Maytag MGR8850DS Gas Cooking Range Repair

Most common issues on this model

Oven that lights but never reaches the set temperature
Burner knobs that are hard to turn
Flame that lifts off the burner
Oven interior that smells of burning after cleaning

This is the MGR8850DS, a Maytag gas range sold under one number. The only facts we have are the brand, the fuel and the type of appliance, so we avoid claims about capacity or special features and verify them on the unit.

On a range like this one, an oven that lights but never reaches the set temperature makes us look at the igniter, the burner flame and the temperature control, in that order. Flames that lift off the burner indicate too much gas pressure or an air problem, and we measure the pressure at the unit. Hard-to-turn knobs usually mean grease around the valve stem, which we clean or replace. A burning smell after cleaning often comes from cleaner trapped in the oven, but we also confirm that nothing has spilled onto the burner.

We quote in writing before work starts, and our workmanship carries a 30-day warranty. Please have the label ready, or let us find it when we arrive.

MGR8850DSMGR8850DS questions

Why does the flame lift off the burner?

A lifted flame can mean too much pressure or a poor air mixture. On gas stoves of this type, we measure pressure, clean the ports and adjust the air shutter if needed.

The oven smells like burning after I cleaned it. Is that a problem?

Often it is leftover cleaner or spilled food on the oven floor. If the smell continues once the oven is clean and dry, we inspect the burner area for residue.

Why are my burner knobs so stiff?

Grease and heat can harden around the valve stem. We clean the stem, and if the valve itself is binding, we replace it and give you the price first.
