Maytag Range MGR6600FB0 Won't start or doesn't start

The Oven Igniter is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. It is designed to ignite the gas in the oven burner, providing the heat necessary for baking or broiling. This igniter is critical for the oven’s functionality, as it must heat up to a specific temperature to open the gas valve and begin the combustion process.

Symptoms of a bad Oven Igniter include:

• The oven failing to heat up despite the gas being turned on.
• A gas smell indicating that gas is being released without ignition.
• Intermittent heating, where the oven fails to maintain a consistent temperature.

Causes of a bad oven igniter can include aging and wear that reduce the igniter’s ability to reach the required temperature, electrical issues such as faulty wiring or connections, or a malfunctioning safety valve that doesn’t open properly.

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

The Spark Igniter is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool gas ranges. Located inside the oven cavity it initiates combustion using high-voltage electricity. This is a broil igniter for the upper (broil) burner.

Causes of malfunction relate primarily to element degradation from extended heating cycles. Exposure to grease or other residue accumulation shortens the service life by insulating the hot surface.

Symptoms involve:

• Inability to ignite gas burners using the automatic igniter
• Safety issues arise requiring manual lighting with matches or lighters
• Difficulties baking or broiling without consistent flame generation
• Element replacement prevents further problems and safety hazards

This is a genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement this part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air and some Kenmore models.
