Maytag Range won't heat up oven or cook top

Bought my Maytag range January 2011, so it's not very old. Two night ago I started to cook dinner, turned the oven on to preheat, and started to boil some water. I know that the burner was starting to get hot. Maybe 2 minutes later I noticed a weird smell, almost like a burnt rubber type smell. I opened the oven to check and it wasn't coming from there. The smell went away quickly but then I realized the burner had stopped getting hot and the oven would not heat higher then 215 degrees. What's going on?

You have melted internal wiring, probably some mice ate it. call an electrician and DO NOT USE IT!! turn off at the wall/fusebox

    I should've stated that the lights and panel come on but no heat to either. Still internal wiring? Or the control panel not talking to the heating elements?

Noise went away by itself. No root cause found. Please remove this posting, thanks.

What happens when you turn on the pilot light on a Capital Gas Cooktop and cook with it on

you have just triggered an exothermic reaction of light hydrocarbons and oxygen as a result of introducing an external heat source trigger. Which could possibly result in the cooking of some dinner. Yum.
No worries Barbara, you have done no damage. Unless dinner burned....

Burners wont work any more

Good Morning Fern mullen, I appreciate your post!
Based off what you have described your burners are no longer working on your Frigidaire range. This could be an issue with your control panel or the switch. I would recommend performing a reset on your range and you can do that by disconnecting power from the range for at least ten minutes. If that does not help correct your issue I would suggest having a technician out to your home for a proper diagnosis and repair. Best of luck! -Matt

After a power failure, the clock face went out and there is no power to the duel ovens on a Maytag gemini electric oven. All four burners on the glass flat top work though.

try turning power off at electrical main switchboard for a minute, then back on. reset clock and see how it goes.
otherwise > call the repair man.
