On a Maytag electric stove with glass touch controls, the Control Lock stops the cooking areas from being turned on by accident. With the stove on, all keys are locked except Power and Off. Maytag stove display What to do when Lock shows on the stove ### Kind of code Knobs, keys and display A key on the panel was held down too long, reported a press nobody made, or stopped answering; or a knob's switch told the stove it was on when it was off. Water, a spill or grease worked in behind a knob is ruled out first, then the switch, the key panel and the cable to the board. If a burner keeps heating while the keys or knobs do nothing, switch the stove off at the breaker. ### Usually leads to Knob and switch replacement Stove knobs that are cracked, loose or spin in place, and the switches behind them that leave a burner stuck on high or dead, replaced at the knob, the stem or the switch. ### Shows up as Stovetop Not Heating The burners on an electric, glass or induction stovetop stay cold or warm up only a little, sometimes all of them and sometimes two on one side, while the oven below may still work. ### Make Maytag A Whirlpool Corporation brand whose gas and electric stoves keep things simple. ### Source Maytag product help: Lock, electric Maytag electric stoves with glass touch controls. ## Before you book, in this order.

Touch and hold LOCK for three seconds. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why won't my Maytag glass stovetop turn on? The Control Lock may be on. Hold LOCK for three seconds. ### Can I use the Lock on my Maytag when kids are around? That is what it is for: it stops the cooking areas from being turned on by accident. ### Why do only Power and Off work on my Maytag? Maytag says that is how the Control Lock works when it is set with the stovetop on. --- **[Read on the site: Maytag electric stove with the Lock light on](https://stoverepair.center/error-codes/maytag-lock/)** **[Book a visit with StoveRepair.center](https://stoverepair.center/schedule/)**
