Jim June 25, 2023 for Model Number JGR8895BDS12 Top oven set to 375. Either won’t go over 100mor very slow. Broiler works fine on this top oven. Replace temperature sensor or igniter?
1 Answer Jim, I would suggest some testing, make sure the oven ignitor is glowing and the oven burner is actually lighting. The temperature sensor can be checked for proper resistance as well. Read More...
Gene January 09, 2023 for Model Number MGR4452BDW You mention to test oven temp sensor 12001655 for resistance - So I figure it is open, shorted, or what resistance is it normally. Is there also a certain resistance range for the ignitor 12400035 to tell if it is defective? My mother in laws oven does not turn on so I am trying to do some internet reading before I go to her house to troubleshoot it for her. Thanks for your help.
1 Answer Hello Gene, the oven sensor should show about 1050 ohms at room temp, 72 deg, the glow ignitor can have an ohm range of 40-400 ohms. If the ignitor is glowing and there is no ignition after about 60 sec the glow ignitor is worn and needs to be replaced. Read More...
Pat P October 13, 2022 for Model Number MGS5752BDB19 When turning oven on at 350 you hear an ignition sound and then another every 10 seconds. Wasn’t staying lit. When I turned on oven again it would not ignite (no sound) at all. Not sure what to replace.
1 Answer Pat P, Start by checking to see if you have power to the ignitor and if so, is the ignitor glowing. If you have power to the ignitor and it is not glowing then it would need to be replaced. If there is no power to the ignitor then it would likely be a control issue. Read More...
Olga Leclair September 01, 2021 for Model Number Magic Chef Stove 3888vvd Oven stopped working, tried to turn on and -F5- came on.after a few min. it starts beeping. Can this be fixed ?
1 Answer Olga, The F5 error code would be caused by a clock assembly that would be corrupt and need to be replaced. The clock is part number 12001603. Read More...
Yvonne March 25, 2021 for Model Number GLEFZ384GCA I was baking, and suddenly oven got very hot. The baking element went out and the broil element came on without me changing to broil. Oven was set to bake 350 degrees.
1 Answer Yvonne, If the broil element come on while baking, the control would need to be replaced. 316557205 Read More...
Dana January 21, 2021 for Model Number JGR8885RDP Preheat oven to 400°. After that, it drops to 140° to 220°. I just brought a temperature sensor but I need to know how to install it.
1 Answer Hello Dana, Sometimes you can get lucky and pull the connector out where the sensor screws in. If the connector will not come out, the unit will have to be pulled out from the wall and remove the rear panel to access the wiring. As a note, if this has to be done, leave the retainers loose so if it has to be changed again, you may be able to change it from the front next time. Read More...
Bobo January 16, 2021 for Model Number MGRH865QDW10 Oven failure to light. Igniter for my Maytag gas oven does not glow at all. Does this mean I definitely need to replace it?
1 Answer Bobo, Based on your information given I would check to see if the igniter has 120vac to it when it should be on, if so then yes the igniter would need to be replaced. If not then you would need further diagnosis to determine why the power is not reaching the igniter. Read More...
J November 30, 2020 for Model Number 3468XTA Magic Chef Gas range Having trouble bringing gas oven temp up to desired heat. But like another question you answered If I put it on 500 - can reach that temp. Temp seems off by over 100 at lower temps. Also having trouble igniting - takes awhile & then does it with a small initial whoosh or boom. Subsequent cyclings on & off are happening without whoosh or boom but temp is dropping too much between them. Plan on replacing ignitor. But are preheating problems a sign of something else beside ignitor -- probe or control board? I tested temp probe - correctly I think & got repeated readings of 1090 at room temp. Can you tell me how to test the wiring to the probe. Am I just to test the other part that slips into the probe connector? What should that test at,1090 ohms? Am I testing for defective wiring or control board? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
1 Answer J, the temperature probe 12001655 can be tested from the control 7601P208-60 (control has been discontinued by the manufacturer) for resistance after unplugging the power cord. In regards to the temperature being off, as the temperature probe tested good, and the unit will reach the proper temperature at a 500°F setting, the issue would most likely be in the main control. For the unit not igniting properly at first, it would be recommended that the burner is thoroughly cleaned as it sounds like there might be blocked ports. If it continues after the burner has been thoroughly cleaned, then it would be a failing ignitor 12400035. Read More...
Nelson Stricklefr June 27, 2020 for Model Number CWG3100AABMM My Maytag oven wall unit I heated it up to 350 degrees and set it to cook for 30 minutes and it probably cooked for 3 or 4 minutes then I believed it flashed a F3 OR F5 code the first time t6hen redid that twice more and got F5 codes both times.A lady there told me to check for resistance on tempory sensore, Do I leave it plugged in to test for it to be between 980 and 1000 or unhook and test.
Thomas March 23, 2020 for Model Number CWG3100AAB What causes an F3 error code on a maytag wall oven?
1 Answer Thomas, The F3 error code will be an open temperature sensor. You will want to test the sensor and wires at the control board. Test this at the 5 pin connector from pin 2 to pin 4 for the resistance of 1090 Ohms. If the sensor does not check ok then the sensor would need to be replaced and if the sensor test ok then the control board will be the issue. Read More...
