Mike, The hs 133 is a programming/production code for the eeprom chip on the ERC/Clock. Occasionally the code can appear in the display when there has been a power supply issue, but it usually disappears after a few seconds. Since the code is visible, and nothing is working, the W10769079 Electronic Control has failed and will need to be replaced.

Brett for Model Number MER6755AAB

I thought maybe it was a heating element problem but now I'm not sure. I took them both out and tested with a multimeter. The lower oven bake element tests at 22O. I saw on another post you said this should be 30-32O, is this too low? The top oven bake element tests at 30O. Broil setting still works on both top and bottom ovens. When I turn on the bottom oven the lower element does not get hot at all. You can touch it. I am not entirely sure on the top oven. I stopped using it a few months back because I would turn it on to 350°, it would SAY it heated up to the temp in like 2 minutes or so, but the oven was not anywhere near that hot. Maybe 200°. What should I test next? Might be 2 separate issues? Oven Temp Sensor on top oven and bake element on bottom oven?

Hello Brett, This is most likely a failed relay on the control W10769079. This can be diagnosed if you isolate L1 from L2 by pulling one wire loose from the bake element. Make sure the wire cannot contact ground or any other connections and introduce 240Vac to the unit. Check at the wire for 120Vac and check the terminal for 120Vac. One will be L1 and the other L2. The one that is missing will be the side you will have to backtrack with the wiring diagram to pinpoint the issue. If the control is the issue, there will be no voltage on the bake terminal that leads to the bake terminal with the wire still disconnected. Always remember the power is connected and turned on to prevent electrical shock.

Sorry Tim. There was a price increase by the manufacturer and we have no control over those.

Hello Joe. You will need to access the wires going to the lock motor. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html 1. Disconnect the appliance from power source before servicing. 2. Remove main top as outlined in main top removal. 3. Remove the screws securing the side panel at the top and back of frame. 4. Remove the screws securing the rear panel to frame. Remove rear panel. 5. Slide side panel away from the frame at rear and lift out of the slots in front. Remove side panel. 6. Release the bands, securing the insulation wrap, at the bottom. 7. Slide the insulation wrap back. Note: This will aid in guiding the latch assembly in and out. 8. Disconnect the wiring from the lock switches at the rear. 9. Slide the latch assembly out from the rear. To reinstall: 1. Slide latch assembly in from the rear. 2. Guide assembly to front using the side access. 3. Make sure the screw holes of the assembly line up with the screw holes in the frame. 4. Reinsert the screws. Note: Make sure the insulation is back in place when finished. Failure to do so will result in hot spots and poor baking complaints. 5. Reattach band to the bottom of frame. 6. Reconnect wiring to the lock switches. 7. Reinstall the side panel. 8. Reinstall the rear panel. 9. Reinstall the main top.

Jim for Model Number MER6770AAW

My Maytag Gemini bakes for awhile then interrupts baking in the lower oven and the control panel gives an F-1 code, which says to check the upper oven temperature sensor for malfunction. Though the sensor seemed OK, the problem recurred and gave the same code, so I replaced the upper sensor with a new one. Now the same problem is occurring even though the new sensor is fine. Does this mean the control panel is acting up? It seems to work OK. What should I test next, and how?

1 Answer

Jim, You will want to check the wiring between the control and the oven sensor to ensure that the wires are good. If they are good then you would want to replace the control board.

Matt, With the upper element not working and the element and wiring checks ok then you would want to replace the control board. There is no special tool required to replace the board. You may want to use needle nose pliers to pull the terminals off if there is difficulty pulling them off by hand.
