MGC5536BDB22 Maytag Cooktop - Instructions

3 of the 4 burner knobs were broken. Finding the burner knobs on PartsSelect.com. was easy. What sold me on purchasing them were the pictures including a closeup of the back connection and the description of the make of appliance they'd fit. I ordered them Friday and they arrived the next day (standard shipping) on Saturday. Pretty amazing since I'd been putting it off for 6 months.

I simply took off the old knobs and replaced them with the new ones I ordered from you. They were exact replacements and cheaper than your competitors. You sent them quickly.
The experience can't be any better than that.

Piece of cake. Knobs were slip on / slip off. Searched the Partselect website using the model number of the cooktop... presto.

Removed old knobs and replaced with new knobs. Thank You

I ordered a full replacement for the five knobs so that the other four wouldn't look like they were dull due to being older. Took less than a minute to replace the items.

Simple as a dimple. Over time the plastic connections have gotten cracked or broken all together. Why they don't make them out of stainless is beyond me. Make more money, duh! Anyway, old off new ones one. Nothing else. This company speedy delivery - ordered Friday received Saturday. Thanks!

First I drilled out the screws on the burner as they were fused. I opened the stove top cover to access the underside of the burner. Removed the orifice holder, by disconnecting the gas line with a line Wrench and the electric cord.

The trick is to be careful with the gas line. Also when you go to replace the orifice holder you will notice that the holes are not threaded. The metal is soft and you're supposed to just screw the screws into the holes and let them bite into the metal. Then you reattach the gas on the electric and put the stove top back together.

I pulled off the old and replaced with the new.

R&R. Couldn't be easier. Lift and push. Just do it straight or the knob shaft will fracture.

I simply took off the broken one and replaced it with the new one

Not much to share. Once I figured out the model number and the right color, just popped them on.

had to put the old knob back on

First step is to turn gas off to cook top and also disconnect power to the unit. Than using a crescent wrench disconnect the gas line going to the unit from the Regulator. Than again using the crescent wrench disconnect the regulator from the bottom of the unit. Next remove the nipple that connects the gas line to the regulator from the old unit. Apply new pipe dope to the threads and screw it into the new one and tighten down. Next install the regulator to the unit and install the gas line to the regulator. once done with the install you can now plug the unit in and turn on the gas. You are now ready to use the cook top again

Took 5 seconds to replace these items! Shpping of the items was amazingly fast..2 days and we were back to new!
