I had the same problem. Gradually it got worse until only Bake ' Cancel work. Sometimes the problem is due to bad ribbon cable connections; sadly, with this oven, the issue is the membrane buttons having failed. It's frustrating, because this has happened with every version of this model that I have seen. Add to this that the membrane buttons are behind a sealed panel that you can't access without breaking it, and you'll quickly learn that you need to buy the replacement part. 5765M483-60 is the matching control unit, but make sure with the vendor that it is the right size for your unit first; it's expensive. It's also now out of stock and is a 2-3 month special order at most vendors. The replacement is tedious, but simple and approachable for a first time DIY'er. At this point, I'd rather buy a new replacement oven instead, but finding 27" models is difficult as most are 30" now, which won't fit my cabinetry - thus I bit the bullet and bought the replacement control unit. Oven came with the house on purchase; former owner told me she had already done the same repair once before; so that means this problem will keep recurring.

It could be that your lower element is burnt out or ready to
burn out. They last 3-5 years depending how much you use your
stove.
Disconnect POWER to the stove, remove the screws holding the lower element to
the back of the inside of the stove, pull out carefully and remove the 2 screws
holding the wires on. Check the element with an ohm meter, it should read
0 (zero or very close) resistance on an ohm meter. You may also take it
to a store that sells replacements ($25) and they may check it for you.
I have the same problem. I can't see how maytag can say there are no quality issues since they don't track how many calls they get about the same problem.
Usually,
when an oven won't bake, it's because the bake element is burned out.
The bake element is the black, pencil- thick tube at the bottom of the
oven. When the oven heats, the element glows red. This element has an
expected life-span of several years. It may last for only one; it may
last for many more. When the element burns out, you need to replace it.
