MEC4536WW
Maytag MEC4536WW Electric Cooktop Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Burner that stays cold while others heat
- Switch knob that spins freely
- Surface light behaving oddly
- Burned spot on a terminal or receptacle
The MEC4536WW is an older Maytag electric cooktop, and a sister number ending in WB is also listed for the same family. Many are still in service in Houston kitchens, where they sit in a counter cutout and run on their own 240-volt circuit.
If one burner stays cold while the others work, the cause sits in that burner’s own path: element, switch or terminal. That makes the diagnosis quick, and we meter each part in turn. A knob that spins freely usually means a worn switch shaft. A burned spot at a terminal calls for a new connector and a check of the wire behind it.
We read the number and serial from the label before ordering parts. We give you the price in writing first, and we say plainly if a cooktop of this age is no longer worth fixing. Repairs carry a 30-day workmanship warranty.

Error codes this model can show
One burner is cold and the rest work. Is the cooktop dead?
Not at all. A single cold burner usually means that burner's element, switch or connection has failed, and the rest of the cooktop is fine. We test each part and replace only the bad one.
What does WB versus WW mean?
The last letters mark a color or revision of the same family. We do not assume all parts match, so we read your exact number before ordering.
Can a burned terminal be repaired?
Yes, if the wire behind it is still sound. We replace the terminal or receptacle, trim back damaged wire and tighten the connection, then test the burner under power.
