Maytag MER5730AGW Electric Range Repair

Most common issues on this model

Surface element that heats only at the outer ring
Oven that is slow to cool or hold temperature
Light that burns out quickly
Knob that does not stop at the marked positions
Wire insulation that is brittle at the back of the range

The MER5730AGW is a Maytag electric range with one listed version. The GW ending places it beside the ACW and AA versions of the 5730, though each has a different revision code, and we keep their parts apart.

Brittle wire insulation at the back of a range is something we look for on any unit that has run for years, because the heat from the oven slowly hardens the coating. We replace damaged sections instead of taping them. An oven slow to cool or to hold its temperature can have a stuck sensor reading, so we test it with a thermometer. A light that burns out quickly sometimes has a socket problem, and a bulb change would only repeat the problem.

The final step on every call is a cooking test across burners and the oven. Written estimates come first, and a 30-day workmanship warranty applies afterward.

MER5730AGWMER5730AGW questions

Why would wire insulation get brittle on a range?

Heat from the oven hardens the coating over time, especially at the back of the unit. We replace damaged wire sections and inspect connectors, because taped wire can short later.

My oven light burns out within weeks. What is wrong?

A loose or corroded socket can cause repeated failure, and so can voltage reaching the bulb. We inspect the socket and its wiring before suggesting another bulb.

Does the knob position matter for burner heat?

Yes. If the knob does not stop where it should, the switch is worn or the knob is slipping, and the burner may not get the heat you select. We test and replace the worn part.
