Maytag MER5755QA Oven Wiring Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Discolored wiring near the oven elements
- Wire insulation that has gone brittle
- Oven that trips the breaker when it heats
- Burning smell when the oven first warms up
The MER5755QA is a Maytag electric range with an electric oven and cooktop, also sold as MER5755QAB, MER5755QAQ and MER5755QAS. Wiring inside a range lives next to hot surfaces, so on a unit that has seen heavy use we pay attention to the harness as well as to the elements.
When an oven trips the breaker as it heats, or gives off a burning smell beyond the first-use odor, we turn off the power and inspect the oven wiring, the element terminals and the connectors behind the panel. Brittle or darkened insulation, loose terminals and a cracked element can each cause the trouble, and each needs a different repair.
We test before quoting so you are not guessing. If a repair is not worth it, we say so plainly. Pricing is written down before work begins, we order by the model and serial plate, and our work carries a 30-day guarantee.

Error codes this model can show
Why does my oven trip the breaker when it heats?
A cracked element, a shorted terminal or damaged wiring can leak current to the frame. We disconnect the power and test the element and harness to find which one is causing it.
Is a burning smell always a problem?
A short smell from food residue is normal. A lasting or sharp smell, or one with smoke, may mean overheated wiring. Turn the oven off and call us.
Can damaged oven wiring be repaired, or must the range go?
Often we replace the damaged wires or terminals. If heat damage is widespread, we tell you directly when replacing the range makes more sense than repairing it.
