| dmcallister918's Full Review: Maytag Gemini MGR6772BDS Stainless Steel Gas Range |
4/9/2007. My Maytag Gemini gas range was new in 2004. About 2 months ago, the spark igniters for the range top began staying on even after all of the burner controls were turned off. By working the controls back and forth, I could eventually get the igniters to stop.
The last time this happened and I worked the controls back and forth, I could hear arcing and smoke started billowing out of the stove top. Now, the front two burner controls do not work. If I turn them, I can hear arcing.
Even thought there is a recall listed for Gemini ranges on the Consumer Products Safety Commision website, my range is not covered. I found this out when I called the recall hotline given on CPSC website. The person aswering the phone told me I could call another number to report the problem, meaning I should do her work for her.
Regardless of the warranty, I think a range this expensive should last more than three years. It looks like I am stuck with paying for expensive repairs.
