Montgomery Wards Stove/oven controls don't work
When your Montgomery Wards stove or oven controls are not working, a damaged or stripped control knob is the most likely cause. The timer knob must grip and turn the timer stem, while the thermostat knob must engage the thermostat stem. If either knob is cracked, worn, or slipping, the control will not respond even though the timer or thermostat itself may be fine. A selector knob, control knob, or other stove knob can fail in the same way if it no longer turns the switch or valve stem. This can make the stove controls not work, leave the oven controls not working, or cause the control panel to seem unresponsive. Check each knob for cracks, missing splines, or a loose fit before replacing an internal part. If the problem started after a power outage or surge, turn the range off at the breaker or unplug it for a few minutes, then restore power. Enter your Montgomery Wards model number to find the exact replacement timer knob, thermostat knob, selector knob, or control knob for your range, stove, or oven.
