Maytag MGR5755BD Gas Oven Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Oven that lights, then shuts off partway through
- Safety valve that closes early
- Igniter that weakens as it heats
- Bake burner that cycles with a long gap
The MGR5755BD is a Maytag gas range. The number also appears as MGR5755BDB, MGR5755BDQ and MGR5755BDW. Gas drives the cooktop burners and the oven burner.
One complaint we hear on gas ovens of this type is an oven that lights, heats for a while and then goes cold while the food is still raw. The usual cause is an igniter that glows brightly when cold but loses current as it warms, so the safety valve closes. The sensor and the control are tested as well, to rule them out.
We run a complete bake cycle with a meter on the igniter circuit and watch the burner. No igniter is ordered until the data plate has been read. The estimate comes on paper first, and the labor warranty lasts 30 days.

Error codes this model can show
My MGR5755BD oven turns off in the middle of baking. Why?
An igniter that weakens as it gets hot is the usual cause, because the valve then closes. We measure current during a full cycle and replace the igniter if it drops below what the valve needs.
Does a new igniter always fix it?
Not always. We also test the safety valve, the sensor and the control, since any of them can stop the burner. We replace only what fails, and we explain why before we start.
How long does an oven igniter test take?
The test needs a full heat-up, so allow some time. We watch the igniter current and the burner at cold start, at lighting and at temperature. That gives a clear answer instead of a guess.
