Maytag MGR5729AD Gas Oven and Cooktop Repair

Most common issues on this model

Oven igniter that glows while the burner stays unlit
Oven running cooler than the dial
Top burner that lights unevenly
Knob that turns with too little resistance

MGR5729AD is a Maytag gas range listed with six endings, among them MGR5729ADA, MGR5729ADH and MGR5729ADL. With that many versions, finish or a small revision can vary from one unit to the next, so the whole number on the plate counts.

An oven that sees daily use is where we spend the first minutes on a range like this. We test the bake system: igniter current, the gas safety valve, and the sensor reading against what a hand-held thermometer shows. A glowing igniter with no flame turns up often on gas ovens.

On the cooktop we look over burners, caps and spark switches. With six endings in play, we note the complete model and serial from the data plate and only then order. The estimate comes in writing first, our workmanship warranty lasts 30 days, and if a repair is a poor bet for your range we say so.

MGR5729ADMGR5729AD questions

My MGR5729AD oven glows orange but does not light. Why?

The igniter may not be passing enough current to open the safety valve, or the valve itself may be sluggish. We read the current and compare it with what the valve needs, then change whichever part falls short.

There are six versions of this number. Does that matter?

Slightly. The endings mostly separate finishes, yet a revision can use another igniter, switch or knob. The whole number from the label lets us order a part that fits the first time.

The oven bakes cooler than the dial says. What do you check?

A hand-held thermometer goes inside, the sensor resistance gets measured, and the igniter and valve are tested. A tired igniter or a sensor that has drifted are the usual culprits in gas ovens like this.
