 Someone on a message board I follow has this oven. It's in a house they bought, no user manual. He hasn't (yet) found the model/serial tag. He claims there's no way to separately control the two ovens. They both turn on to the same temperature. That of course is unacceptable for the energy inefficiency when baking a single item, or for baking multiple items simultaneouosly at different temperatures. There are references on the display to a Convect, SpeedClean, Clean, and Lock but no buttons for convection or self-cleaning. Is the display module perhaps used on multiple models and this one doesn't have those functions? Is there really no way to operate the two oven cavities independently? | ||

Here is a PDF user manual for a Maytag gas wall oven with the same control panel and the same 2 door/oven cavity wall oven arrangement

Well being gas I would suppose the lower "oven" is actually the broiler. Just like with a gas range. | ||

There are only the three photos I copied. Mention of potatoes baked in the upper oven, salmon in the lower during the final 20 mins of the potatoes. He emphasized that the unit is electric with heating elements in both cavities when others questioned if it's gas, but he has not provided photos of the interiors and says he cannot find a model/serial tag on it. A new oven unit is on order, presumably electric. | ||

They are seeing the orange glow from the gas igniter and assuming it’s electric. This oven was made with both the smaller sized broiler and this larger sized one presumably to fit an existing cut out for replacement purposes. | ||

This configuration was made in electric with the top oven self cleaning controlled by the electronic control (clock) and the bottom oven standard clean with a regular thermostat. There would be a round control knob toward the right side of the panel. | ||

Maytag 24 inch gas wall oven
Hi Glenn, the references you referred to and shown in photo three on your original message for things like clean Speed clean convect are not used on this oven. They never light up. They just use the same vacuum fluorescent display in many different controls.
Neat seeing the brochure that covered this oven Chris, thanks it just reminds us of what junk Maytag was peddling to the public back in the 90s and the reason for their eventual demise. This oven was nowhere close to the quality of a GE, Thermidor, and several others. The only reason they produced it at all is because they needed a 24 inch oven, but they should’ve let this product go completely or redesign it, it’s comical when they talk about the excellent engineering quality that goes into this junk product. And these ovens never baked particularly evenly. You would never be able to bake four pies like they show or two sheets of cookies and have them coming out looking anything alike, lol. John | ||

Maytag gas wall oven
Hi Chris, the model we’re talking about in this picture pictured in Glenn’s thread does not have a perimeter heating element around the burner, some manufactures have done that to even out the broiling performance that’s only done on the broil burners.
I definitely agree with you that hot surface igniters are a very energy intensive way of lighting a gas burner because the igniter stays on the whole time the burner is burning, we are talking about less than 400 W not 1000 however, the other problem with hot surface igniter is they’re not very durable. We figure if a customer uses their oven every day. They’re only gonna get 3 to 5 years out of one of those igniters And any repair cost money so you’re gonna be out about 200 bucks every 3 to 5 years if you use your oven a lot. I don’t know where that center picture came from in the link you posted but that burner with the extra heating element is not in that oven when you look up the model number that they’re trying to sell, I know that’s an old listing and that oven is course is no longer available.
