Most common issues on this model

  1. Oven that cooks on one side more than the other
  2. Burner that heats slowly after a power flicker
  3. Element terminal that is loose on its post
  4. Timer that sounds but the display stays blank

The MES5870AA is a Maytag electric range with an electric cooktop and oven. The number is also sold as MES5870AAA, MES5870AAB and MES5870AAC, plus others, so the full ending on the label tells us which version is in your kitchen.

Electric ranges like this are often installed on a dedicated circuit, and they can suffer after power flickers during Houston storms. If a burner heats slowly afterward, we check the element terminals on their posts, then the receptacle and the switch. An oven that cooks on one side more than the other makes us test both the bake and broil elements. A timer that sounds while the display stays blank sends us to the display board.

Parts are chosen from the complete model and serial numbers read off the range tag. The price is quoted on paper before the work starts, and we guarantee our workmanship for 30 days.

MES5870AAMES5870AA questions
Food on my MES5870AA browns on one side only. What could be wrong?

Often one of the oven elements is weaker than the other, or the door seal leaks on that side. We test both elements, check the gasket and recommend only what is needed.

Can a power flicker damage an electric range?

It can stress the control board and heating parts. If your range acts differently after a storm, we check the supply voltage, then the control and the elements, and explain what we find.

The timer beeps but the display is blank. Is the board gone?

Not necessarily. The board may still work while the display has failed, or a connector may be loose. We test power and connections before quoting a replacement.
