MGT8655X
Maytag MGT8655X Gas Range Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Surface burners that light unevenly
- Oven that bakes cooler than the display
- Broil burner that lights and drops out
- Cooktop that sparks continuously
The label MGT8655X marks a Maytag gas range with a gas cooktop and oven. The same number is sold with endings including MGT8655XB, MGT8655XS and MGT8655XW.
With this type of range, we pay close attention to the parts that wear first: the spark electrodes at the burners, the oven igniter, and the temperature sensor. Constant sparking usually means food or moisture around an electrode. A cooler oven can come from a tired igniter that is slow to open the valve. We check these in order, along with the gas connector and the shutoff behind the range.
Plenty of Houston homes still cook on a range like this. If a fix stops paying off, we say so. The exact number and serial on the tag guide the parts order, you receive a written estimate, and workmanship problems within 30 days are ours to put right.

Error codes this model can show
Why does my MGT8655X keep sparking after the burner lights?
Moisture or boiled-over food near the electrode can make it keep sparking. We clean and dry the head, then test the switch if it continues.
My oven runs cooler than the setting on the MGT8655X. Is it the igniter?
It could be. A weak igniter delays the valve, and a drifting sensor misreports the heat. We test both and compare the oven with a separate thermometer.
Do the XB, XS and XW versions need different service?
The service steps are alike because they are versions of one number. We still read the complete tag on your range so each part we order fits the exact unit we are working on.
