Why won't my Maytag electric oven heat past 210 degrees?

either its the oven sensor rod located at the top of the ovens cavity,or your bake element could be getting a hot spot which is when it gets a discolored spot in the element and can no longer pass sufficient current to heat the oven past 250 degrees

You don't give enough info for answer. Need model number.

Hello, abb

I was trying to help you out here. Maybe this will help some? I was going back to some customers that asked questions in the recent past and even farther back. It appeared that no one answered some of them, So, I thought I would take some of my personal time to see if I can help. Even though this Informational site may not have your exact model or brand, this site will help you a lot. Here is a site link about everything you want to know about ovens and possibly yours, from repair to trouble shooting it. Now go easy on me, I am just trying to help. If it does great if not, I am sorry.
