My Maytag Gemini double oven/stove caught fire twice underneath the ignitor knobs. Yesterday was the bigger of the two and really scared me. My two small children were home and it could have been really bad. Luckily, my father was there and handled the problem. I am now afraid to use my oven/stove at all. I have read similar complaints and and am amazed that Maytag is not doing anything. Any Advice is greatly appreciated. Claire at [email protected] PS service men are perplexed

F9-3 code means the latch on the oven is faulty. http://www.partstore.com/GetModel.aspx?MfgName=Maytag&BrandName=Maytag&ModelNumber=MER6772BAQ&PartCategoryName=&Keywords=latch

F-1 error is a Temperature Runaway. It Maytag's way of letting you know that oven overheated. Nothing you have done but it may have shorted out the oven sensor or the keypad. Check the sensor and see if it's closed. If it's okay, replace the keypad.

My experience with this is that it occurs when moisture gets into the ignitor area and shorts out the open and causes the spark. It stops after it drys out.

This is very non-techinical and I will defer if there is a deeper solution.

SOURCE: Oven will not heat

Hello, your problem is going to be a bad igniter. you should replace it. Good luck! Mike

I am attaching a Gemini manual. The checking procedures are the same for your oven.
Two component suspects for your problem would be the door latch mechanisms and the oven temperature sensors.
