Maytag Stove turns off on its own

When your Maytag stove turns off by itself, the problem is usually a failing touchpad, a loose or damaged power connection, or a control board fault. Start by checking whether the buttons respond intermittently or not at all. A faulty touchpad can make the stove shut down and should be replaced. On an electric range, inspect the power cord connections at the terminal block. Loose or burnt terminals can overheat, melt wire insulation, and cause intermittent power loss. Replace damaged terminal block or power cord parts, and have a licensed electrician check a damaged receptacle. If a surface element starts working again after you turn its dial off and back on or select another heat setting, the control board may be failing. Next, inspect the wire connectors and wire harness for loose connections, breaks, or burn marks. Less common causes include a defective relay board, which controls power to heating components, or a main control board with loose connections or a failed relay. Disconnect power before inspecting or replacing parts. Enter your Maytag model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific stove or range.

02 - Maytag Range/Stove/Oven Power Cord

If the power cord connections in the terminal block on your electric range are not secure the wire can overheat, burning the connections on the terminal block, and melting the coating on the wires. Check to ensure the connections are tight and not burnt. If the terminal block connectors are burnt, the terminal block should be replaced. If the power cord terminal connectors are burnt or damaged, the power cord should be replaced. If the power cord prongs are burnt, a new power cord should be installed and the receptacle checked and replaced if necessary by a licenced electrician.

03 - Maytag Range/Stove/Oven Control Board

If the stove surface element starts working again when the surface element dial or control is turned off and back on or to a different heat setting, it's likely that the control board is the cause of the stove turning off on its own. You should confirm that the surface element control is functioning normally and the appliance's power cord and terminal block are in good condition before considering a control board replacement.

05 - Maytag Range/Stove/Oven Relay Board

Some ovens are equipped with a relay board. The relay board has several relays which control the electrical current to the heating element, and other components of the stove. If one or more of the relays on the relay board has failed, the oven may shut off. If the relay board is defective, replace it.

06 - Maytag Range/Stove/Oven Main Control Board

The main control board sends power to all the components in the stove. If the control board connections are loose, or burnt, or the control board is turning off on its own, one of the relays or other components may be bad and the control will need to be replaced.
