Ok guys bought this stove at lowes roughly a yr ago, Last night we used the oven. Then today i go to cook dinner for my family and nothing… I can set the temp and press start and it displays "pre" for preheat. I just have no heat. I just replaced my 220 outlet about 1 hr ago hoping it would help but no luck.
:mad:
HELP ME i REALLY dont have 500+ to drop on a new stove right now.
I am begining to think this is going to be a big manufacture problem. I have the same issue with my Whirlpoll (WFE361LVB) oven that is only 3 months old, and no one seems to be able to answer what went wrong.
The first thing I checked out was the thermal fuse, which ohm’d out as being good but went ahead and replaced it anyway–nothing–replaced the burner/coil (top & bottom)–nothing.
Now someone says "replace your control board" really!!!
Any other ideas…???:mad:

First check pout the warranty at the Maytag site.
If you start fixing it yourself and something goes wrong then that could void your warranty.
See the attachment for the tech sheet
Looks like the thermal fuse only disconnects the broil element.
If the stove top works and the lights/control then power into the unit is OK.
You may want to check the oven sensor even though the control board should give an error if it is open or shorted.
I doubt this is the problem but it does not hurt to double check.
Here is a good link, check out 7, 8, 20 and 21.

If the wiring in the unit is OK a nd the sensor then odds are that the control board is toast.
