Source model text: Precision Touch 850 series. Incident: my Maytag Gemini stove, tripped circuit breaker. I turned the breaker back on and started to bake something. I began to smell my pie burning after 10 and checked on it, it was totally burned. I turned off and thought that would fix problem. It began to be really hot in the room. I opened the oven again and it was so hot and it it was still on,even though the control panel was off. I had to turn off circuit breaker again. It was 10 years old. Decided it was too dangerous to replace, so bought a different brand.

Incident: I have a maytag gemini double oven with a broiler feature in the top oven. The broiler sets fire to food/pans in it very easily. A couple times it has been very small and gone out on its own. Today it was big enough that we needed a fire extinguisher to put it out. I have never had this issue with other ovens in my life. I always use the broiler on the lowest setting also.

Incident: I turned on the top oven broiler to the temperature of 400. I rarely use this as a broiler. I was letting it warm up when I heard a popping sound. I looked at the oven and saw a fire and sparks. I turn the oven off. When it cooled down I saw that the broiler coil had broken into pieces. The oven was empty at the time.

Incident: I wanted to alert you to a possible FIRE HAZARD in an electric oven/stove that I own (Maytag Gemini series), and whose model number is MER6872BAS. Recently, the rocker-type switch on the right side of the control panel that allows the user to switch between a large and a small stove burner (manufacturer's Part #74006467) became "frozen"/inoperable. Around that time it was noticed that an electrical burning smell was experienced but the source was never pinpointed. Upon further investigation, it was found that the switch apparently became very overheated and actually melted the interior components of the switch as well as the exterior housing.

Incident: About 1 year after we purchased the range, the safety valve was leaking and had to be replaced. A few weeks ago the electronic ignitions just started to go off and not stop until I unplugged the range. When I called Magtag I was told that if the burners were wet or out of place that could cause that to happen. I expressed my concerns if this happened and no one was home, what could happen! Well today, the ignitions did that again, they continued to keep clicking away. I was in the other room, by the time I got to the kitchen there was a puff of smoke from one of the burners and then then a fire surrounding the dials. This also blew the circuit breaker. This could have been disasterous if I were not home to put out the fire and unplug the range.

Incident: I have a Maytag Gemini double gas 30" oven... about 2 months ago, it started turning on by itself and heating up to 350 or 375... out of the blue it will just automatically turn on at any time. I am the only owner as I bought it new from LOWES. After I figured out what was happening, I tried to do a reset where you unplug it for about 10 minutes and plug it back in, but it started doing it again about 3 days later. I don't use is a lot, but it shouldn't do it at all. I'm told it's a problem with the control board, keypad, but it looks very clean inside and no burns. I cannot use my oven now for anything because I had to turn off the gas to it. I have also tried to leave it unplugged for a long period of time and then plugging it back in with the gas off, but it still tries to turn itself on. This seems to be a huge potential for a fire to happen and it should be recalled in my opinion model.. MGR6875ADS

Incident: On February 11, 2012, my Maytag double oven MGR6875ADS, caught on fire, caused by a faulty electrical panel in the back of the oven. (the electric switch that ignites the gas oven) The fire started to shoot out of the upper right hand side of the oven. Luckily the fire alarms went off, and we were able to put out the fire before my entire house went up in flames. The oven was bought in 2006. Back 3 years ago, we had a Maytag repairman come out and switch out the electrical switch, that powers on the gas oven, he replaced the convection fan as well. 3 years later, the unit caught on fire. Looking at the internet, I spotted the there had been a voluntary recall on this product 2 years before I had ever bought the oven, and Maytag/Whirlpool failed to keep from selling the faulty oven. There are numerous stories on the internet that tell you of customers being shocked, burned, and flames breaking out in these ovens... The house damage was just under 10,000, and all that Whirlpool is willing to offer me is $600.00 toward my new oven. So Whirlpool, depreciated my oven 65% over 5 years. I wanted to send this out to let everyone know, that Whirlpool was not even willing to take care of my insurance deductible, much less replace my appliance that burned up, or give me money to buy a new one to replace the one that burned, due to their negligence, and lack of recalling all ovens. Whirlpool will also be quick to tell you that Maytag in 2005 is not them. Just an FYI for all future Maytag

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20190619-E313A-2147380322. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: Maytag Maytag Gemini MGR6875ADS (dual oven gas range). Incident: The gas range is a Maytag Gemini and is about 15 years old. It was plugged in but turned off. No burners or oven were on. We heard the clicking sound of an igniter for about 5 seconds (igniters are used to create spark to light a particular stovetop burner). We then heard popping noises and smoke began to emanate from the stovetop on the right side of the range top by the burner controls. I opened the upper oven and there was fire visible to the right side through the clear lens for the oven interior light, again on the side proximal to the burner controls. I was able to move the range and unplug it; however the smoke continued. I had a fire extinguisher on hand, but the fire went out on its own after about 10 to 20 seconds. There was a distinct smell of an electrical fire in the room. I turned off the gas valve leading to the range. After 30 mins to be sure it do not reignite, I inspected the range by removing the back panel and lifting the top. Under the top where the burner controls are located one of the controls had charring of wires and soot from the fire. The insulating bracket around the oven also had charring or soot visible. The images show the layout of the range and the specific controller that was burned. Charred wiring is visible as well as charring and soot in the surrounding area. The burner control is a combination of gas valve and electric components, presumably used to activate the igniter for that respective burner. We were very fortunate to be home at the time or it could have potentially been destroyed by fire had the fire spread beyond the range itsel
