Hi, I have a Majic Chef gas oven that just decided to stop working and I’m hoping you might be able to remotely diagnos it. I can set the temperature control but the oven never reaches the set temperature. The ignitor glows a bright orange but the gas valve doesn’t see to turn on and the burner doesn’t ignite. That having been said, it must fire at some time beause the oven temp will climb to about 200F if I wait long enough. Also, when this happens, there is a slight gas smell. I’m guessing that the ignitor is bad/weak rather than the gas valve as the broiler still works. Can you provide any suggestions?

OK thanks for the info. I will keep you posted. Thanks again
also I found the part on ***** here:

in my neighborhood it common to have a blackout during a bad storm. and the blackouts would normally last for a few hours. two years ago, the day before thanksgiving as a storm approached i made last minute runs to the store and then started cooking the night before thanksgiving. the power went out about 11:00pm and i used candles to see what i was at least cooking on top of the stove. to make a long story short the power never came back on until that friday morning and only a few items were cooked, none that needed to be cooked in the oven.
The control board senses one or more pads on the key pad stuck, causing the lights to blink.
In order to provide the right part number for the console I need the color of the dishwasher.

It was the day before Thanksgiving and our fridge went out. Of course it was filled with the festivity meal fixins. We live in Dallas, and first had to pick up my brother in law at the airpoirt, an hour drive each way, in traffic. My oldest daughter went into labor sometime that day.
The repair man came out, and this was his third or forth visit on the same appliance. Since we had the lemon purchase agreement, we were able to return it, to Best Buy, which by the way isn’t true (it’s not the Best Buy).
Of course getting to the store and finding a replacement, that was in stock (at the store) the day before a holiday is not possible. We were told we could have a replacement in about 10 days. We decided to pick a more expensive model provided it was available in the store or we could purchase floor model. We explained to them our time issue. meanwhile my daughter was calling, wanted her mother at the hospital of course.
Now it is closing in on about 6PM , before we could even trade in our broken fridge we had to go back home, unload all the food, get the old to the store and through customer service. Then the manager decided not to sell the floor model. He was not brought in on the probelm at the very beginging as we were told. We were not even allowed to use a dolly to bring the old fridge back to the store. I will assume every one has had similar Best Buy experience and will not bore you with the entire details of dealing with them. We fianlly got home around 10PM with a new fridge, the baby was born around 7PM. My wife and daughter will never forget, and we never shop at best buy any longer.
It was a girl.
On "Thanksgiving Eve" my wife had returned from the grocery store and had all the fixins for a tremendous Thanksgiving dinner, next to Halloween it is without a doubt her "High" Holiday. You would think you were in Plymouth Rock if you came into our dining room, turkey plates, turkey silverware, turkey stemware, ad nauseaum, well she enjoys it and I like the food. Our dogs, Cletus and Lucy (Arkansas Leg Hounds) were also anticipating the coming feast and were "Underfoot", as usual. My wife after opening a low cabinet backs up a step and feels a dog there, when she tried to not step on the hound she stumbled, fell and broke her ankle very badly. It was like the scene from "A Christmas Story" , all of my visions of "Turkey Heaven" were dashed! We had a house full coming over and my wife being the trooper she is, a "small" gin and tonic and 3 percocet’s 
later cheerfully prepared and cooked the entire meal with her casted foot elevated up on a stool, this is now referred to as the "Thanksgiving that almost wasn’t". Thankfully our crappy almost new Frigidaire stove decided to work fine that day!
Now when we unload groceries I run the dogs out of the kitchen until they are called to take inventory of their "Snacks" that my wife always gets them. Not appliance related but a near "Horror" story for sure! She said I looked so sad that she could not possibly "Cancel" Thanksgiving! Three Cheers! Hip Hip Hooray! A chorus of "For She’s a jolly good fellow!"!!!

A grateful husband
We had a turkey we had killed in the spring frozen for Thanksgiving. My mother in-law decided to deep fry rather than roasting. What she didn’t know was that her husband had skinned the Turkey when he killed it. For future reference, NEVER DEEP FRY A TURKEY WITHOUT SKIN!

