Top-selling Maytag gas range replacement parts

• Oven door light switch. The oven door light switch is a plunger switch on the frame of the oven above the opening to the oven. The oven door pushes the oven light switch plunger in when the door is closed to turn the light off. When the door is open, the plunger is released and the light is on.
• Outer oven door glass panel. The outer oven door glass panel is the heat-resistant piece of glass that forms the outer part of the oven door.
• Oven door hinge. The hinges on an oven door control the rate at which the door opens and also allow the door to stay open at an angle. Hinges are usually installed in pairs so the hinges and tension springs match, ensuring the smooth operation of the door.
• Oven door lock assembly. The oven door lock assembly is a safety mechanism that prevents accidental burns and oven fires by latching the door shut during self-cleaning. The door unlocks when the oven cools to a safe temperature (usually less than 200 degrees F). It's also used on ovens with the child lock-out feature. The assembly includes the lock and switches that detect whether the door is locked.
• Spark igniter electrode. The spark igniter electrode provides an ignition spark to light a surface gas burner. It's an insulated electrode that sends a spark to the burner head when the spark module provides voltage. It sparks with a ticking sound when you turn the burner switch on a control knob to the Lite position.

What to do when a surface burner won't spark or ignite on your Maytag gas range

A surface burner igniter switch and a spark module activate the spark electrode when you turn the knob on a gas range's cooktop to the "light" position. If you don't hear the ticking sound of a spark jumping from the igniter electrode to the burner head when you start a burner, check the igniter electrode first. Clean the electrode if it's covered with spilled food. Replace the electrode if the ceramic insulation is broken.

If the electrode is okay, you may need to replace the igniter switch or spark module.
