Range control memory read failure

Drop the range breaker for ten minutes so the electronic range control fully clears and re-reads its memory at boot
If the fault paints back the instant power returns, the stored-settings chip has lost its contents and cannot self-heal
Look around the home for surge evidence — tripped GFCIs, blinking clocks, dimming lights on the same leg
Renew the electronic range control; the memory chip is soldered down and is not a field-swap part
Pro Diagnostic Tip
That memory chip holds the range calibration and cycle logic, so when a surge scrambles it the control flunks its own power-up integrity check and locks out every function. On the Maytag MER slide-ins the rest of the board usually survives intact, which is why a whole-house surge protector after the swap is cheap insurance against a repeat.
