MER5780BA
Maytag MER5780BA Electric Range Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Problem that comes and goes
- Burner or oven that works only sometimes
- Noises from the switch or control
- Area behind the range that shows scorching
The MER5780BA is a Maytag electric range, with finish or revision endings BAB, BAQ, BAS and BAW. Problems that come and go are the hardest to diagnose, and a range is no exception: a burner works Tuesday and not Wednesday, or the oven heats only when the weather is dry.
For an on-and-off problem it helps us if you note when it happens and what you were cooking. We then test under load, because many loose connections show only when the range is hot and drawing full current. We look at the terminals, the burner receptacles, the switches and the cord, and inspect the wall behind the range for scorch marks.
That gives us a cause instead of a guess. The price is written before we begin, we order by the whole model plate, and we back the work with a 30-day workmanship warranty.

Error codes this model can show
My range works only some of the time. How do you find the cause?
We test the burners and oven under load and wiggle-check connections while the range is hot. A loose terminal, a worn receptacle or a failing switch often shows up only under heat.
What should I note before you arrive?
Write down which burner or oven mode failed, what you were cooking and how long it had been on. That helps us repeat the problem during testing.
Is scorching behind the range serious?
Yes. It points to a hot connection. Turn the breaker off and call us. We check the cord, outlet and terminal block and replace damaged parts.
