Maytag MEC4430W Electric Cooktop Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Burner that heats on one setting only
- Visible arcing or crackling at an element connection
- Indicator that lights without heat
- Element that glows unevenly
Here is the Maytag MEC4430W, an electric cooktop that is also sold as MEC4430WB and MEC4430WW. The letter after the W in your label separates one finish or revision from the other, and we read it so the right parts are ordered.
Crackling or visible arcing at a burner connection is a reason to stop using that burner and call us. We shut off the circuit, open the connection, and look for a burned terminal or a loose wire nut, then test the element and the switch. If a burner heats on one setting only, the switch contacts are usually the cause.
These cooktops are common in older Houston kitchens, and we repair them when parts can be found. We confirm the complete number from the label, give a written price first, and include a 30-day workmanship warranty. If the unit is past saving, we say that before any work starts.

Error codes this model can show
What should I do if I see sparks at a burner?
Turn off that burner and the breaker, then call us. Sparks usually mean a burned terminal or a failing element connection, which we can inspect and repair safely.
Why does a burner only work on high?
The switch contacts for that burner may be worn, so only one position passes power. We test the switch with a meter before replacing it.
Do the B and W endings change the repair?
They mark a finish or revision, and sometimes the parts list changes with it. We read your full number and order against it.
