YMET8720D
Maytag YMET8720D Electric Cooking Range Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Oven that burns the bottom of baked goods
- Burner switch that heats only at certain knob angles
- Hinge that squeaks or binds as the door opens
- Fuse or breaker that trips after the oven runs a while
YMET8720D is the number of a Maytag electric range with the further endings YMET8720DE, YMET8720DH and YMET8720DS. Those letters mostly tell you the finish, yet we still read them from your tag.
Baked goods that burn on the bottom are a classic sign that the lower coil is running too hot or the probe is reporting low, so we test both. A switch that heats only at certain knob angles has a worn contact. A breaker that trips after the oven has run for a while suggests a coil that leaks current only when hot, which we test by metering to ground while the oven is warm.
A binding hinge is a mechanical matter we deal with quickly. Orders go in only after the tag has been read in full. We write the price down first and promise thirty days on our labor.

Why does my YMET8720D oven burn the bottom of the food?
Either the lower coil is running hotter than it should, or the probe reads low and the control keeps power on too long. We test the coil and compare the probe with a thermometer.
The breaker trips only after the oven has been on a while. Why?
A coil can leak current to ground only once it is hot. We check insulation resistance with the oven warm, which is when the leak actually shows up.
Does a squeaking hinge need repair?
A squeak is a sign of dry or worn hinge parts. Left alone, the door can sag and the seal can leak. We lubricate or replace the hinge depending on its condition.
