So, I tried to reset my clock on the oven this past Sunday and discovered the following numbers on the touch pad do NOT work 2,3,5,0 I'm a bachelor who does not use the oven very often, so it took the time change to discover this problem!

I have no error codes. I cut the power to the oven, removed the front control panel which houses the membrane and two ribbon cables for the touchpad. Tried disconnecting and reconnecting the two ribbon cables from the ERC (Electronic Range Control) twice thinking it may be bad connection from the ribbon cables to the ERC. But upon restoring power to the oven on both occasions, no dice, still no response from 2,3,5,0.

Is the touchpad the most likely culprit or something in the ERC?

Is there a way to test the touchpad, I would need to know which number button wound up at which carbon strip on the ribbon cable to test for continuity while pressing the various buttons.

Thanks in advance for your help Guru's. Tom

Replaced the "touchpad" what Maytag calls the "control panel" and all is well. All number buttons as well as all other buttons on the touchpad work.

Thanks again, Tom
