Maytag Stove Repair in Philadelphia

Opening up a Maytag stove, the design shows where to look: Maytag gas stoves pair continuous grates with sealed burners on the cooktop, and the electric models use a glass top or coil elements.

A broken Maytag stove usually turns out to have faulty burner igniters, burner ports clogged by spills, receptacles for coil elements, or failed infinite switches. Put simply, the complaints are coil element cutting in and out, yellow or uneven gas flame, and clicking burner that will not light. When a coil element works on and off, the receptacle may be burned; with the power off, look for discoloration at the spot where the element plugs in. Clicking that continues after the burner lights usually means moisture on the switch or a failing spark module.

On coil-element stoves the receptacle is a frequent weak point: a loose connection scorches the terminal, and a new element will fail as well unless the receptacle is also replaced. Gas versions run into spill-soaked igniters and clogged ports. On an otherwise solid stove, these repairs cost little.

If you smell gas around a stove, leave the house without touching light switches and call PGW or 911 from outside before calling anyone else. Before quoting, we clean and dry the suspect igniter and try again; that alone solves plenty of no-light complaints.

Because Maytag parts travel through Whirlpool's distribution network, most are on hand within a day or two, and many share Whirlpool part numbers. For the faulty burner igniters, as for every repair, the price is agreed in writing first.

Keep the burner caps centered on the heads so the flame spreads evenly. We handle yellow or uneven gas flame on Maytag stoves all over Philadelphia, from rowhouse basements to Center City condos.
