Why is my Maytag gas oven not heating up?
If your Maytag MGR5750ADW gas oven is not heating, the most common cause is a weak or failed oven burner igniter that glows but does not pull enough current to open the gas valve. Start by confirming the bake settings and preheat steps in the owner's manual, then inspect and test the igniter.
Quick checks before replacing parts
- Confirm you selected Bake (not Broil) and set a temperature.
- Allow a normal preheat time; gas ovens often take 10 to 20 minutes to reach set temp.
- Make sure the oven vent and air intakes are not blocked (restricted airflow hurts burner performance).
- If the oven recently ran self-clean, wait for the oven to cool fully before testing anything.
- Watch the burner area during Bake: a healthy igniter typically glows bright and the burner lights shortly after.
Most likely failed part: oven burner igniter
A weak igniter can glow but still fail to open the gas safety valve, so the burner never lights and the oven stays cold.
What to do
- If the igniter does not glow at all during Bake, check wiring connections and the igniter.
- If it glows but the burner does not light within about 60 to 90 seconds, replace the igniter.
Recommended replacement for this model: igniter 74007498.
Other causes to consider
| Symptom | Likely cause | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| No heat on Bake or Broil | No power to range or control issue | Verify outlet/breaker; confirm display and controls respond |
| Burner lights sometimes, then quits | Gas supply or regulator issue | Confirm gas shutoff is fully open; check for consistent flame |
| Oven heats but temperature is off | Sensor/probe issue | Test/replace oven probe 12001655 if temps are consistently inaccurate |
| Strong gas smell without ignition | Ignition failure | Turn oven off, ventilate, then focus on igniter and burner lighting |
Why it matters
A weak igniter is the top reason a gas oven will not heat because the safety valve is designed to stay closed unless the igniter draws the correct current. Replacing the igniter restores reliable burner ignition and normal preheat.

How to reset Maytag gas oven?
To reset the oven controls on your Maytag MGR5750ADW gas freestanding range, clear the control first (press CANCEL). If the control is beeping or showing a fault code, disconnect power for a few minutes, then restore power to reboot the control board. See the exact control and fault-code steps in the owner's manual.
Quick reset options (most common)
- Stop a cooking cycle: press CANCEL once.
- Clear a fault code that’s beeping: press CANCEL.
- Hard reset (power reboot): turn the range power OFF at the breaker (or unplug if accessible), wait 2 to 5 minutes, then turn power back on.
- If beeping returns after reboot: stop using the oven and contact Sears PartsDirect support.
If the display says “F” plus a number
The MGR5750ADW uses fault codes (for example, an “F” followed by a number). The standard reset sequence is:
- Press CANCEL.
- If the code and beeping continue, disconnect power for a few minutes.
- Restore power and check operation.
What to do next if it still will not heat
A “reset” fixes control glitches; it will not fix a failed heating ignition system. If the oven will not heat after a reset, common causes include a weak oven igniter or a gas control issue.
| Symptom | Most likely direction | Parts that often apply |
|---|---|---|
| No heat; no ignition glow | Electrical or control issue | wiring, control, switch |
| Igniter glows but burner will not light or is slow | Weak igniter | Igniter 74007498 |
| Burner lights but temperature is inaccurate | Sensor/temperature feedback | Oven probe 12001655 |
Why it matters
Resetting clears temporary control errors and stops nuisance beeping. If a fault code returns quickly, it points to an underlying problem (ignition, sensor, wiring, or gas control) that a reset cannot correct.

What do the numbers MGR5750ADW mean?
On a Maytag gas freestanding range, MGR5750ADW is the model number that identifies the exact design series and feature set for your appliance. We use it to match the correct parts list, diagrams, and specifications for your range; it is not a “code” with a universal consumer meaning.
What each section typically indicates
Manufacturers use model numbers as internal identifiers. For Maytag ranges like MGR5750ADW, the characters generally break down like this:
- M: Maytag brand identifier
- GR: gas range product family
- 5750: series or feature package within that family
- ADW: design revision and finish/color code used for ordering the correct cosmetic and functional parts
For the exact interpretation Maytag used for your unit, check the identification section in the owner's manual.
Where to find the model and serial number on this range
Your range’s model and serial number are printed on the data plate. On MGR5750ADW, the manual indicates it is located on the storage drawer frame.
- Pull out the storage drawer and look along the frame area
- Record both the model number and serial number
- Keep the numbers with your purchase paperwork for future reference
Why it matters when ordering parts
Using the full model number prevents ordering a part that looks similar but will not fit or work correctly.
| What you’re doing | What to use | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Buying replacement parts | Full model number: MGR5750ADW | Matches the correct diagrams and revisions |
| Troubleshooting symptoms | Model + symptom | Narrows likely causes and compatible parts |
| Checking fit for cosmetic parts | Model + revision suffix (like ADW) | Ensures color/trim and mounting match |
Common parts that depend on the exact model
Even small model-number differences can change which components fit.
- Oven ignition parts such as the igniter 74007498
- Cooktop ignition parts such as the range surface burner igniter 74004053
- Temperature sensing parts such as the oven probe 12001655
Why it matters
Model numbers are how we ensure you get parts that fit your Maytag range correctly, especially for ignition, gas control, and oven temperature components where compatibility is critical.

How to tell if a gas oven igniter is bad?
On your Maytag MGR5750ADW gas freestanding range, a bad oven igniter usually shows up as very slow preheating or an oven burner that will not light even though the control is set. If the igniter is weak, it may glow but still not pull enough current to open the gas valve; use the owner's manual for model-specific access and safety notes.
Common signs the igniter is failing
- Oven takes much longer than normal to preheat.
- Burner does not light, or lights late with a sudden “whoosh.”
- You smell gas briefly but the burner does not ignite (turn the oven OFF right away).
- Igniter looks damaged (cracks, chips) or is heavily soiled.
- Oven heat is inconsistent because the burner cycles poorly.
Quick checks you can do safely
Before checking anything, let the range cool and avoid touching hot or sharp surfaces.
- Confirm the range has power (the igniter needs electricity even though the oven is gas).
- If you are checking surface burners, make sure the ignitor is dry and clicking; the manual notes a burner may not light if the ignitor is damaged, soiled, or wet.
- Look for debris in burner/ignition ports; clogged ports can mimic igniter failure.
- If you recently moved the range or serviced it, follow the manual guidance to check for gas leaks after any reconnection.
Test results that point to replacement
A technician-style test is an amp draw test with a clamp meter while the igniter is glowing.
| What you observe | What it usually means | Typical next step |
|---|---|---|
| Igniter never glows | No power to igniter, open igniter, wiring/control issue | Verify power and wiring; replace igniter if open |
| Igniter glows but burner never lights | Weak igniter not opening gas valve | Replace igniter |
| Burner lights after a long delay | Igniter is weakening | Replace igniter before it fails completely |
If you’re replacing the oven igniter for this model, match it to the correct part; the igniter 74007498 is a common oven burner igniter used on this range.
Why it matters
A weak igniter can cause delayed ignition, poor baking performance, and repeated no-heat situations. Replacing it restores normal burner ignition timing and more consistent oven temperatures.
