Maytag Range Error Code 1c82

Error code 1c82 means the control board detected that the cook profile stored in the EEPROM for the lower oven cavity is corrupted, specifically that the CRC (cyclic redundancy check) validation failed. The EEPROM is a memory chip on the control board that holds cooking calibration data. When this data fails its integrity check, the range raises the 1c82 fault. The control board requires replacement to resolve this.

Using the lower oven cavity while 1c82 is active is not advisable. The range cannot confirm its stored cooking profile for that cavity is valid, which means temperature calibration and cook settings for the lower oven may not operate as expected. The upper oven or cooktop burners may still function normally depending on the model, but the lower oven should be considered unreliable until the control board is replaced.

Control board replacement for a Maytag range typically costs between $150 and $350 for the part alone, depending on the model. Adding professional labor, total repair costs commonly fall between $250 and $500. If the range is older and approaching the high end of that estimate, comparing the repair cost against the age and overall condition of the appliance is worth doing before committing. DIY replacement is feasible for this repair and can reduce cost to the part price only.

The fix for 1c82 is replacing the control board. The corrupted cook profile data lives in an EEPROM chip that is part of the control board assembly and cannot be re-flashed or reprogrammed in the field on most Maytag models. Disconnect power for five minutes first to confirm the fault persists and isn't a one-time glitch, but if 1c82 returns after power is restored, a new control board is required. A qualified technician can complete this repair, though confident DIYers comfortable working with appliance electronics can do it with the correct part number for their specific model.

A power reset by unplugging the range or tripping the circuit breaker for five minutes may temporarily clear the display, but 1c82 will return if the EEPROM data on the control board is genuinely corrupted. If the code does not return after a full reset, monitor the range closely. If it comes back, the control board needs to be replaced, as the underlying memory corruption will not resolve on its own.
