Default Maytag digital oven control problem


"ms" wrote in message
...
I wanted to clean the oven on the weekend, and after pressing the lock or
clean button on the control panel, none of the oven controls work any more
other than the clock was still functioning.

I unplugged the stove from the power for about an hour, and then

reconnected
again. Now, not even the clock is working. Whenever I push any button, the
only display that is visible is the word "OFF" in orange letters.

My question is this. Is there a reset proceedure for the control panel? Or
does it sound like this oven control panel needs to be replaced?

The range was purchased new at a Scratch and Dent Auction. The auctioneer
removed all serial / model numbers so nobody could claim warrenty.

Therefore
I don't know the model except for the last 6 numbers: ____770ACW. The

range
was manufactured in 2001, and is a 30' single-oven free standing range.

The LCD display has green numbers, and has a membrane control pad mounted

on
a electronic circuit board with a flex circuit between the control pad and
the pcb board.

Thanks evereyone.



The Maytag service tech. showed up today and fixed the digital oven control.
On the lock button for the door there is a numeral "3" below the icon of the
lock. All he did was hold down the lock button for three seconds and
"presto" the oven control and clock is working like a charm. Go figure. At
least the service call was cheaper then me guessing on my own and buying a
new oven control.

The service tech. has no idea how I managed to screw up the oven control
like that. At least we get to eat turkey Xmas day. Whew.
