Small Top Oven Would Not Turn On
Maytag Gemini Freestanding Gas Double Range MGR6775BDS-Impotant Note: This Maytag Gemini is a double oven-so there is a smaller oven on top and a larger oven on the bottom. In the small top over, there are two igniters (broiler igniter on top of the oven and a bake igniter on the bottom). The igniters look identical (like the broil igni
... Read moreter) but have different connectors, and therefore different part numbers on the site . The top broil igniter is WP7400-7966 and the bottom bake igniter is WP7400-7399. They look identical but have different connectors. The repair was simple. Shut off the electric and gas to the stove. Remove the back panel (5 screws), and disconnect the igniter. The oven igniter is below the broil igniter for the top oven. Inside the small oven, remove the heat deflector cover (two screws right in front). Now remove the heat deflector (two wing nuts on top of the burner). Now remove the burner. There are three screws, one right in front (by the door), one in the bracket by the igniter and a third holding a small plate by the flame adjustment valve. Once the three screws are removed, fish the igniter wire (that you unattached in the back of the stove) through the stove wall into the oven area. Slide the burner a little to the left and remove it from the oven. The igniter is attached to the burner by two screws. Remove the igniter and attach the new one. As another tip, one of the screws would not unscrew (stripped in the metal). Maybe this is because of the constant heat and cooling of the metal. I had to saw off the old screw and reattached the igniter with my own screw and nut. Fish the new igniter wire through to back of the oven. Attach it to the connector in the back of the range. Reverse the directions to re-install the burner, heat deflector, heat defector cover and rear panel (on the back of the range).

Oven not heating up properly, taking way to long, not maintaining temperature, poor performance. (45 min to heat up to 350)
Change Temp Sensor-Turn off the power or unplug unit, remove oven racks, removed the two screws that hold temp sensor, pull out and unplug. Change Igniter-Remove two front screws holding bottom cover on and lift out of place, next remove the two wing nuts holding square plate on, next remove the three screws holding gas tube in place
... Read more, remove gas tube pulling wire carefully through and unplug it. Remove the two screws that hold igniter to gas tube. I found it easier to pull stove out and remove back bottom left square cover held in with four screws to fish the igniter cable back through. Oven now heats to 350 in 8 minutes.
repair was easy. remove the covers to get to the igniter. the connection is in the back of the range, requiring the removal of the back panel of the range, but it was easy once the range was pulled out.

Oven would not warm up
This was quick and painless. Just had to remove the cover at the bottom of the oven and remove the burner. Unhooked the wireA couple of screws held the igniter on the burner. Took those off and replaced it with the new one. Done deal. This took no more the 5 minutes to complete and it works like a charm!

The lower oven does not heat.I replaced the long oven sensor and that did not help.The igniter glows as it should, but there appears to be no gas with which to light.The upper oven works properly.Is there a thermal couple or another part that's common to this problem?Seems simple, but I am stumped. Please advise. Many thanks!
For model number MGR6772BDS
Hi David, Thank you for the question.Only way to know for sure is to test the parts with a multi meter. Test for 3.2-3.6 volts AC at the gas safety valve with the igniter turned on, if the voltage is there you have a bad safety valve. If the voltage is low, you have a weak igniter and the igniter will need to be replaced.If the igniter is weak it can still glow, but will not have enough volts to open the valve.Hope this helps!
