I have a Maytag stove that is 5 years old. Model CGR3740ADL. The top burners and the broiler works but the oven tiself does not lite or go on. I looked at the heating element and it does not glow at all. Everything else works. Should I replace the heating element? Thankyou. Alibaba PS I am calling the element that runs along side the gas tube in the oven section the heating element.
THANKS FOR THE ADVISE ESPECIALLY HANDLING THE GLOW BAR WITH CARE. tHE MOST DIFFICULT PART OF THE JOB WAS REMOVING ONE SCREW, I HAD TO CUT IT. THE cost of the glow bar was $49.99

Hello: Alibaba_z
Yes. Replace the hot surface glow ignitor if it is not glowing. Be sure the control panel selections are all correctly set. Also insure there is electric power to the entire appliance.
If you are handy with using a voltage meter, you could check for current at the terminal end which the ignitor connects into.
Loosen or remove the screws securing the glow ignitor. Follow the two wires attached to the ignitor. At the end farthest from the ignitor will be a wire pull apart quick disconect.
Disconnect the ignitor at that point. Install the new ignitor exactly as you found the existing coil. Replace each part in reverse order. Plug in the appliance and turn it on. The burner now should work.
Be advise that some new replacement ignitors do not come with quick disconnect ends. In this case, it's okay to cut off the quick disconnect from the old ignitor and attach it to the new ignitor.
Simple clip off the wires several inches above the disconnect on the old ignitor, attach to the wires of the new ignitor and wire nut the two ends together.
Repeat the process to attach the other set of wires and wire nut them together. There is no postive nor negative {polarity} to be concerned with.
Glow ignitors are fragile & they break easily. Handle and install the new ignitor carefully. Glow ignitors are a non returnable and non refundable electric componet.

Also read several other questions in this forum on the subject of ovens which do not heat, etc. Doing so will provide you with enough information to determine what the problem is and how to correct it.
