MEC7536WS
Maytag MEC7536WS Electric Cooktop Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Burner that heats only partly
- Control that clicks without producing heat
- Cracked cooktop surface
- Terminal discoloration near an element
The MEC7536WS is an older Maytag electric cooktop, with MEC7536WB listed as a close relative. It belongs to the MEC75 group of cooktops, which are numbered next to the MEC74 and MEC76 units, so we are careful to keep their parts apart.
A control that clicks without producing heat usually has a switch that is working mechanically but not passing current, or an element that has opened. We separate the two with a meter. A cracked top is a different concern: it should not be used until we have looked at it, because spills can reach live parts. Discolored terminals tell us that a connection has been running hot.
We read the label first and order the part that fits that exact number. You see the price in writing before we start, and we give a 30-day workmanship warranty.

Error codes this model can show
My control clicks but the burner stays cold. What is wrong?
Either the switch is not passing current or the element has failed. We test both with a meter so we replace only the one that is bad.
What should I do about a cracked top?
Stop using that unit and switch off its breaker. We will inspect the crack and tell you whether a repair is practical on an older cooktop.
Why are terminals discolored?
Heat from a loose connection discolors them. We replace the damaged terminal, check the wire and tighten the connection to prevent the problem from returning.
