Maytag MGR6775BDS gas freestanding range Parts

To reset a Maytag MGR6775BDS gas freestanding range oven, we recommend doing a simple power reset first (it clears many control glitches). If the control has a reset option, use the cancel/clear key sequence shown in the MGR6775BDS installation guide.

Quick reset steps (most common)

• Turn the oven OFF.
• Unplug the range, or switch OFF the circuit breaker for the range.
• Wait 1 to 5 minutes.
• Restore power.
• Set the clock, then try Bake again.

If the control panel is acting up

Some Maytag range controls can be reset from the keypad.

• Press CANCEL/CLEAR once.
• If the display is still frozen, press CANCEL/CLEAR again.
• If your control shows a reset prompt, press START to confirm.

What to check if it still will not heat

A “reset” will not fix a failed heating or ignition part. On a gas range, these are the most common causes when the oven will not ignite or takes too long to preheat:

• Weak or failed bake igniter (glows but does not open the gas valve)
• Failed broil igniter (some models use broil to assist preheat)
• Temperature sensor problem causing incorrect oven temperature readings
• Control issue or wiring connection problem

Common parts that relate to heating

Symptom	Most likely part to check	Example part for MGR6775BDS
No bake heat, no ignition	Bake igniter	Igniter W11596211
No broil heat	Broil igniter	Range broil igniter WP74007966
Oven temperature inaccurate	Oven temperature sensor	Range oven temperature sensor WP74011433

Why it matters

Resetting restores normal operation after a power surge or a stuck control state. If the oven still will not heat after a reset, focusing on the igniter and sensor saves time because those parts directly control gas ignition and temperature regulation.

On a Maytag MGR6775BDS gas freestanding range, an oven that will not heat is usually caused by a failed igniter, a temperature sensing problem, or a control issue. Start with safe basics (power and gas supply), then focus on the bake and broil ignition system.

Quick checks first (no tools)

• Confirm the range has power (clock/display on); the oven igniter needs electricity even though it is a gas oven.
• Make sure the gas shutoff valve is fully open.
• Try BAKE and BROIL; if neither lights, the issue is often ignition, power, or control.
• If the oven is in a self-clean or lock state, allow it to cool and reset per the MGR6775BDS installation guide.
• Verify the range is installed with proper ventilation and clearances; blocked airflow can affect operation.

Most common causes on gas ovens

1) Weak or failed igniter

A glow-bar igniter can glow but still be too weak to open the gas valve. Symptoms include long preheat times, no flame, or a faint gas smell with no ignition.

Helpful model-matched parts to consider:

• Igniter W11596211 (bake ignition)
• Range broil igniter WP74007966 (broil ignition)

2) Temperature sensor problem

If the sensor is out of range or its wiring is damaged, the control may prevent normal heating or cause erratic temperatures.

Model-matched options:

• Oven sensor 12001655
• Range oven temperature sensor WP74011433

3) Control or wiring issue

A failed electronic control or a burned connection can stop the igniter from receiving power.

• Check for loose/burned connections at the terminal block.
• If the display works but the oven never energizes the igniter, the control can be suspect.

Model-matched options:

• Terminal block WPW10245259
• Control WPW10166969

What to do based on symptoms

Symptom	Most likely cause	What we recommend
No glow from igniter in BAKE	Igniter open, wiring, control	Inspect wiring; replace bake igniter if damaged
Igniter glows, no flame	Weak igniter	Replace igniter
Broil works, bake does not	Bake igniter/circuit	Replace bake igniter
Heats but temps are off	Sensor issue	Test/replace sensor

Why it matters

A properly working igniter and sensor keep gas flow and oven temperature under control. Fixing the root cause restores normal preheat time, stable baking results, and safe ignition.

If your Maytag MGR6775BDS gas oven heats but never reaches the set temperature, the most common causes are a weak bake igniter, a failing temperature sensor, or airflow and installation issues that disrupt combustion. Start by checking for normal ignition and steady burner flame during preheat.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Confirm the oven is actually lighting during Bake (you should hear ignition and then see a steady flame).
• Watch for a long preheat with a small, lazy flame; that often points to a weak igniter.
• Make sure strong drafts are not blowing across the range; drafts can affect burner ignition and combustion.
• Verify the range is installed so ventilation air below the range is not obstructed.
• If you are at higher elevation (over about 2,000 ft), gas input may need adjustment for proper performance.

Parts that most often cause low oven temperature

A gas oven can light and still underheat if the ignition system or sensing circuit is weak.

Symptom	Most likely cause	Common fix
Very slow preheat, burner flame looks weak	Weak bake igniter	Replace igniter W11596211
Temperature swings widely, food undercooks	Sensor drifting out of range	Replace oven sensor 12001655
Oven heats sometimes, then stops	Control or wiring issue	Inspect connections; test components

Why installation and airflow matter

Your installation setup can directly affect heating performance. The installation guidance for this model calls out sealing openings behind/under the range and keeping cooling and ventilation airflow unobstructed below the range. It also warns that strong drafts and certain ventilation setups can create ignition and combustion problems.

• Review clearances, airflow, and placement details in the installation guide.
• Avoid placing the range where floor or wall openings create strong air movement.
• Do not use downdraft ventilation that pulls air downward across gas burners.

When to stop and get service

• You smell gas, see soot, or the flame is yellow and rolling.
• The oven will not ignite at all.
• You suspect a gas adjustment is needed for high altitude.
