What POWER LOSS
actually means.
When power comes back after an outage, a Maytag stove shows Time, 12:00 or POWER LOSS. Any cooking in progress stopped, and the clock has to be set again.

What to do when POWER LOSS shows on the stoveKind of codeMode, 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.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Maytag's own guidance for POWER LOSS on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Press CANCEL to clear the display.
Set the time of day.
If the message keeps coming back without an outage, book a visit to check the supply and control.
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
POWER LOSS is not a broken stove. It only tells you the power was interrupted.
