Maytag Range MGR5729ADA Won't start or doesn't start

The Spark Module Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It is responsible for generating the spark needed to ignite the gas burners on the cooktop. The spark module sends electrical signals to the igniters, creating the spark that lights the gas for cooking. 

Over time, the spark module can fail due to electrical issues, exposure to moisture, or normal wear and tear. When the spark module becomes faulty, it can lead to various problems with igniting the burners.

Symptoms of a bad spark module include:

• Burners not lighting or taking a long time to light
• No clicking sound when turning the burner knob
• Burners only lighting intermittently
• Visible sparks or arcing from the module

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

NOTE: This part is only compatible with serial numbers starting with 21 and up on model 8351VV.

The Flat Style Oven Igniter Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. It is designed to ignite the gas in the oven burner, facilitating the start of the heating process. This igniter is crucial for ensuring your oven heats up quickly and efficiently, providing the necessary flame for cooking and baking.

Symptoms of a bad Oven Igniter include:

• The oven failing to heat up or taking a long time to reach the desired temperature.
• A noticeable gas smell when the oven is turned on, indicating the gas is not igniting.
• The igniter glowing without producing a flame, which can point to a lack of adequate temperature to ignite the gas.

Causes of a bad oven igniter can include the wear and breakdown of the igniter element over time, a faulty electrical connection, or a disruption in the gas supply.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Top Burner Spark Igniter is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It is responsible for igniting the gas on the stove burners, allowing you to start cooking quickly and efficiently. The spark igniter produces a spark that lights the gas, providing the flame needed for cooking.

Causes of a bad igniter can include wear and tear over time, buildup of food debris or grease that interferes with the spark, or electrical issues that prevent the igniter from generating a spark.

Symptoms of a bad Top Burner Spark Igniter include:

• Burner not igniting
• Weak or no spark
• Clicking sound without ignition
• Delayed ignition of the burner

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Oven Temperature Sensor is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. It measures the oven's internal temperature and sends this information to the control board to maintain the desired cooking temperature. 

Causes of a bad temperature sensor can include exposure to high temperatures over long periods, electrical issues such as short circuits, or physical damage due to impact or mishandling.

Symptoms of a bad temperature sensor include:

• Inaccurate temperature readings
• Oven not heating to the set temperature
• Oven overheating
• Error codes displayed on the oven control panel

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Note: For the long 6-inch sensor order 12001656.

This oven gas valve controls the flow of gas to the oven burner. When functioning properly, it allows the burner to ignite and maintain a steady flame for consistent preheating and baking performance.

• Opens and closes to supply gas to the oven burner as commanded by the control system
• Helps ensure gas only flows when ignition is called for
• Common symptoms include no heat/no flame, slow preheat, or temperature not reaching set point
• May also present as intermittent heat or a weak/irregular burner flame

• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply before servicing
• Verify igniter condition/current; a weak igniter can mimic a failed valve
• Transfer any required fittings or brackets from the original valve
• Use gas-rated thread sealant on threaded joints; leak-test all connections and run a test cycle to proper ignition

This igniter switch operates the burner lighter so the cooktop sparks and lights a gas burner when you press the lighter control. Replacing a faulty switch restores consistent ignition and reliable burner starting. What it does:

• Sends the ignition spark to the burner when the lighter/push-button is pressed.
• Replaces a worn, sticky, or unresponsive lighter switch that prevents consistent sparking.
• Common symptoms it can address: no spark from the lighter, intermittent sparking, or a button that fails to activate ignition.
• Interfaces with the existing lighter mechanism and wiring to restore normal ignition function.

• Disconnect power (unplug) and shut off the gas supply before starting any work.
• Access typically requires removing the cooktop or control panel; use appropriate hand tools and keep track of fasteners.
• Avoid touching electrical contacts and confirm wiring matches the original during reassembly.
