MER5721BA
Maytag MER5721BA Range Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Oven that never reaches the set temperature
- Burner knob that feels hot or loose
- Broil element that gives off an electrical smell
- Element support that is bent or cracked
- Oven light socket that is corroded
The MER5721BA is a Maytag electric range with two listed endings, MER5721BAF and MER5721BAQ. It follows the MER5720BA closely by number, though we do not assume the two share parts and compare each against its own label.
An electrical smell from the broil element can come from grease burning on the element or from a connector that is overheating at the back of the cavity. We clean what can be cleaned, then inspect the connector for discoloration. If the oven never reaches the set temperature, the checks go in the usual order: sensor, bake element, door seal and then the control. A bent or cracked element support lets the element sag, which spoils heat distribution, and the support is a simple part to replace.
A corroded light socket, which sometimes follows moisture or a burst bulb, is also something we repair. Prices are written in advance, and the 30-day workmanship warranty covers our work.

Error codes this model can show
My broil element smells like burning wires. Is that normal?
Grease burning on the element has a distinct smell, but an overheated connector can smell electrical. We inspect the connector for discoloration before saying the cause is only grease.
Are MER5721BA and MER5720BA the same?
They are close but separate numbers, and we do not assume that parts match. We read your label and compare each part number before we order.
What does an element support do?
It holds the bake element in place at the oven floor. When it cracks, the element sags and heat spreads unevenly. Replacing the support and checking the element fixes the cooking pattern.
