My oven will not come on and is showing the message 5A6. Could you tell me what this might be?

Hi,

restart the oven and check if the message shows up. Also, switch between modes on your machine and check if it affects the bottom oven. Thank you.

Check this out Lesa... Maytag Oven SAb error code

Needs clock re-set

temperature ntc failing will need replacement.

Hello Rose,
Hello,
The error code F4 are code that mean their is a problem with the oven tempature sensor and that sensor is uncappable of telling the control board what the temp. is in the oven. This is what the sensor looks like,To check the sensor,unplug it and place meter leads into the white plastic plug at the end and check for between 1060-1100 ohms of resistiance when its good.


The F4 error code is for sensor that has a open circuit,so instead of the 1060-1100 of a good it the display on the meter will show infinate resistiance ( the meter display will not change)

If at room tempature when checking the oven sensor if the display shows anything other that 1060-1100 ohms the sensor is going to be the problem and needs to be replaced.

power down the unit at the circuit breaker for an hour or so and see if this clears the memory,otherwise try pressing stop/cancel or any combination of these types of end buttons at the same time to cancel the error message

Your range is probably in the Sabbath mode. The error code shown on the display is"Sab", not "5ab" or "5A6.

To disable the Sabbath mode push and hold the Clock pad for 3 seconds

You have inadvertently entered the Sabbath Mode.
Try holding the clock button for 5 seconds to clear it out.

the problem is the sensor in the oven this a probe looking item they are costly so tell the landlord

Unplug this unit for 3 minutes. if the control fault still exists after the 3 minute reset, replace the affected control board.
