We have a maytag gas single oven stove. Where do you find the model number on the stove? The oven is not working and the timer reads: 5AB instead of the time of day.
The beeping sound is a warning because the oven is in lock condition. The oven is not faulty, and the code is not 5AB, but SAB.
SAB means that the oven is in Sabbath mode, and the control board will be locked for 72 hours with SAB on display.
If power is disconnected a new 72 hours cycle will start.
Push and hold the Clock button for about 10 seconds, that will reset SAB mode.
If that does not work leave the oven connected and off for 72 hours. If the oven does not unlock after three days, then the electronic control may be stuck in SAB mode because it is faulty, in that case contact the manufacturer at the number listed on the owners manual.
As for the SAB code, GINKO's solution above is correct. As for the model number location..The model number might be under the broiler pan. You will have to remove the pan and use a flashlight to see it on a metal tag affixed to the base of the stove. Also, it should be on the front of the owners manual.
