How to Replace the Ignitor Switch on a Maytag MGR6875ADS Gas Stove

The Maytag MGR6875ADS is a freestanding gas stove that typically has five sealed burners. When the ignitor switch malfunctions, the stove cannot work properly and will need to be replaced. Fortunately, replacing the switch is a relatively simple process you can do yourself with a few common tools. However, trying to repair the gas stove yourself may void the manufacturers’ warranty. Before repairing your Maytag gas stove, refer to the appliance’s warranty.
