Maytag Stove: My power shuts off when I run my dryer

Fri, 26 Nov 2021 20:18:21 -0700

Hi all,

I'll start by saying that I thought maybe it was the breaker, so I replaced it. But the issue predicts

Whenever I run my dryer, I "trip" the main breaker. But not really. Everything shuts off in the house and I have to manually flip the main off and then back on.

I can run 2 A/Cs, 2 box fans, 2 ceiling fans, the oven and the stove with lights on wherever in the house with no issues at all. But as soon as the dryer is turned on, boom. Power is out. We've tried it with EVERYTHING off in the house with the exception of the kitchen light and still, no power. Sometimes it happens within minutes, sometimes it runs for 20+.

A couple weeks ago it stopped happening for a few days... I honestly don't know what it could be. It's not hooked up to a brand new 30amp 2-pole breaker, the dryer itself is only a couple of years old, and the issue didn't start until a few months ago. I don't know where to even begin troubleshooting...

Any ideas?

Maytag Stove: Glasstop electric stove F1 & F3, beeping, beeping...

Thu, 28 May 2026 01:54:14 -0700

I have an older Maytag glasstop stove (MES5770AAB). The stove top burners work fine. And the oven works some of the time. But if the top burners are used, and then the stove, sometimes it gets up to temperature, then flashes F1 or F3, and beeps until it cools off.

I've changed out the oven temperature sensor with a new one, and its still happening.

At first I thought it was the connection wires- there are two, and because the plastic connectors didn't fit (I stupidly missed the adapter piece in the bottom of the box), I had used wire caps and screwed on the two contact points.

AI (Google Gemini) went on about the wire caps not being true heat compatible wirecaps. So I went back and stripped the wires clean, and connected them with ceramic oven wirecaps, rated for 600'F. Then for good measure, I wrapped the caps in high temperature silicone tape. I then made sure none of the wires behind the oven were touching the back metal panel.

Tried the stove with the back off. IT WORKED.

Tried the top burners, then the stove. IT WORKED.

Put the back panel back on, pushed it back in the corner, and ran the stove one more time

F1, F3, beeping still.

Unplugged, plugged it back in. Ran the stove.

F1, F3, beeping again after it gets up to temperature.

I'm defeated. What in the world could this be? It seems a simple thing but I can't figure it out for anything. Has anyone seen this happen before.

Maytag Stove: Maytag MGS5752BDW stove, only 2 burners spark

Fri, 01 May 2026 21:46:56 -0700

I have a Maytag MGS5752BDW gas stove. Currently, only the front 2 burners produce a spark when any of the 4 knobs are used to turn on stove. After replacing the igniter module, the problem remains. If I change the connections on the igniter module, I can change which burners produce a spark. So I'm thinking the wiring from the igniter module to the burner bases are fine.

What should I check next?

After my last defrost attempt the ice machine was working great for a month. Tempature is correct. Last night I emptied the bin to make extra ice for camping. Woke up to only one load of ice in the bin.
