Hello, and thanks for your help. I have been living with Maytag wall oven that hasn't worked for over a year now and have had enough! :) Only a few of the buttons are operating - CANCEL, TIMER, and FAVORITES. All other buttons do not respond at all when pressed. The digital display itself seems fine. I have done some trouble shooting, including turning off the power for a while hoping for a reset, holding down buttons per the owners manual trying to get it out of a lock mode or sabbath mode, and removing the control panel and reinstalling. Nothing seems to work! Any idea if a new control panel might fix the issue?
Thanks!

Thanks for your help! A new control panel like you show above fixed the problem in less than 15 minutes. My wife is very happy to have the oven available in time for Thanksgiving this year! We made brownies last night to celebrate. I should have tried this a year ago. :D
Nothing to it. Here's what worked for me:
Turn off breaker. Open oven door and remove screws on each side securing oven to the cabinet (there were two on each side for mine). Slide out oven a few inches to gain access to control panel mounting screws. Remove two screws (hex-head) on each side of the control panel. Detach ribbon connections by lifting up while pressing in plastic tabs. Remove two screws (hex-head) on each side that attach the old control panel to the board. Replace with new control panel and attach ribbon connections by gently placing in the slot and press down on the rectangular piece of plastic to lock in place. I gave each one a gentle tug to confirm connection. Reattach control panel to oven. Turn on breaker, confirm everything works again, do a happy dance, and think about how much money you saved by doing it yourself. Slide oven back in place and reinstall mounting scews.
Hopefully this one will last a few years!
