Maytag YMER8880B Electric Range Repair

Most common issues on this model

Cooktop unit that heats on one setting only
Oven light and clock fine but no oven heat
Hot spots that scorch the back of baked goods
Breaker that trips when the oven starts

On a stove labeled YMER8880B you have a Maytag electric range. Its related endings are YMER8880BB, YMER8880BS and YMER8880BW. Notice how close this number is to YMER8880A; the two are separate listings and we keep them apart when ordering.

A range that lights up but gives no oven heat tells us the controls have power, so the problem lies further along: the bake coil, its connection or the circuit that feeds it. A breaker that trips as the oven starts calls for a different test, namely resistance to ground across the coils, because a damaged coil can leak current.

We do not guess at those. Each coil, switch and wire is metered in a set order, starting at the supply. The tag supplies the model and serial for any part order. We provide a written price before starting and guarantee our labor for thirty days.

YMER8880BYMER8880B questions

My YMER8880B oven light works but the oven does not heat. Why?

The light shows the range has power, so the issue is farther along: a failed bake coil, a loose connection or the control that feeds the coil. We test them in that order.

What does it mean when the breaker trips as the oven starts?

A coil with damaged insulation can leak current to the oven wall and trip the breaker. We check resistance to ground and replace the coil, and we inspect nearby wiring for damage.

Is the YMER8880B the same as the YMER8880A?

They are separate listings with similar numbers. Many parts may match, but we confirm against the tag on your range before we order a switch, coil or probe.
