Possibly the ignitor for the main oven burner has failed--
An observation question:
When the Broiler 'lights' and comes on, do you notice the ignitor glowing bright, before the gas valve (to the Broiler) opens, and you get the Broiler lighting---
Now-- for the main burner to come on, -- there has to be a similar bright glow from the MAIN BURNER ignitor, before its main burner gas valve can open-- No Ignitor?-- No ignition, and not Main Oven burner!
Let me know what you need from this point on --

Your Maytag wall oven is equipped with
pilotless ignition. Heat from the Glow Bar
ignitor lights the oven burner. With this type of
ignition system, the oven will not operate
during a power failure or if the wall oven is
disconnected from the wall outlet.
if it is plugged in and everything, your glow bar may be broken, which would mean you will either need to replace it, or get professional service.
F1 error?
Hi,
The F1 code indicates that:
a. The electronic range control (ERC) is sensing heat in the oven when in a time-of-day (i.e., not cooking) mode.
b. The ERC is receiving information to run multiple heat functions simultaneously.
Although different components (depending upon the model) could generate the code, simple and straightforward testing using your ohm meter is all you gotta do to test for it.
1. Check the oven temperature sensor. The oven sensor has to be within spec or it will cause the F1 code.
As an example of being out-of-spec, the ERC will generate an F1 fault code when the sensor shows 1650 ohms during a time-of-day mode.
This is equivalent to 350°F in the oven.
The resistance isn't high enough to generate an F2 code (runaway temp) or an F3 or F4 code (shorted/open sensor circuit).
The ERC monitors the sensor circuit after a heat cycle and expects the resistance to drop back to 1050-1100 ohms.
The fault code is generated when this doesn't happen. Checking the sensor circuit means also checking the harness,
harness connections and the sensor itself.
2. If the oven sensor circuit checks okay, then turn your inquisitive eyeballs to the touchpad.
If the range has a separate touchpad/keyboard, the keypad may have moisture that is shorting several circuits simultaneously.
If the F1 code is given immediately (instead of during or after a heat cycle),
remove the ribbon connector from the touchpad to the ERC after clearing the F1 code. If the F1 code does not return in five minutes,
then cast a suspicious gaze upon the touchpad/keyboard. Shorts may be caused by using an ammonia-based glass cleaner.
The touchpad surface will absorb ammonia-based cleaners that are sprayed directly on the glass surface. When heat is applied,
the surface material can break down causing shorts.
If you're gonna use ammonia-based cleaners on your control panel, then you should spray it on the rag and then wipe the touchpanel
-don't spray directly onto the surface of the touchpad.
3. On Amana ranges with a rotary temperature dial, be sure that the knob is in the OFF position when performing tests.
4. If these tests all check good, then replace the ERC.

Hi, it seems you have a bad bake igniter...
Remove the oven floor, the flame spreader and the bottom drawer. Locate the Bake igniter wire harness plug and unplug it. Check for 120VAC to the igniter while the control calls for Bake. If there is proper voltage then the igniter has to be replaced.

Hello,
You can set the timer on a single oven slow cooker to automatically switch to a warming setting when you estimate foods will finish cooking.The programmable features allow you to leave food stewing at home while
you are out of the house, freeing up your day. Set the timer on a
Corningware slow cooker to let the kitchen appliance do all the work, and come home to a fully cooked meal.
INSTRUCTION BELOW.
Fill
the insert of the single oven slow cooker with food and cover it with
the lid. At least a quarter of the insert should be filled with liquid
to keep the environment moist during long cooking times.
2
Press
the "On/Off" button on the left side of the electronic control panel in
the front of the appliance. This will turn on the slow cooker to the
low heat "Warm" setting.
3
Press
the "Cook Time" button on the right side of the electronic control
panel to add hours to the timer which will show a total time in hours
with a red digital display. Continue to press the button until the
display indicates the desired cook time in one-hour increments up to 10
hours. The cooker will automatically adjust the temperature setting
based on the amount of time you programmed on the timer. Cooking times
of six hours or less automatically start on "High" heat and times of
seven hours or more will start on "Low" heat. A small indicator light
will come on below the word to tell you the cooking temperature.
Please rate this solution after use.
Thank you and thanks for using fixya.
My oven will not preheat and the broiler does not
The problem is usually the igniter not reaching the correct amp draw .When the igniter does not reach the correct amp draw it may allow the gas valve to partially open or not open at all. The igniters are inexpensive and easy to replace. There is a video at http://appliancehelponline.com/gasoventroubleshootvideo.html this will walk you thru the correct procedure for performing this test. It may be a different model but the testing will be the same.You can also enter your model # for diagrams and illustrations of your specific model. Not all models are available. All parts come with installation instructions.

Hi,
Just because it glows that does not mean it is not bad...
The ignitor is not working right and is going bad....
have the repair man replace the ignitor, or DIY....

Oven Problems Replacing the Igniter

Maytag oven dosen't come up to set temperature
The fact that it heats at all indicates the element is functional. The thermostat will be the problem. Normally there are about 4to6 wires connected to the thermostat. Not saying you are not competent, but each model has a specific no. on the thermostat and must be replaced accordingly (might have auxillery switches which wont be on another etc).Current on the stove is lethal. Suggest a technician, but at least you know what the problem is and wont be charged for other things.
The alarm turn on by itself when the oven is off,
Faulty signal that is going to the alarm driver to trigger off the alarm. The possible fault is the switching circuit, possible a leak in this semiconductor that is causing this issue.
You will need to go back to trace from the alarm buzzer backward to the driver. Since all other features are working fine, it can be only the faulty trigger.
Disconnect alarm if you think the fault is beyond you to avoid this annoying fault.
