Not sure where to begin
If a code is flashing, check the error code pages. If you cannot tell whether the appliance is worth fixing, read repair or replace a Maytag appliance. Gas smell means leaving the home at once and calling the gas utility or 911 from outside; burning smell or sparks means switching the power off at the breaker. Otherwise, send a request on the contact page.
