I have a Maytag model MER5775QAW free standing range. When you press "bake" and then set the temp. and press "bake" again the numbers instantly climb to the set temp and the buzzer beeps showing oven at temp. The oven does not even turn on. The oven probe has a resistance of 1089 ohms at room temp and increases when place over a heat gun. Any ideas where to look next?

Either an oven temperature sensor or a control issue

Time for the gas valve to open fully can be a few minutes, I've seen them take up to 3 minutes to open, so its not unusual. Hoverer, the temp issue may be due to your burner's gas jets being clogged with ash, etc. Remove the burner and inspect, the holes or jets should be nice and clear, any clogged ones need to be opened use a safety pin or something similar to open, try no to make the hole any bigger then it is. You may also find it may light quicker since there will be less back pressure in the line once the jets are cleaned.

Hello,

I would try this link for a Free Manual to your stove...

Kind regards!

If the model number is correct, changing between Farenheit and Celsius is accomplished by following these steps:

1. Open oven door.
2. Press CANCEL/OFF.
3. Press number pads 1, 2 and 3 in that order.
4. Press BROIL, then START.
5. Press BAKE to confirm.

NOTE: Only the temperature and a flashing degree symbol will display when the oven is set for Celsius.

replace the electronic control board.the power surge may have damaged the boards circuits.

Unplug the range.
Open the oven door.
Remove the racks.
Remove the 2 screws holding the bake element to the rear wall of the range.
Carefully pull the element from the access holes in the rear wall.
Remove the wires from the element.
With your meter set for continuity, put one lead on each element end.
If you get a reading it is good.

If it is good. Replace the wires and reinstall the element.

Pull the range out from the wall.
Remove the rear panels.
Plug the range back in.
Set your meter for 220volts or more.
Careful now because you are working with live voltage.
Set the oven for bake.
Put a lead on each element terminal to check voltage.
If you have 220 volts at the element, unplug the range and unplug the temperature sensor.
Set your meter for ohms.
Check the 2 leads on the temp sensor.
If at room temp the sensor is 1050 - 1100 it is OK. If not replace it.
If the temp sensor checks out OK, replace the ERC

sounds like a bad bake ignitor(uneven heat,long cook times, long preheat times, perhaps even gas smell while cooking)

Press the bake key.
Adjust temperature to 550 degress.
Press the bake key again and hold it for 3 seconds.
The temperature +/- should appear.
You can then adjust temp +/- 35 degrees.
