MGT8720D
Maytag MGT8720D Gas Range Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Burner that will not light on the first try
- Oven with a slow preheat
- Flame that pops or gutters when turned low
- Door that closes poorly against the frame
MGT8720D is a Maytag gas range, burning gas at the cooktop and in the oven. Other listings of the same number carry endings like MGT8720DE, MGT8720DH and MGT8720DS.
On a range of this type, we look first at how the flame behaves at low settings. A gutter or pop on low often means debris in the burner or a loose cap, and it is something we can fix during one visit. In the oven, a slow preheat points us to the igniter and burner tube, and a door that does not close tight sends us to the hinges and gasket.
Before ordering anything, we copy the full number and serial from the tag on the range. The price is given in writing ahead of the work, and we return at no charge if our workmanship fails within 30 days.

Error codes this model can show
The flame on my MGT8720D pops when I turn it low. Why?
Dirty ports or a burner cap that sits crooked can make the low flame unstable. We clean the head, reseat the cap and check the flame across the whole dial.
My oven preheats slowly. Do I need a new igniter?
Not always. We test the igniter's current first, then the valve and burner tube. If the igniter reads strong, the cause lies elsewhere and we do not replace it.
How do you handle the DE, DH or DS versions?
They are listed as endings of the same number. We service them the same way and confirm the complete number from the label before ordering.
