MGR5880BD
Maytag MGR5880BD Gas Range Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Broil burner that will not light
- Broil flame covering only part of the burner
- Broiler that smokes more than it used to
- Food that browns on one side only
Your MGR5880BD is a Maytag gas range and the number can end in B, Q, S or W, for example MGR5880BDS. Gas feeds the cooktop and the oven.
Broiling on a gas range of this type depends on the burner being clean and level and its flame being even from end to end. A broil flame that covers only half the burner, a burner that will not light, or food that browns on one side points us to the igniter, the safety valve and clogged ports. Grease dripping onto the burner is a common cause of a smoky broiler.
We remove the broil burner or pan where the design allows, clean it, test the ignition and watch the flame at full heat. Which broil igniter or burner fits is set by the data plate, so we read it before ordering. A written estimate comes first, and the repair is guaranteed for 30 days.

Error codes this model can show
My MGR5880BD broil flame is only on one side. Why?
Grease or debris in the ports blocks the flame along part of the burner. We clean the ports, check the burner is seated level and test the igniter and the valve.
Why does my broiler smoke so much?
Grease on the burner, the pan or the oven floor burns off and smokes. A clean burner and pan help. If it keeps smoking, we inspect the flame for poor combustion.
The broiler will not light but the oven bakes. Is that possible?
Yes. Some gas ovens have separate burners or igniter circuits for bake and broil. We test the broil igniter and valve circuit on their own to find the failed part.
