Where can I get Maytag replacement parts?
You can get replacement parts for your Maytag electric range model 629 from Sears PartsDirect, which lets us match parts to your exact range and shop by symptom or part category. For the best fit, we recommend confirming the model number and then selecting the exact part listing.
Best places to buy Maytag range parts
- Sears PartsDirect: model-based lookup for Maytag range parts and diagrams
- Maytag/Whirlpool brand parts channels: good for OEM sourcing when you already know the exact part
- Appliance parts retailers: helpful when you have the part number and want to compare availability
- Local appliance repair shops: convenient if you want diagnosis plus part installation
- Major marketplaces: useful for hard-to-find items, but verify compatibility carefully
How to make sure you order the right part
Use these checks before you buy:
- Match the appliance model number exactly: 629
- Confirm the part name and identifier (when available)
- Compare the old part to the listing (terminals, mounting points, connectors)
- If the issue is a symptom (no heat, weak heat, light out), identify the most likely failed component first
- For electrical parts, shut off power at the breaker before inspecting wiring
Common Maytag range parts customers replace (examples)
| Symptom | Common part to check | Example part for model 629 |
|---|---|---|
| Oven not baking | Bake element | Range bake element WP74003019 |
| Burned power connection | Terminal block | Terminal block WPW10245259 |
| Oven light out | Bulb or cover | Oven bulb 8009 |
| Door not sealing | Door gasket | Door gasket WPW10162384 |
Why it matters
Ordering by exact model and exact part listing prevents returns and repeat repairs, especially on Maytag ranges where similar-looking elements, switches, and wiring parts can differ by terminal style and rating.

Where is the model number on a Maytag electric range?
On a Maytag electric range, we typically find the model number on a rating label around the oven door opening (door jamb) or on the frame behind the storage or warming drawer. On some ranges, it can also be on the back panel near the vent area.
Most common places to check
- Open the oven door and look along the left or right door jamb (the frame the door closes against)
- Pull out the bottom storage drawer and look on the frame behind it
- Check the back panel near the upper vent area
- Look along the side frame just behind the control panel area
- If the label is worn, use a flashlight and look for faint printed characters
Quick tips to find it faster
- Clean greasy buildup with a damp cloth first; labels can be hard to read when coated
- Write down the full model number exactly as shown (letters, numbers, and any dots)
- Also record the serial number; it helps match the correct Maytag parts
- Take a clear photo of the label before ordering parts
What the label usually looks like
| What you see | What it’s used for | Why you need it |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Identifies the exact range design | Ensures parts fit and wiring matches |
| Serial number | Identifies production run | Helps confirm compatible revisions |
| Electrical ratings | Voltage and amperage info | Helps with safe installation and diagnosis |
Why it matters
Maytag ranges can look similar across multiple versions, but surface element switches, the bake element, and even the terminal block can vary by model. Using the exact model number helps us match the correct replacement part the first time, such as the terminal block WPW10245259.

Why is my Maytag electric oven not heating up?
If your Maytag electric range model 629 isn’t heating, the most common causes are a tripped breaker, a failed bake element, or a temperature-sensing problem. Start with the power supply checks, then test the heating circuit parts and replace the failed component.
Quick checks first (fastest fixes)
- Make sure the range has full power; electric ovens typically need 240 VAC (one leg missing can leave lights working but no heat).
- Reset both house circuit breakers for the range (turn fully OFF, then ON).
- Confirm you are using Bake (not Delay Start, Sabbath mode, or a timed setting).
- Look for visible damage on the bake element: blisters, cracks, or burn spots.
- If the oven light is out too, check and replace the oven bulb 8009.
Parts that most often stop an electric oven from heating
When power is good, these are the usual suspects.
| Symptom | Most likely cause | What we do next |
|---|---|---|
| No bake heat, broil still works | Failed bake element | Replace the range bake element WP74003019 |
| No heat in bake or broil | Power supply issue or wiring | Check terminal block and cord connections; inspect the terminal block WPW10245259 |
| Oven heats but temperature is wrong | Temperature sensor or control issue | Test sensor resistance and wiring; replace sensor if out of range |
How we troubleshoot safely (basic DIY steps)
- Unplug the range or shut off the breaker before removing panels.
- Inspect wiring at the rear where the power cord connects; a loose or burned connection at the terminal block can prevent heating.
- If the bake element looks normal, test it with a multimeter for continuity; replace it if it reads open.
- If the element tests good, check the oven temperature sensor circuit and connections.
Why it matters
An oven that will not heat is usually a simple electrical failure (power supply, heating element, or connection). Fixing the root cause restores proper baking temperatures and helps prevent repeated part failures from overheating or loose wiring.

Are Maytag electric ranges any good?
Yes. Maytag electric ranges are a solid choice for most kitchens because they typically deliver strong heating performance, straightforward controls, and durable components. For the Maytag model 629 specifically, long-term satisfaction usually comes down to keeping key wear parts (like surface elements, switches, and door seals) in good condition.
What “good” looks like in day-to-day use
- Even baking and broiling when the bake element and temperature sensing system are working correctly.
- Responsive cooktop heating (radiant elements should cycle on and off normally).
- Tight oven door seal to hold heat and reduce long preheat times.
- Reliable indicator lights for hot surface and oven functions.
- Serviceable design; common parts are replaceable when they wear out.
Common issues that affect performance (and the parts that fix them)
If a range feels “not so good,” it is often a single failed component.
| Symptom | Most common cause | Example part for model 629 |
|---|---|---|
| Oven not heating or heats unevenly | Failed bake element | Range bake element WP74003019 |
| Door doesn’t seal, heat escapes | Worn door gasket | Door gasket WPW10162384 |
| Cooktop burner won’t regulate heat | Bad control switch | Range dual surface burner control switch WP74003122 |
| Oven light out | Burned-out bulb | Oven bulb 8009 |
Quick checks we recommend before replacing parts
- Confirm the range has proper power (a tripped breaker can leave you with partial heat).
- For oven issues, test Bake and Broil separately to narrow the problem.
- Inspect the bake element for blisters, cracks, or burn spots.
- Check that the oven door closes evenly and the gasket is not torn, flattened, or brittle.
- For cooktop problems, note whether the element heats at all or only on one setting.
Why it matters
A Maytag electric range can cook very well for years, but performance depends on heat retention and accurate heat control. Replacing a failed bake element, surface switch, or door gasket restores normal preheat time, temperature stability, and cooking results.
