MLZ8505ADH Maytag Cooktop - Instructions

I first switched the old burner to a new position and different ignitor wiring. The problem persisted in both places, so I bought a new burner assembly and now the burner lights immediately. Very happy and a very simple replacement.

First I removed the old burner head by twisting it counter clockwise by using wide channel lock pliers. When It completely came off, the burner head had deteriorated so much that it almost came apart. When I took off the 2 wires from the burner head it also easily came apart. The burner-head was in really bad condition. I cleaned the whole area and connected the 2 wires to the new burner head and hand tightened in a clokwise direcrtion. It took 20 minutes to install.

I was looking at replacing the stove and saw the $1200.00 price tag! So I found this web site and paid $100.00 to fix my old one. It was very simple. I twisted off the old burners by sliding off the two connecting wires. Cleaned the area around the seating area of the burners. Hooked the wires on the new burners and twisted them back in place! Tested them to insure that was the problem and was done! Thank you for saving me $1100.00!!! Next I am getting grates so the whole stove will look band new!

Turn off power then turn to take old burner out ,
disconect 2 wire , .
Connect electric wire with new burner press in then turn and clock . Turn power on then start stove
and check .

unscrewed old burner about a 1/4 turn counterclockwise. pulled old burner out. removed the 2 wires connected to the burner. attached said wires to new burner making sure to connect correct color wire to same post as old burner. put new burner back in stove and turned about a 1/4 turn clockwise.

Simple off/on installation.

So simple would be embarrassed to give any instructions; it is so self evident.

I ordered the two replacement burners. When they arrived I equipped myself with WD-40 spray, rubber mallet and a rubber gripper I used to use to open canning jars. Sprayed the WD-40 around the burner base and let it sit for 20 minutes. Made a mental note of the location of the sparker of the burner, to remember to put the new one in the same way. Gathered my courage and gently wacked the burner with the mallet all around it. Then grabbed the burner with the gripper and gave it a firm ¼ circle twist counter clockwise. It came apart with no problem. Disconnected the two electric wires by slipping them off their sockets. Removed all the loose rust and cleaned around the burner. Reconnected the wires with the new replacement burner and dropped it in its place. Wiggled it a little until it fit back into its original location and twisted it ¼ circle clockwise. Done, just saved myself the price of a new stove! Note: There is no need to shut off the main gas valve.

First I turned the burner head counter clockwise, lifted it out and pulled the connectors off. Then I connected the connectors back on the prongs of the new burner head and placed it back on the gas line and turned the burner head clockwise. I then turned the pilot light and and tested the connection. It worked without any problems. I then proceed to replace the second burner head using the same steps as on the first burner head.

I ordered the grommet... Didn't match the others ... But it fit on , and will do the job

Pulled cooking grate off, twisted burner head counter clockwise 1/8 of a turn, pulled up and out. Removed 2 connecting wires.put new burner head on in reverse order. Simple about 2 minutes including opening box.

Just pushed the new grommet into the hole. The grommet fit just fine and took about 10 seconds to install.

pull wire off of spark electrode unscrew old burner. screw on new burner attach wire to new spark electrode.

The new grommets were NOT the correct parts, too big, so there was no repair.
