Maytag Range Error Code 1d22

Code 1d22 means the control board detected a runaway temperature condition in the lower oven cavity, reaching 950°F or higher, while the oven door was locked. The oven shut down as a safety response. This most commonly occurs during or after a self-clean cycle. The two systems to inspect are the lower oven temperature sensor and the relay contacts that control power to the heating elements.

Start by disconnecting power to the range for at least five minutes to reset the control board and release the door lock. Once power is restored, check the lower oven temperature sensor resistance at room temperature, which should typically read around 1080-1100 ohms on most Maytag sensors. If the sensor reads shorted or out of spec, replace it. If the sensor checks out, inspect the relay contacts on the control or relay board for signs of welding or pitting and replace the affected board. A repair technician should handle relay board replacement if you are not comfortable working with the internal electronics.

Disconnecting power clears the stored code and resets the control board, but it does not fix the underlying cause. If the temperature sensor is shorted or a relay contact is stuck, the runaway condition will repeat the next time the oven reaches high temperatures. The code will return, typically during the next self-clean cycle or high-temperature cooking cycle. Always diagnose and repair the root cause before returning the oven to service.

No. Code 1d22 indicates a confirmed temperature runaway condition, meaning the oven could not regulate heat and exceeded 950°F. Running the oven again before identifying the cause risks another uncontrolled overheating event. Disconnect power, allow the oven to cool completely, then diagnose the sensor and relay contacts before attempting any further use.

A replacement lower oven temperature sensor typically costs $20 to $50 in parts and is a manageable DIY repair for most homeowners. Replacing a relay board or main control board runs $100 to $300 or more depending on the model, plus labor if professionally serviced. Labor for a range control board replacement from an appliance technician commonly adds $100 to $200. Diagnosing the sensor first is the most cost-effective path since it is both the most likely cause and the least expensive fix.
