If your Maytag stove or oven controls are not working, start with the control knobs before replacing an internal component. A cracked or stripped timer knob is the most likely cause when the timer knob slips on the stem instead of engaging and turning it. Next, inspect the thermostat knob, selector knob, control knob, or another stove knob for the same damage. Each knob must grip and rotate its matching thermostat stem, selector switch stem, timer stem, switch, or gas valve stem to operate the control. If the knob turns freely without changing the setting, replacing the correct Maytag replacement knob should restore operation. A recent power surge or outage can also affect the controls, so turn the range off at the circuit breaker or unplug it for a few minutes, then restore power and test it again. This troubleshooting applies whether the oven controls are not working, the stove controls are not working, or an oven button appears unresponsive. Enter your Maytag range, stove, or oven model number to find the exact timer knob, thermostat knob, selector knob, or control knob for your appliance.
