I have misplaced my owners manual for my Maytag MER5770 Electric Kitchen Range and I need to run the oven self-clean cycle. Can you give me directions on how to do this?

Try the Maytag website under customer service. They usually will have the owners manuals You will need the model number.

Roger. Thank you for the correct model number ! That helped! Your model has a high limit safety thermostat located either in the back of the range or under the cooktop. The service manual does not specify where, but on previous service calls, we find them usually in the back of the range, behind the metal back panel. This has gone bad. Usually after a self clean. 71001844 THERMOSTAT, HI-LIMIT - $43 and simple to replace.

Yes you should be able to but there are a couple things to consider. When the oven is in the self-cleaning cycle the heating element reaches a very high tempature and runs for extended periods. So if you have a couple top burners going the amperage draw could possibly trip the electrical breaker. Also there is a lot of heat generated around the range during the cleaning cycle and it may be to hot to actually work around the range. There are some ranges that dis-able the top burners during the self-clean cycle. If that is the case with your range then the answer would be no. The way you would know for sure is to try them during the self-cleaning cycle or consult your owners manual.

You can fix this problem by just cleaning the ribbon cable.Never use the self clean.

To reset door latch, press "cancel" to clear F9 code. Depress and hold oven door light switch (plunger style on door frame). Latch should reset.

check your element if thats fine u need to replace your erc and possibnly your oven sensor

There's a sprung steel retainer clip holding the cover in place. Use a small screwdriver to pry it downward, the clip will release and the cover can be pulled straight off.
