- Stay with the range for one minute and watch the display.
- Verify the range operates.

What Maytag lists as possible reasons
Time out, poor signal strength, a failed router, the Wi-Fi Module in the appliance, or associated wiring. With a weak signal, relocate the router, add a compatible extender, or talk to your Internet Service Provider.
