How do I figure out what model oven I have?
To identify your oven model, we look for the model and serial tag on the appliance itself. On a Maytag gas freestanding range like model MGR6772BDQ, the tag is usually on the oven frame behind the door or around the storage drawer area.
Where to find the model number tag
Check these common locations first:
- Oven door frame (open the oven door and look along the front frame)
- Storage drawer frame (pull the drawer out and look on the frame rails or side walls)
- Broiler drawer area (if your range has one)
- Back panel of the range (near the gas line connection area)
- Under the cooktop edge (less common, but possible)
What the tag looks like and what to write down
The tag is typically a sticker or metal plate with multiple lines of information.
- Model number (example: MGR6772BDQ)
- Serial number (helps confirm exact production run)
- Sometimes a type code or additional identifier
Quick checklist
- Copy the model number exactly, including all letters and numbers
- Take a clear photo for reference
- Use the model number when ordering parts like an igniter, oven sensor, or door gasket
Why it matters
The model number ensures we match the correct Maytag parts and diagrams for your exact range configuration. Even small model variations can change which igniter, burner base, or oven door parts fit.
Common part you may need once the model is confirmed
If you are troubleshooting “oven won’t heat,” a frequent repair is replacing the bake igniter.
| Symptom | Common related part | Example part for MGR6772BDQ |
|---|---|---|
| Oven won’t heat or heats slowly | Bake igniter | Igniter W11596211 |
| Oven temperature seems off | Oven sensor | WP74011433 |
| Oven leaks heat | Door gasket | WPW10162384 |

Is a gas range 110 or 220?
Most gas ranges, including the Maytag MGR6772BDQ, plug into a standard 120-volt (often called 110/115/120V) household outlet; the gas supplies the heat, and the electricity powers the igniters, oven controls, and lights.
What the outlet does on a gas range
Even though the cooktop and oven burn gas, the range still needs household power for key functions:
- Spark ignition for surface burners
- Oven bake and broil ignition (hot-surface igniter systems)
- Control board, display, and clock
- Oven light
- Some safety circuits (depending on design)
If the range has no power, burners may not ignite and the oven typically will not heat.
Quick check: what you should see at home
Use this as a practical guide for a typical U.S. installation.
| Range type | Typical plug/outlet | Typical breaker | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gas freestanding range (like MGR6772BDQ) | 120V, 3-prong grounded | 15A or 20A | Gas provides heat; electric runs ignition and controls |
| Electric range | 240V (often called 220V) | 40A to 50A | Electricity provides the heat |
Troubleshooting if it will not ignite or heat
If your Maytag MGR6772BDQ has power but the oven will not light, these are common causes we see:
- Weak or failed bake igniter (slow glow, no ignition)
- Failed broil igniter (broil will not light)
- Loose or burned wiring connections
- Failed oven temperature sensor
- Gas supply valve closed or low gas pressure
Model-matched parts that often apply to ignition and heating issues include the igniter W11596211 and the oven sensor WP74011433.
Why it matters
Knowing whether your range is 120V or 240V helps you avoid outlet and breaker mismatches, and it speeds up diagnosis when the oven will not heat or the igniters will not click.

What gas is used in gas stoves?
Most gas stoves, including the Maytag MGR6772BDQ gas freestanding range, are designed to run on either natural gas (typical home gas line) or LP propane (from a tank) when the range is set up for that fuel type.
Common fuel types you will see
- Natural gas (NG): Most common for homes with a utility gas line
- LP propane (LP): Common in rural areas or homes with a propane tank
- Butane: Used in some regions and portable appliances (less common for U.S. freestanding ranges)
How to tell what your range is currently set up for
We recommend checking these items on your MGR6772BDQ:
- The gas supply feeding the range (utility line vs propane tank)
- The rating plate (often behind the storage drawer or on the frame) for fuel notes
- Burner flame behavior: LP setups typically use smaller orifices and different regulator settings
- Any prior installation notes from the home or installer
Why it matters
Using the wrong gas setup can cause poor baking performance, weak burner flames, soot, or ignition problems. If your oven is not lighting or heating correctly, a weak igniter is a common cause on many gas ranges.
Parts that are often involved when heat or ignition is the issue
If you are troubleshooting “won’t heat” symptoms (not converting fuel types), these model-compatible parts are commonly checked:
Quick comparison
| Fuel type | Typical source | What must match on the range |
|---|---|---|
| Natural gas | Utility gas line | Regulator setting and correct orifices |
| LP propane | Propane tank | LP regulator setting and correct orifices |
