Description
700064 Maytag Range/Stove/Oven Temperature Control Thermostat
The part number 700064 refers to a Maytag Oven Temperature Control Thermostat, a crucial safety and regulating component that senses internal oven heat, often a non-OEM replacement for various Maytag models, helping ensure accurate baking by preventing overheating; if your oven isn’t heating right or is overheating, this part (or its sensor/thermistor counterpart) likely needs checking or replacing, usually requiring power disconnection and removal from behind the control panel or oven cavity.
What it does:
- It monitors the oven’s internal temperature and signals the control board to turn heating elements on/off.
- It’s a safety device (high-limit thermostat) preventing excessive heat, protecting components and reducing fire risk.
Symptoms of a Faulty Thermostat:
- Oven doesn’t heat at all.
- Inconsistent or uneven cooking temperatures.
- Oven overcooks or won’t reach set temp.
How to Find & Replace:
- Identify Your Model: Use your specific Maytag range model number (not just the part number) to find an exact fit.
- Safety First: Disconnect all power (unplug or turn off breaker) and gas supply.
- Locate: Often found behind the control panel or inside the oven cavity, usually secured with screws.
- Replace: Disconnect wires, remove old part, connect new one, and reassemble.
