until i posted here, i had no idea which part(s) could be defective and or tested, however i still dont know if its the control panel that's faulty, and how much it costs to replace: Maytag Performa Model # PGR5710OBDW Serial # 14344035CC

I agree I need to test the parts with an ohm meter first and start replacing first the temperature probe and ignitor, if falls short on the ohm meter, however I think its the control panel since I can "trick" it to work every time by switching to broil and then back to bake and then it always...

its been helpful in as much as ive learned i have to 'ohm' the ignitors and temperature probe, that being said the rest were guesses, it could still be the control panel and i dont know how much that costs

the problem is youre all guessing at the solution and with my money, the only response that made sense was to test the parts with an ohmmeter, it still may be the control panel thats faulty, how much does that cost?

"I'm not sure you're familiar with this stove, there are 2 ignitors, one for the broiler at the top of the compartment and the baking ignitor below the pan. So when I switch to "broil" the flame and ignitor above go on, and when I go back to "bake" the ignitor and flame below the pan are in use...

I just wanted to make sure you were familiar with this model and that it has 2ignitors. Do the ignitors have get ohm meter reading ?

"An amp meter reading would tell if the ignitor was weak....heating it up with the broil can help...so far it still -sounds- like a weak ignitor. It's the "it shut off and didn't come back on" that is odd." Jeff, I'm not sure you're familiar with this stove, there are 2 ignitors, one for the...

This works every time: So whenever I see the set baking temperature drops, I switch to the oven setting via the clock, after the broiler flame is lit I wait several minutes, then switch back to bake, set the temperature to wherever I need it, after which time the oven will heat up to that...

Yes i know youre correct and i should get the ohmeter/voltage meter and learn how to use it Whose the manufacturer of your 30 yr old furnace? I have a 27 yr old boiler and i'd sure like to get that manual for mine As to the Maytag Performa stove, i'm just speculating on operation, but it...

"Maybe, without testing we may not know for sure.....the sensor shuts off nothing nor does it turn on anything....temp sensor changes resistance to tell the control what is happening and the control turns things on and off......that is why we ohm the sensor...

"but at a temp of about 200 degrees the flame went out and never came back on ..and then what?....the ignitor stayed on?" No the ignitor (and flame) went off, but isn't that in response to the temperature sensor probe in this case falsely telling it to go off?? Isn't that how this...

"Ohming the oven temp sensor is a good idea, still sounds like a weak ignitor to me." Jeff; I dont have an ohmeter, however I took the bottom pan off and set bake to 350 degrees, I watched as the ignitor got bright red and lit the flame, but at a temp of about 200 degrees the flame went out...

I'm appreciative of the tip, should I close the gas before attempting to change the temperature sensor probe, or the ignitor switch? Probably not necessary if replacing temp sensor probe though? "You could cut power temporarily to the oven and see if that also clears the bake temp...

im thinking more like the temperature sensor probe is malfunctioning

Model # PGR5710BDW Maytag Performa GAS RANGE

I have a gas stove a Maytag Performa barely past the 5 year warranty on electrical parts (naturally), and the baking temperature inside the stove does not maintain the temperature setting, if I set the temp to 400 degrees via the electrical setting switch, it will reach that temperature and then...

This Burnham Series 2 boiler is almost 28 years old. If the worst thing I have to do is replace a T-couple every 3-4 years, I'd consider myself lucky. Several years ago I replaced the circulating pump with a Taco model I bought in Home Depot and that's it. I will check for rust buildup in the...

What is the annual maintenance and inspection on a boiler consist of?

I notice that about every 3-4 years I need to replace the thermocouple on my boiler because the pilot light keeps going out. At the same time, I remove the 3 burners, tap and clean out all the rust and debris, and put them back as well. I'm wondering if it's a good idea every year to turn the...

Do you think all the individual shutoff valves to the stove, dryer, boiler & water heater should be closed as well? And that all the gas should be bled from the lines, by running each with the main gas valve closed. This way, there is no gas left in the lines. Or will this make it difficult to...
