Thread: Electronic Ignition wont work on Maytag

    Electronic Ignition wont work on Maytag

    Model Number: MGS5770ADQ
    Brand: Maytag
    Age: 6-10 years

    So about a year ago the ignition on my stovetop went. The bridal unit has been bugging me to fix it. Last night the oven ignitor went, so since I'm going to be fixing that, I might as well do the stove top as well. I have no idea what part i need for the stove top. I have the oven one in my cart as I type.

    On a side note, if the oven ignitor is bad, would that cause the convection fan not to work as well?

    Thanks advance for the help!

    If the spark ignitor for all four of the burners stopped working at once, then it could be the spark module that is bad. When you turn on a burner, do you hear the clicking noise that it is trying to make a spark?

    This is the spark module for your range:

    The burners do not click at all. They used to sporadically, but now not at all. Since it looks like I will need the module, can you tell me how to install it?

    On most ranges the spark module is accessed from the back side of the stove. They don't show a location for this part for your model stove.

    So tonight for fun I needed to cook something and just gave the oven a whirl on standard bake. It got to temp with no problem. When I go convection, it takes forever. Am i facing something different or still the ignitor?

    Thanks for the infor on the module too!

    I don't see a separate heating element listed for the convection system, so it is probably just using the heating from the bake and broil burners and circulating it with the fan. It could be a problem with the ignitor but without using an accurate oven thermometer to measure the temperature it is hard to say what it is doing.
