# Maytag stove showing ES

On some Maytag stoves, Energy Save puts the display and clock to sleep.

## What ES actually means.

On some Maytag stoves, Energy Save puts the display and clock to sleep. After five idle minutes the display shows ES and On twice, then goes blank until you press a key or open the door. ES can look like E5.

Maytag stove display · also shown as E5

What to do when ES shows on the stove

### Kind of code Mode, not a failure

Something the stove was switched into, often by accident, rather than something that broke: a control lock pressed while wiping the panel, a Sabbath setting, a showroom demo mode that lights the display and heats nothing, a reminder that a spot on the stovetop is still hot. No part is worn out, and the stove's own keys put it right.

### Usually leads to No repair

Press Bake or Broil, or open the oven door, to wake the display.

### Shows up as Stove Display Blank or Flashing

The clock and display on the stove have gone dark, or they flash the time, a word or a string of characters and ignore the keys you press.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Maytag's own guidance for ES on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Press Bake or Broil, or open the oven door, to wake the display.

02

To turn Energy Save off, press and hold CLOCK for ten seconds until ES and Off show.

03

If the display stays blank after that, reset power and book a visit if it does not return.

### Cleared?

The stove is working again and no part was needed. If the same letters come back while a burner or the oven is on, or the stove switches itself off again in the middle of dinner, book it as a new problem.

### What not to do

ES is not a failed display. It is a power-saving sleep that someone turned on.

## What you may notice with it.

The stove problems ES tends to arrive with. Answer these at the stove before anyone is booked.

## Questions about ES.

### Can I clear ES myself?

### Why does my Maytag display go blank by itself?

Energy Save may be on. The display sleeps after five idle minutes.

### Is E5 on my Maytag an error code?

On these models it is usually ES, the Energy Save signal, which can look like E5.

### How do I stop my Maytag display from going dark?

Press and hold CLOCK for ten seconds until ES and Off appear.
