Hello again, and thanks for answering my question. I followed your instructions, very helpful thanks! and installed the igniter. However, there was still the same screeching sound when I turn the burner on. This sound came from behind the oven from a blue box on the bottom of the oven. There are white and red wires that go into that blue box. Can you assist with this new problem? What is the blue box? I am assuming I have to take it apart. Thanks.

Serena

Answer Hello Serena. It sounds like you are talking about the spark module in the unit. If so, you will need to replace the spark module in the range. Hope this helps.

My question is similar to the one asked by someone else. The wires in our oven do not have a quick connect to match up with the part number AP4096256. The one that came out of the oven was melted and burned, that is why it is being replaced. The color of the burned part is green. The red wires were attached to that green end connector.

Serena for Model Number Magic Chef free standing gas oven.

Answer Hello Serena. You will cut off the connector and splice the wires to the iginter 74007498 and hard wire it into the unit. You will need to use ceramic wire nuts 83488 on the wires. Hope this helps.

The wires in our oven (Maytag MGR5875QDS) do not have a quick connect end to match up with the part AP4096256 oven ignitor that I purchased from Appliance Parts Pros. Also the ignitor mount in the oven is a horizontal mount and part # AP4096256 is a vertical mount. Is this the right part for the model number? If not, can I use the part that I already purchased, or what part number do I need instead?

Td for Model Number MGR5875QDs

Answer Hello TD! Yes, the oven ignitor part number 74007498 is the correct oven ignitor used on your MGR5875QDS model. The bake/broil igniter is part number 7432P136-60. Thanks!

My oven will not prehear nor will the broil work on it. The ignitor glows but does not ignite to preheat or broil. What part would I have to order to fix this problem. There is no gas smell when you try to prehear or turn the broil on. I turned on the broil and put lighter up to it to see if it would ignite and it did not. Thanks Carey

Carey for Model Number Maytag Oven MGR570BDQ

Answer Hello Carey. Test for 3.2-3.6 volts AC at the gas safety valve with the igniter turned on. If the voltage is there, you have a bad safety valve 74006427. If the voltage is low, you have a weak igniter and the igniter 74007498 will need to be replaced. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.

I previously posted a question on the tempature sensor page and was advised that the problem might be the bake burner igniter or oven safety valve (AP4096256 or AP4264563). You said that the igniter should draw 3.2 to 3.6 amps when glowing or produce 3.2 to 3.6 VAC at the wires on the terminals on the safety valve. My husband was able to pull the igniter out from inside the oven. Is there anyway to test the igniter with a multimeter or otherwise to see if it has failed without pulling the stove from the wall?

Mj for Model Number JGS8860BDP

Answer Hello MJ. You can test the igniter for continuity, but really the unit needs to be tested for voltage to determine if the igniter 74007498 is weak. Test for 3.2-3.6 volts AC at the gas safety valve with the igniter turned on. If the voltage is there, you have a bad safety valve. If the voltage is low, you have a weak igniter and the igniter will need to be replaced. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.

Maytag gas range oven will not preheat. All burners work as does the broil function. Will not bake or convection bake. What part should I order?

Dina for Model Number MGR5875QDS

Answer Hello Dina. Test for 3.2-3.6 volts AC at the gas safety valve with the igniter turned on. If the voltage is there, you have a bad safety valve 12002604. If the voltage is low, you have a weak igniter and the igniter 7432P136-60 will need to be replaced. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.

How do you take the oven door off to get access to the oven bake ignitor. I see that there is a screw on each side of the door does this screw have to be removed first?

Hibye for Model Number GAS STOVE MGR5755QDS

Answer Hello Hibye. Open the door all the way open. Then pull the two metal clips on the back of the door hinges down and lock them into place. Close the door to the stopping point. Lift the door off the oven. Hope this helps.

How difficult is it to remove and replace gas oven ignitor on Maytag gas stove?

Hibye for Model Number Maytag gas oven model MGR5755QRS

Answer Hello Hibye. These are not hard to replace. Remove the rack from the oven and the oven door. Then remove the bottom panel inside the oven. Next you will remove the burner baffle off the top of the burner, and remove the screws holding the igniter 74007498 in place. Pull the wires out of the back of the oven and reinstall in reverse order with the new igniter. Hope this helps.

Oven heats up/bakes slow. The top burner does not come on during bake but works on broil (is it supposed to light on bake) Bottom burner seems to do all the heating.

Rick for Model Number jgr8750bdw

Answer Hello Rick. No, the top burner only comes on when the broil function is selected. Check and see if it takes a long time for the bottom burner to lite when the igniter glows. If so, you have a weak igniter 74007498, and it will need to be replaced. Hope this helps.
