The upper oven on my 3-year-old Maytag Gemini electric oven will preheat and then emits 2 beeps and shuts off shortly after correct temperature has been reached. Sometimes I can turn it back on and it cooks for about 15 minutes, then shuts off again and I cannot turn it back on at all. It also is taking longer to cook things--not sure it is reaching full temperature. Bottom oven is fine. This all began after I cleaned the oven. I thought Maytag was supposed to be such a reliable product!

carol9950 Did it show any error codes on the display? What is the complete model number and the serial number of your range? You can find them behind the control panel on the right side. Gene.

I have the same issue with our Maytag Gemini double oven. It's model number is MER6755AAS. It does not display any codes. It will preheat and then as soon as it does, it will beep twice and shut off. Both ovens were working fine and then we used the self cleaning and now the top one does this, but the bottom one still works fine.
I've procrastinated on this pretty badly and it's probably been like this for well over a year, but the wife wants this fixed NOW! :)
I've read that it could be the board or a sensor. Any help to narrow down the cause would be awesome.
Thanks!
Matt

Hi Matt, Most likely the problem is a bad control board. You have to order the overlay because it's glued on. - The control board Part number: AP4358958

UPDATE 12/12/12 <--had to do this just cause it looks cool.
OK, so I FINALLY got around to ordering this board and overlay a month or so ago. Just put it in tonight and it preheated and 5 minutes later it shut off again :( Must have been the temperature sensor. Guess I'm trying that next. I'll let you know if that works. Anyone have a part number for me??
Thanks!

Yes it did preheat to 425. It stayed on for about 5 minutes. I wasn't watching to see what it said at the exact second it beeped and shut off. It was just the temp and time like always.
Thanks!

If it was the temperature shown too then why you believe it shut off? I'm confused. Normally the heating element in the oven should cycle on & off in order to maintain the set temperature. So, for the heating element to be off after the preheat was done is pretty normal. I would like you to explain more detailed what is wrong. Gene.