What was wrong with your oven? I had that same experience this year and the repair guy told me my oven is fine!

Ussually the temp is too high so it cooks on the outside but raw in the middle.
I think i have the same problem, im not sure, though, any insight would be grateful, It wont light, i looked at it, i tried lighting the pilot, i took out the bottom cover, to get to it, but it wont light, and when i have the gas on, no gas, is coming out or my house would smell like it right now. the # on the door for the oven is 8114P351 60
Oh and the ignitor doesnt light up at all
See the problem I just posted about today. 4 days before T-day! :mad:
This Thanksgiving was interesting. The day started off pretty normal but then went down hill a little. The first think that happen was that the vacuum sweeper went pop and the next thing there was nothing but smoke. Well there was no big problem because we had the shop vac that was able to get the job done.
We have a large family but it is easy because we have two kitchens. I placed the second turkey in the older oven only to have the board completely short out in less than a half hour. The oven was 20 years old so I guess it was time for it die. I had to make several phone calls to find one of my firneds who would let me use their oven to finish the turkey. It was interesting cooking between two different houses.
Even with all of this Thanksgiving really wasn’t a horror story. However I have a large family with 6 sisters and 7 sister in laws and today was our cookie bake. Thus I talked my husband into going to Lowe’s on Friday to buy a new oven. He was nice about it and went at 5:00 AM to buy the one I had picked out on their web site.
Since they could not deliver in time he had taken the truck to bring it home. The one I wanted was not in it’s box but was shrink wrapped waiting to be place on the floor. He had them place it in the truck and started home - however he forgot one thing - he did not secure the oven. So needless to say the oven tip over into the tail gate busting the front glass.
The good news was that the oven was no worse for wear and still worked. Now here is where the day really went well. He order the new glass yesterday. Today we started baking using the new oven. At 12:00PM a delivery truck shows up and they have the new glass. It took him 15 mins to install the glass and now everything is like it should be.
Thank you Appliance Parts Pros.com for great service. He order the part around 10:00Am yesterday and the part was deliver to PA and installed by 12:30PM.
Has anyone had a entire group of relatives over with Holiday songs playing on the radio and they start playing the song "grandma got run over by a reindeer", or some other disgusting song.

HOW DID YOU FIX???:(My oven seems to light and broil looks good but oven portion when set you smell gas and keeps at a low varying tempature after replacement of thermastat temp contol knob.What is making this happen still?Sounds like I have same problem here.
I have a maytag oven model; MGR4451ADQ that will not light. I took off the door, took out the racks, and removed the floor board and heat shield. I turned the stove on and nothing lights up down below and no sound of gas either. Up top when I hit bake and pick a temp it looks like it’s going to work, then makes a clicking sound (I’m assuming that is the thermometer engaging) and just reads 100 (for the temp) without making any other noises, no smell of gas, and nothing ignites or gets hot down below.
Please let me know your thoughts. . . .
Thanks, Andy

The main problem I am having is the oven igniter glows bright orange. but won’t light.
-
Also been having issues with range top burners… intermittently the ignitor wouldnt produce the sparks to light a burner. (no clicking noise)
I am on my 2nd auger (agitator) the part keeps coming apart and I need to find out why? Are there additional screws needed besides the one screw that screws the auger into the base? Please help, I have to return my 2nd auger because it keeps coming apart.
We were over at a friends for a Halloween party and pizza was on the menu. For some reason the lady of the house locked her oven for cleaning mode. :eek: The oven was locked for 4 hours without a chance to open it. :rolleyes: We had to run accross the street to some nice neighbors to cook the pizza. The kids were happy and we had some good jabs at the lady of the house. She was so embarised but took it well.:o
Hello I have a magic chef oven model CGR374OADW, I need to replace the ignitor. The top burners work but the inside stopped working after I did a self clean. Can you send me the model number for the ignitor and the over schematic? Thank you
Hi, sounds like i’m having the same igniter issue but can’t find a model number. Any suggestions on how to get the right replacement?
