MER8680B
Maytag MER8680B Electric Range Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Burner with a weak or patchy glow
- Oven running hot
- Broil element that will not light
- Loose or wobbly door
MER8680B names a Maytag electric range with three further endings: MER8680BB, MER8680BS and MER8680BW. Heat for the surface and the oven comes from electricity, which keeps the service picture simple even when the trouble is not.
A burner with a weak or patchy glow can be a worn element, but a socket that has lost its grip is a close second. An oven that runs hot makes us suspect the sensor first, then the control. A broil element that will not light needs a meter reading to tell a failed element from a wiring problem behind it. A wobbly door is another visit entirely, as the hinges and springs need replacing before heat leaks.
The range is drawn out of its opening with care and the label read. After that you get a quote on paper, and the finished repair is covered for 30 days. If a repair would not be worth the money on your range, you hear it from us first.

Error codes this model can show
My MER8680B oven runs hotter than I set it. Can that be fixed?
Yes. Often the sensor has stopped reporting the true temperature, and the control leaves the element on past the setting. Its resistance is measured, and a sensor outside the expected range is replaced.
The broil element does not light. How do you tell what failed?
We put a meter on the element. If it reads open, the element is bad. If it reads normal, we trace the wiring and switch feeding it.
A loose oven door, is that safe to ignore?
It is worth fixing. Worn hinges and springs let heat escape, which affects baking and puts extra load on the elements. We replace the worn parts.
