Maytag MER5552BA Range Repair

Most common issues on this model

Oven that takes too long to preheat
Surface element that only works on high
Oven that shuts off in the middle of a bake
Cracked or chipped element support
Terminal block with scorched wires

The MER5552BA is a Maytag electric range. Its number is also sold with the endings MER5552BAB, MER5552BAQ, MER5552BAS and MER5552BAW, which makes it one of the larger groups in this series.

An oven that shuts off in the middle of a bake can be reacting to a sensor, a thermal protector or a loose wire that opens when it expands. We follow the heating circuit and see where it drops out. Scorched wires at the terminal block, in contrast, show that the range has been running on a loose power connection, and fixing that is a first step before any other part is changed.

Where only one setting works on a surface element, the switch has usually worn out. This is a quick repair when the right switch is on hand. We confirm the exact revision before ordering, show you the price in writing, and cover our work with a 30-day warranty.

MER5552BAMER5552BA questions

My oven turns off during baking. What could cause it?

A drifting sensor, a thermal protector or a loose wire that opens as it heats can all shut the oven off. We trace the heating circuit and test each part until we find where it drops out.

Why do scorched wires at the terminal block matter?

They show a loose power connection that has been overheating. Left alone, it can damage the block and the range. We replace damaged wiring and tighten the connection before anything else.

A surface element only works on high. Is it the element?

Usually the switch, which controls power at each setting. If the element heats well on high, it is probably fine. We test the switch output first and replace it if needed.
