You inadvertently set your range to "Sabbath Mode". The display actually reads "SAB". This is a feature that allows the consumer to disable certain features of the range in order to honor the sabbath. You cannot defeat it by unplugging the range or turning off the breaker either. You will either have to wait 72 hours for the mode to clear, or figure out how to turn it off.

To turn the Sabbath Mode on/off on your range simply press and hold the "Clock" button for 5 seconds. These instructions are on page 15 of your owner's manual.

If you have questions, please post back and let me know. I hope this helps you.

Testimonial: "Thank you sooooo much. Instead of paying a service call, we spent all of about 5 seconds and IT WORKS! We don't have a manuel so thanks very much."

    Thank you so much for the 5AB solution. My grandmother called me in a panic ststating that she broke her oven. So I asked what is the problem. She said that ththere is some error code on her display panel. She gave me the code and I told her that I would look into it. This was yesterday, In the mean time she has had at least 8 people come over to try to fix the oven. I am just getting around to looking into this matter and here is the answer. So I just called her and told her to hold the clock button in for 5 seconds and see what happens. Well you would have ththought she struck gold. She started screaming "it's working"and thanking me. So thank you for posting the resolution.

Maytag Oven. The bake do not heat, the broil is ok. what is the problem ?

Look at the wiring diagram... The manual reset Thermal Limiter Switch (part number 74008715), located on the lower rear insulation retainer can keep both elements from working, not one at a time... I would inspect the back of the bake relay for a burnt/failing solder joint. Swapping the BAKE and BROIL leads is an acceptable test, but if you put the bake leads on the broil and still get no heat: check the control relay. If the broil leads will not heat the bake element, you have a bad element or bad connection. Be sure to do all testing of the elements with at least one wire detached so as not to red a back circuit.

Maytag double electric oven. we turn on to bake and would switch to broil then will turn off.

Assuming this is on a gas range, the bake burner ( under the oven floor) and the broil burner ( at the top of the oven) have electric igniters . When switching from bake to broil the broiler goes off due to a defective or broken broil igniter. cheap part to replace ( +-$40.00)

Maytag performa code: 5Ab

Your range is probably in the Sabbath mode. The error code shown on the display is"Sab", not "5ab".

Press and HOLD the clock pad for 3 seconds to disable the sabbath mode. The range will return to normal functions.

No heat on the upper oven bake and broil elements

I gather you are measuring voltage with respect to the chassis ground?

Shows the internal wiring for the unit. The parts are rather expensive and some are no longer available.
