Most common issues on this model

  1. Oven that heats only from the top or only from the bottom
  2. Surface element that sparks when switched on
  3. Display that is dim or missing digits
  4. Door gasket that is frayed or flattened
  5. Bake element that never reaches a full glow

The MER5551BA is a Maytag electric range with three other listed versions: MER5551BAB, MER5551BAQ and MER5551BAW. Like other BA-revision ranges in this series, it should be matched to its own label and not to the AA version with a close number.

An oven that heats only from the top or only from the bottom has lost one of its two elements, or the wiring to it. The broil element sits at the top and the bake element under the floor, so the missing heat tells us where to look. We test the element first, then the connectors on it, which burn easily at the ends.

A dim or incomplete display usually means a worn control or a loose ribbon connection behind the panel. We open the panel only after ruling out simpler causes. You will have a written price before we begin, and a 30-day warranty on the work that follows.

MER5551BAMER5551BA questions
My oven heats only from the top. Which element is out?

The bake element sits under the oven floor and the broil element at the top. If only the top works, the bake element or its connection has failed. We test the element and its terminals.

Why does the display have missing segments?

Missing digits often come from a worn control or a loose connection behind the panel. We check the connector first, and only quote a control replacement if the connection tests fine.

Does a frayed door gasket matter?

Yes, a worn gasket lets heat out, so the oven takes longer and the control may keep the element on. Replacing the gasket is quick and often improves baking without touching the elements.
