MER5730BA
Maytag MER5730BA Electric Range Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Oven that heats from the top only
- Surface element that sparks at the socket
- Broil element that is dark in places
- Door that closes with a gap at the corner
- Range that moves or tilts when the oven door opens
MER5730BA is a Maytag electric range, also sold as MER5730BAB, MER5730BAQ and MER5730BAW. The BA ending is its revision within the 5730 group.
A range that tilts when the oven door is opened has a missing or unsecured anti-tip bracket, and that is a safety issue we correct during the visit. If the oven heats only from the top, we look at the bake element and its terminals under the oven floor. Dark spots along the broil element show that part of it has failed, and sockets that spark need a new receptacle, because a good coil in a damaged socket will not last.
Gaps in the door corner can often be fixed by adjusting the hinges. We read the label to confirm the revision, quote in writing, and cover our work with a 30-day warranty.

Error codes this model can show
My range tilts forward when I open the oven door. What should I do?
Stop putting weight on the door and call us. The anti-tip bracket is missing or not engaged. We secure the range to the floor or wall as part of the visit.
Why is my oven only heating from the top?
The bake element under the floor or its terminals have failed, so only the broil element works. We test the bake element and its connections and replace what fails.
Can a gap at the door corner be fixed?
Usually by adjusting the hinges so the door sits square. If the gasket is also worn, we replace it, which restores a tight seal and shorter cooking times.
