Maytag MGR5750BDW gas freestanding range Parts

On a Maytag MGR5750BDW gas range, a bad oven igniter usually shows up as a no-heat or slow-heat oven: the igniter may not glow at all, or it glows but the burner never lights (or takes longer than about 60 to 90 seconds to ignite).

Quick checks you can do safely

• Set the oven to Bake and watch through the broiler drawer opening or oven bottom access (if visible) for igniter glow.
• Listen and look for burner ignition within about 60 to 90 seconds after the igniter starts glowing.
• If the igniter never glows, suspect the igniter, wiring, or control.
• If the igniter glows but the burner does not light (or lights very late), the igniter is the most common cause.
• If the burner lights but the flame is weak or goes out, suspect gas supply or a gas valve issue.

What the symptoms usually mean

What you see	Most likely cause	What to do next
No glow at all	Failed igniter, loose/burned wire, control not sending power	Inspect wiring and connections; replace igniter if wiring is intact
Glows, but no flame	Weak igniter (not drawing enough current)	Replace the igniter
Glows, flame lights after 2+ minutes	Weak igniter	Replace the igniter
Flame starts then shuts off	Gas valve or flame sensing issue	Check burner flame pattern and gas supply; consider valve diagnosis

Parts that commonly fix “oven won’t heat” on this model

• Igniter 74007498 (oven burner hot surface igniter)
• Range gas control valve WP74006427 (opens gas flow to the oven burner when commanded)
• Oven sensor 12001655 (reports oven temperature to the control)

Why it matters

A weak igniter can glow and still fail to open the gas valve quickly. That causes long preheat times, temperature swings, and intermittent baking performance.

If you smell gas

Turn the oven off, do not try repeated ignitions, ventilate the area, and have the range checked before further use.

Yes. Maytag gas ranges (including model MGR5750BDW) are generally a solid choice for everyday cooking because they are built around straightforward gas burner and oven systems that are practical to maintain with replaceable parts when normal wear shows up.

What “good” usually means for a gas range

A gas freestanding range is typically considered “good” when it delivers consistent burner ignition, stable oven heat, and reasonable long-term serviceability.

Common strengths many owners look for:

• Responsive cooktop heat for sautéing and simmering
• Simple ignition system that is easy to diagnose when a burner will not light
• Serviceable oven heating (bake and broil) with common wear parts
• Parts availability for routine repairs over the life of the range

What to check when evaluating your MGR5750BDW

Even a good range can feel “bad” if a few key items are worn, dirty, or out of adjustment.

Start with these practical checks:

• Burner caps seated correctly and ports clear of spills
• Burner igniters clicking and sparking consistently
• Oven preheat time and temperature stability (no big swings)
• Door seal condition (heat loss can mimic weak baking)
• Gas smell, weak flames, or soot (signs of airflow or gas supply issues)

Parts that commonly affect performance

If performance is slipping, these are common repair paths on the Maytag MGR5750BDW:

Symptom	Often involved part	What it impacts
Oven will not heat or heats slowly	Igniter 74007498	Lights the oven burner so it can heat
Oven temperature seems off	Oven sensor 12001655	Tells the control how hot the oven is
Surface burner will not spark	Range surface burner igniter 74004053	Creates spark to light the burner

Why it matters

A “good” range is one you can cook on confidently and keep running without replacing the whole appliance. With a gas range like the Maytag MGR5750BDW, cleaning and a few common part replacements often restore strong performance.

If your Maytag MGR5750BDW gas range oven will not ignite, the most common cause is a weak oven burner igniter that glows but does not draw enough current to open the gas safety valve. Replacing the igniter 74007498 typically restores normal ignition.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Confirm the range has power (the igniter needs electricity even though the oven is gas).
• Set Bake and watch the igniter: it should glow bright within 30 to 90 seconds.
• Listen and smell carefully: no gas sound or odor usually points to an igniter or gas valve issue.
• If the igniter glows dull orange or takes several minutes, treat it as weak.
• If the igniter never glows, suspect a failed igniter, wiring issue, or control problem.

What usually fails on this model

On the MGR5750BDW, ignition problems most often come down to one of these components.

Symptom	Most likely cause	What to do next
Igniter glows but burner never lights	Weak oven burner igniter	Replace the igniter
Igniter does not glow at all	Open igniter or wiring issue	Inspect wiring, then replace igniter if damaged
Burner lights sometimes, then fails	Marginal igniter or intermittent connection	Check connections; replace igniter if inconsistent
Igniter glows and gas flows but no flame	Burner ports clogged or poor air mix	Clean burner tube and ports (when cool)

Why igniter strength matters (even if it glows)

A gas oven igniter is both a heater and an electrical load. When it is weak, it can still glow but not pull enough current to open the oven gas safety valve, so the burner never receives gas to ignite.

Safety and repair tips

• Turn off power at the breaker before servicing.
• Shut off the gas supply valve before disconnecting any gas line.
• Handle the igniter carefully; the element is fragile.
• If you ever smell gas, stop and ventilate the area before troubleshooting further.

Replacing the oven igniter on a Maytag MGR5750BDW gas freestanding range typically costs $100 to $350 total: about $50 to $150 for the part plus $100 to $200 for labor if you hire service. DIY cost is usually the part price only, such as the igniter 74007498.

Typical cost breakdown

Costs vary by whether you mean the oven burner igniter (most common) or a surface burner igniter on the cooktop.

• DIY (parts only): $50 to $150
• Professional repair (parts + labor): $100 to $350
• Same-day or after-hours service: often adds $50 to $150
• Multiple parts replaced in one visit: can raise parts cost but reduce per-part labor

Scenario	What you pay for	Typical total
DIY replacement	Part only	$50 to $150
Service call, straightforward repair	Part + labor	$150 to $300
Hard-to-access, extra diagnosis	Part + more labor	$250 to $350

What usually drives the price up or down

A gas range igniter job is usually predictable, but these factors change the final bill:

• Which igniter failed: oven igniter vs cooktop spark igniter
• Access time: some ranges require more disassembly to reach the oven burner
• Condition of wiring/connectors: brittle or heat-damaged connectors add time
• Extra symptoms: weak flame, delayed ignition, or no bake can require diagnosis
• Bundling repairs: replacing an igniter during another repair can reduce labor

Why it matters

A weak oven igniter can glow but still fail to open the gas valve quickly, causing no heat, slow preheat, or temperature swings. Replacing the igniter restores reliable ignition and helps the oven reach and hold set temperature.

Quick DIY checks before you buy parts

• Confirm the oven is set to Bake and you hear/see normal ignition behavior.
• If the igniter glows but the burner does not light within about 30 to 60 seconds, the igniter is often weak.
• If nothing glows and there is no heat, check for a tripped breaker (many gas ranges still need 120V power).
• If the cooktop clicks constantly or a burner will not spark, the issue may be a surface igniter or spark system instead.
