were exact replacements and cheaper than your competitors. You sent them quickly.
The experience can't be any better than that.

Piece of cake. Knobs were slip on / slip off. Searched the Partselect website using the model number of the cooktop... presto.

Removed old knobs and replaced with new knobs. Thank You

I ordered a full replacement for the five knobs so that the other four wouldn't look like they were dull due to being older. Took less than a minute to replace the items.

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!

Received the burner cap, placed on the burner to complete the installation.

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.

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

Put the new knob on

I just placed the knob on the burner control and pushed it in place. It was a really easy process. And thanks to you it was much cheaper ordering the part and putting it together myself than calling the repairman to order it, waiting for the part to come in and then making a service call to install it.

1. Apply gas pipe joint sealer to treaded nipple on bottom of cooktop; 2. Install regulator on nipple with regulator direction arrow pointing to top of cooktop; 3. Tighten but do not overtighten as it may crack the aluminum body regulator; 4. Make sure the face of the regulator with the green painted surface faces the outside of the cabinet; 5. Get a new gas flex hose to connect to gas pipe (got mine at Lowe's - 2 feet long with all the right fittings for about $15). 6. Follow instructions on gas flex hose - make sure you use gas pipe joint sealer only where indicated; 7. Turn gas shutoff valve back on and test for leaks using soapy water; 8. Turn on each cooktop burner to bleed out air.

The repair was so easily done, my grandson could have put the knobs on. I was so excited when the knobs arrived, I could not wait to put them on. I was like a little girl in a candy shop. Thank you very much!!
