Maytag *gas* oven modelÂ*Â* MGR5765QDB

We are having trouble with our Maytag electric range and it is due to
faulty control (clock) panel and sensor in the oven.Â* It was signaled
by an error code.Â* Unfortunately electronics have shorted the lives
of today's appliances.Â* Previous oven had similar problem and repair
only lasted a year so we are looking for a new one.

If I were to do the repair myself, I would go to youtube videos for
help.

I see clock, like mine, is an expensive part:

Looking like our sensor from the video, this was first thing repairman
tried and it only lasted 3 weeks.Â* Now he wants to put in a clock..Â* No
thanks.




Thanks for the fast reply.

To start out I have now checked the sensor and it measures approx 1 K
ohm which should be normal.


looks like the main control which is about $235


If I replace it myself and that does not solve it I'm screwed.


It's 14 years old so maybe time for new.


Will sleep on this




Did not sleep long, a whole new oven is $400

looks like I might as well just replace it



IDK, is it really worth sinking $235 into a $400+ oven that's 14 years old?
And you're not 100% sure it's the control board, right?
I guess if it turns out it's not the board, you can sell it on Ebay
and get most of your money back.
