We installed the new top on our Maytag Gemini oven. For some reason the casing for the 4 indicator lights does not seem to snap into place. Is there some trick required to snap it into place?

Shep,

I'm not aware of any changes in the part, though it has been substituted several times.

What seems to be wrong ?

The bracket too small or too large ?

You're sure you have the switch properly installed (in the proper orientation)?

Is this the part you orderred and recieved

Part number: AP4397009
Part number: AP4397009


Here are the insructions from the service manual, so you can review the process.


Hot SurfaceLight

The Gemini Range is equipped with a Hot
Surface Light. This red light will turn on to
indicate that the cooking area is hot and will
remain on until the area has cooled.
The switch is located in the front center of
the burner box, and may be accessed by
removing the main top.

To Access Hot Surface Light:
1. Disconnect the appliance from power
source before servicing.

2. Open oven door and remove the screws
securing the main top to the frame.
3. Slide the top forward and disconnect the
wire harness.
4. Lift the top off and lay on a protected
surface with under side up.
5. Release the tabs securing the switch to
the top. Once the tabs are released the
switch can be removed.

6. Reverse procedure to replace.

Please, let us know what you find or if you need further assistance.

:) :) :)

Thanks. The lights are working properly, but the box housing them did not feel very secure. We'll open to top and try to find the tabs (we may have inadvertantly forced it out of the old top).

Shep,

OK,

Hopefully, you'll be able to repair the tabs or secure the light box to the mounting bracket, otherwise, you'll need to order a new light box assembly.

Good Luck,

:) :) :)
