Good day,
I have an aAmana Electric Slide-In Smoothtop Easy Touch Control 700 range, The oven will not work as the touchpad control is not functioning at all. The error code is "CAL". The oven fan is running and does not stop. The stovetop is working however. Please advise
Hi rablef,
I would recommend you check your fuse or breaker box for a blown fuse or tripped breaker. If you are only getting one leg of your 220 volts the you will have the problems you have listed. If you have no breaker or fuse problem you should then check your range cord for possible shorts or hot spots. Then work your way to the terminal block on the range. It definately sounds like you are only getting 110 volts to your range. I hope this will FixYa.
Good luck, Mike

The first step to fixing the inner element of a Maytag Precision Touch Control 800 Electric Slide-In Smoothtop is to check the power supply for the range. Make sure all connections are secure and that the outlet is working properly. If the power supply is fine, then you may need to replace the inner element on your range. It would be advisable to consult the manual

The heating coils in the oven need to be inspected very carefully where they plug in to the oven wall. You will need to remove the back covers and check the insulators and wiring harnesses. Over time the insulation can break down and oxidize the metal connections. You can use a voltmeter or test light to verify that the coils are getting voltage from the thermostat/switch. replacing parts is cheaper than buying new if you can find the parts.
Hi. Been there. You will have to take it apart so you can see the panel. it should have a fuse on it. It could be bad. Or mo voltage going to it. Or hold on........The board is bad
As you are facing the range, there should be a metal plate (held on by one screw) on the left hand side behind the console. Model and serial number should be located here. On some models the information will be along one side of the oven door opening, or bottom drawer. Hope this helps you.
