Touch Panel
I need to replace the front touch panel on Maytag oven, some buttons work, and some don’t. Any Idea?

How difficult is it to replace the panel?
Thanks

Is the panel the type where each button is a little bubble or indention, and when you push it you feel a little click, then the button returns to normal?
If so, these touch pads are pretty simple. The button covers are plastic with an electrical contact pad made in each one, sort of like cell phone buttons. Dirt can build up in them and stop the switch from making contact.
If you can take the front of the panel off, you may be able to take off the plastic cover and clean the inside as well as the switch to get it working again. Make sure you unplug of turn the power off to the oven before you begin to work on it.
I see this a lot in houses with cockroach problems, since the roaches will find their way into the panel and die or leave waste in the switch that stops the contacts from connecting.
