Maytag Electric stove burner not working
When your Maytag electric stove burner is not working, start with the surface element switch. This switch sends voltage to the surface element, and you can test the diagnosis by swapping the element with another burner of the same size. If the problem follows the switch or the element still does not heat, the surface element switch may need replacement. When two or more burners stop working at the same time, a failed surface element board is more likely because its relays regulate power to the burners. If only one burner is affected, test the element for continuity with a multimeter. Also check that the range receives the required 220 volts of incoming power. A loose, damaged, or burned-out coil or radiant surface element can cause a coil burner not working, while a radiant surface element may fail like a light bulb and lose continuity. Inspect the socket and element before replacing parts. Enter your Maytag range model number to find the exact replacement surface element switch, surface element board, coil or radiant surface element, or radiant element for your specific electric stove.

02 - Maytag Range/Stove/Oven Surface Element Switch
The surface element switch sends voltage to the surface element coil. If the switch is defective, the surface element will not work. If there is another element of the same size on the stove, try switching the elements. If the surface element still doesn’t work, the surface element switch is likely defective. The surface element switch cannot be tested or repaired—if you suspect the switch is defective, replace it.

03 - Maytag Range/Stove/Oven Surface Element Board
The surface element board has relays that regulate the power supply to the burners. If one or more of the relays fails, the surface element won’t work. If two or more burners fail at the same time, this indicates that the surface element board is likely at fault. If only one surface element won’t work, use a multimeter to test the element for continuity. If the surface element has continuity, the surface element board might be defective.

04 - Incoming Power Problem
It is possible that the range is not receiving proper voltage. Electric ranges require 220 volts of alternating current. If the range is receiving significantly less voltage, the surface element won’t work. To determine if the electrical outlet has sufficient voltage, use a multimeter to test the incoming power at the wall socket.

05 - Maytag Range/Stove/Oven Coil Surface Element
First, make sure that the element is pushed all the way into the socket. Second, inspect the surface element for damage. If the element appears to be damaged, replace it. Lastly, use a multimeter to test the surface element for continuity. If the surface element does not have continuity, replace it.

06 - Maytag Range/Stove/Oven Radiant Surface Element
The most common cause when the surface element won't work is the radiant surface element itself. The radiant surface element - or heating element - can burn out similar to a light bulb. If the surface element won't work and it doesn't have continuity, it will need to be replaced. The radiant surface element is not repairable.
