Maytag MGR5751BDS gas freestanding range Parts

To reset a Maytag gas oven like model MGR5751BDS, press CANCEL to stop the current function; if the control is still acting up or BAKE/LOCK keeps flashing, turn power off to the range for a few minutes, then restore power and set the clock again using the steps in the MGR5751BDS owner's manual.

Quick reset options (start here)

• Press CANCEL once to clear an active bake, broil, timer, or clean cycle.
• If the controls are locked, press and hold CANCEL and Cook & Hold for 3 seconds to unlock.
• If BAKE or LOCK flashes rapidly, press CANCEL.
• If flashing continues, switch the range OFF at the breaker (or unplug) for 2 to 5 minutes, then restore power.
• If the oven is in Sabbath Mode, press and hold Clock for 5 seconds to cancel.

What to do after restoring power

1. Set the time of day (the colon may flash until time is set).
2. Test Bake at a normal temperature and confirm the burner lights.
3. If the oven will not heat after a reset, follow the checks in oven wont heat troubleshooting gas range problems video.

What the display is telling you

What you see	What it usually means	What to do
Controls do not respond	Control lock is on	Hold CANCEL + Cook & Hold 3 seconds
BAKE or LOCK flashing	Control detected a fault	Press CANCEL, then power-cycle 2 to 5 minutes
Sabbath Mode active	Special mode disables some functions	Hold Clock 5 seconds

Why it matters

A proper reset clears stuck keypad inputs and temporary control faults, and it is the fastest way to recover normal baking and broiling without replacing parts.

If your Maytag MGR5751BDS gas oven is not heating, the most common cause is a weak or failed oven igniter that cannot open the gas safety valve. Also check for a power outage (this range will not operate the oven during a power failure) and make sure the controls are set correctly per the MGR5751BDS owner's manual.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Confirm the display and oven controls respond normally (no locked controls).
• Verify the kitchen has power; this range uses pilotless ignition and the oven will not run during a power failure.
• Set BAKE to a temperature and listen for ignition; a failing igniter often glows weakly or not at all.
• Make sure the oven vent area is not blocked (heat and airflow matter for proper operation).
• Cancel the cycle and retry after 1 minute to reset a minor control glitch.

Most likely part to fix “won’t heat on bake”

On gas ranges like the MGR5751BDS, a bad igniter is the top reason the oven will not heat even though the control is calling for heat.

Symptom	What it usually points to	What to do next
No heat, no ignition, igniter does not glow	Failed igniter or no power to igniter	Check power; inspect igniter wiring; replace igniter if damaged
Igniter glows but burner never lights	Weak igniter (not drawing enough current)	Replace igniter
Broil works but bake does not	Bake igniter circuit issue	Replace bake igniter

If you need the replacement, use the model-matched range oven burner igniter 74007498.

Safety notes that affect troubleshooting

• Do not try to light the oven with a match; pilotless ignition shuts gas off and the oven will not operate during a power failure.
• Keep the oven vent clear; the area near the vent can get hot during use.

Why it matters

When the igniter is weak, the oven can fail to light or heat very slowly, which leads to undercooked food and inconsistent baking temperatures. Restoring proper ignition gets you reliable preheat and stable oven performance.

If the broiler on your Maytag MGR5751BDS gas freestanding range is not working, the most common causes are a failed igniter, a problem in the control (clock/control board), or a condition that prevents safe ignition (such as a power outage). Start with basic checks, then test the ignition and control components.

Quick checks first (fastest wins)

• Confirm the range has power; this model uses pilotless ignition and the oven will not operate during a power failure.
• Make sure the oven door is fully closed; broiling is designed to run with the door closed.
• Set BROIL and allow a short preheat (about 2 to 3 minutes) before judging performance.
• Verify the rack position; food too close to the flame can seem like “bad broil” because it smokes or burns.
• If you recently cleaned, confirm nothing is blocking airflow; never block the oven vent.

What usually fails on a gas broiler

On gas ranges like the MGR5751BDS, the broil burner needs a working ignition system and correct gas flow. These are the most common failure points:

Symptom	Most likely cause	What to do next
No glow, no heat	Broil/bake igniter not heating	Inspect and replace the igniter if it will not glow/heat properly; see range oven burner igniter 74007498.
Igniter glows but no flame	Weak igniter or gas valve issue	Replace the igniter first (most common); if still no flame, have the gas valve/regulator checked.
Broil works sometimes	Control or wiring connection issue	Check harness connections; if intermittent, the control may be failing.

Parts that commonly solve “no broil”

• Range oven burner igniter 74007498 (most common fix when there is no ignition)
• Spark/ignition components (if surface burners also have ignition issues)
• Oven control/clock assembly (if the broil command is not being sent)

Why it matters

A broiler that will not ignite is usually an ignition or control problem, not a “low temperature” issue. Fixing the root cause restores safe burner operation and prevents unburned gas situations.

Model-specific notes from the manual

• Your range uses pilotless ignition; the oven will not operate during a power failure.
• Broiling guidance includes preheating briefly and broiling with the door closed.

For operating steps and broiling guidance, use the MGR5751BDS owner’s manual.
