NEED DIAGRAM FOR A MAYTAG STOVE MODEL #MGR 577 0ADW , THE OVER CARD IS NOT GIVING THE OVEN PILOT THE SIGNAL TO IGNITE

STOP >>> CALL THE LANDLORD.. its his/her problem.. explain the stove lights itself... even if you are not at home.. that should get his attention... (Fire hazard!!!!)..

The heat from your vent should be a little lower than what the oven is set at. So I doubt if you have a problem but you might want to take some temperature measurements to see.

The original poster is asking if the size of the pilot flame can be adjusted because it is so big it can audibly be heard. His oven is working perfectly as he stated having replaced both the pilot assembly and the oven thermostat. So the question remains can the size of the pilot flame be adjusted? I am having the opposite problem with the pilot flame being too small so the gas valve opens but the gas will not ignite untill the volume of natural gas fills the chamber enough to be ignited by the pilot at which point flames can be seen shooting out from under the stove. I know the pilot flame can be adjusted for the stove burners it's reasonable to believe there is an adjustment for the oven pilot as well.

Hello,
This is usually a symptom of a faulty oven safety valve. Over time, it tends to stick internally and banging on it helps unstick it. You can either continue banging on it for faster burner ignition or have it replaced. You'll need the make, model # and sometimes serial # if it's an older model, to replace the part. If you do it yourself, be sure to close the shut off valve behind the stove before you remove it. Douglas

Probably needs the ignitor replaced. http://www.handymanwire.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/408747/an/0/page/332

Hi, The ignitor is getting weak and will not open the gas valve. Replace the ignitor and you will be back in business. This is a very common problem with the gas ovens.
Please let me know if I can assist you further.

REmove bottom panel from stove. shut gas off for at LEAST 5 min. Longer is better. Then placel open flame above gas nozzle, slowly turn to ignite posiiton. After it is lit, wait 30 seconds and turn to on positon.
If by chance this model doens't have a knob for this, then turn gas valve off for 5 min, let fumes evaporate, light flame, place over nozzle, turn gas on.replace bottom oven panel slowly.

the oven ignitor needs replasing. that's the electrinic pilot that is nest to the oven burner.

have you done testing and checking the unit, it seems that your problem was on the thermal fuse, and this part need to be replaced if you find it burned or busted

Often times you will have problems with the gas thermostat and not necessarily with the safety valve. Once you have lit the pilot light, turn the oven knob to any temperature. The pilot light should get bigger in size of flame. If not, the thermostat that controls the oven must be replaced. If the pilot light does get bigger, but the stove does not ignite, it is the safety valve.
