Maytag MGC6430 Gas Cooktop - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

YOU MAY HAVE A BAD INFINITE SWITCH AND AS THEY ARE WIRED IN SERIES THE OTHERS WILL NOT WORK , BUT ONE SWITCH MAY WORK. DEPENDING ON ORDER OF WIRING. YOU MAY ALSO WANT TO CHECK THE WIRE HARNESS AS IT MAY BE BAD.

Depends on model-call maker and ask if there is a glass replacement for stove top.

The manifold valves can be purchased separately.
Part numbers are;
74004634
74004635

Your gas inlet valves are turned up to high or there is air in your system. Most of the time the burners are set either to high or to low. Meaning that not enough or to much gas pressure is being forced through the system.

othing Works, or the Oven / Range / Stovetop Works Only At Certain Times: 1. Home breaker flipped or the fuse blown? Possibly an electrical surge has flipped the breaker. Check your breaker or fuse box and replace or reset as necessary. 2. Power cord plugged in? Grab the plug and wiggle to determine a good connection. 3. Power cord damage? Damaged rubber with wires showing through or the wire is being pinched can cause issues. Electrical tape is acceptable for covering damaged wires. 4. A clicking sound could be something wrong with a relay. Check for any loose connections around the main control board on your oven. The click you hear is a relay losing power and switching back on. If the clock resets then something is causing power interruptions to the board. 5. 6. Even a bad relay door switch will hinder your oven from operating. If your oven has internal fuses, a wiring or component problem could have caused a fuse to blow. A blown fuse is an indication that a component has shorted or failed, and the problem will need to be corrected. Most ovens that use fuses will have an indication of the circuits that are affected by a particular fuse. If an oven fuse has blown, then you should inspect the oven element and the associated wiring to determine the cause before replacing the fuse ++++ Oven Control Board The oven control board has a set of relays that turn on and off power to the bake and broil circuits according to the customer settings and sensor input. If the oven won't turn off it could be that one of the relays on the oven control board is shorted closed, providing voltage to the heating circuit. It can be dangerous if the oven won't turn off. Don't leave the oven unattended without turning off power to the oven. Relay board: Some ovens are equipped with a relay board. This circuit board has several relays which control the switching of electrical current to the oven heat source. If the oven won't turn off it may be that one or more of the relays on the relay board have failed. If this happens replace the relay board. The relays on the board are not sold separately. ALSO CHECK THE BAKE AND BROIL ELEMENT.

Go to your electrical panel and check the circuit breakers. If one is tripped it will be in a halfway position. switch off then on. If it keeps tripping you may have to call a repair man.

First it could be leaking from the control knob when it is on . There could be a leak at the base off the burner letting out gas or on the burner line . You need to get back on to your installer or where you purchased the cook top . This basic gas fitting leak detection .

Sure. The wiring harness can be repaired or replaced as well as any damaged components.

Tammy have you checked the circuit breaker at the electrical panel of your home. Do the panel lights come on? If they do and the rest is off then it will need service.

call or e-mail the company or the manufactor they can help.

You will need to replace the display assembly, the oven control board is part of it and it is burned out.

Hi,
You have a bad ignitor to your oven. Part number you should replace is 12400035. This should fix this problem. Just because it glows does not mean it work correctly, it works off of the flow of electricity rather then the glow of the ignitor.

Good Luck I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/gere_bf68e6055dd61249

is it gas?
if it is gas i would strongly suspect the spark module

Hello, Thank You for using FixYa. I will be helping you today. Did you clean the cook top or spill something? If the switches get wet they will click untill it drys out. If not then one of the switches failed and would need to be replaced. Its the switch that sits on the burner valve.
Thank You and please ACCEPT my answer and Rate my answer if it was helpful..

Hello, Did you clean the cooktop recently? Sometimes water or cleaner can get into the spark switch causing it to spark untill it dries out. The same if a boiling pot spills. If none of those happened one of the burner switches is bad.

Hi,

Here is a tip that I wrote about why the hot surface indicator light will not go out...

Oven Hot Surface Indicator Light stays on

In that case the air-gas mixture is off or flows very slowly. Try to light it up with a match - if you can't then you will have to adjust the mixture from the burners by moving the sleeves. If you can light it up but the flame is very weak then the pressure regulator has failed and it must be replaced.
In either case i recommend that you call a pro, if you can't do a perfectly safe job don't touch it - you don't want a gas leak in your house.

It is unfortunately impossible to find this manual, especially the repair manual. The manufacturer has been gone for decades. The only chance of finding one would be if someone happened to have one lying around in their garage. I am so sorry about this, you may need to just replace the unit. These very very obscure ovens even at the time, so the chances of finding what you are looking for, or even finding someone that can work on the oven will be next to impossible.

I am so sorry about that, but there is no way anyone here can find this information.
