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).

• 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.

• 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)

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.

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.

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

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)

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

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.

• 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.

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

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.

• 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.

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

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

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.

• 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.
