MER5555RC
Maytag MER5555RC Range Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Oven that preheats but cooks unevenly
- Surface element with a loose or tilting coil
- Knob that does not click into position
- Bake element that does not glow at all
- Warm exterior around the control panel
This page covers the MER5555RC, a Maytag electric range sold with two endings, MER5555RCB and MER5555RCW. The RC suffix separates it from the QC version with the same four digits, and that is the main thing to confirm when parts are ordered.
When the bake element does not glow at all, we test it with a meter. A good element points the search at the control or the wiring that feeds it, while a failed element is a simple swap. A coil that tilts in its receptacle is a problem with the receptacle, not the coil, and a loose fit leads to arcing, so we replace the socket. For a warm control panel, we check ventilation behind the backguard and the condition of the control.
Many of these ranges still do daily work for their owners, so we aim for repairs that keep them cooking. We quote in writing before starting, and the work comes with a 30-day guarantee on our labor.

Error codes this model can show
The bake element is dead. Is the range finished?
Rarely. We test the element with a meter. A failed element is a simple replacement, and if it tests good we follow the power to the control and the wiring to find the break.
What is the difference between MER5555RC and MER5555QC?
They share four digits but are separate families with their own parts, so the suffix matters. We read the full label and order the part that fits your version only.
Why does my coil burner tilt?
The receptacle that holds the coil has loosened or been damaged, and the connection can arc. We replace the receptacle, because a new coil in a loose socket would fail the same way.
