Maytag MER5765QA Burner Switch Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Burner that does not respond to the knob
- Burner stuck on high with no control
- Knob that turns but the setting does not change
- Clicking from the switch with no heat
Anyone with a MER5765QA has a Maytag electric range with a long list of endings, such as the MER5765QAB, MER5765QAF and MER5765QAN, so the plate on your range tells us which one you own. This page is about the part you touch most often: the burner knobs and the switches behind them.
Each surface burner on a range like this is controlled by an infinite switch that varies how long the coil is powered. When the switch wears, the burner may not respond, may stay on high or may click without heating. We test the switch with a meter, check the coil on its own and inspect the connector to rule out heat damage.
Only the part that tests bad is replaced. You receive the price in writing before we start, parts are chosen by the full plate number, and we guarantee the work for 30 days.

What is an infinite switch on an electric range?
It is the control behind each burner knob that cycles power to the coil to set its heat. When it wears out, the burner can stay on high, stay cold or click without heating.
My burner will not turn off. Is that dangerous?
Yes, treat it as urgent. Switch the range off at the breaker. A switch stuck closed keeps the coil powered, so we replace it after confirming the cause.
Does a loose knob mean a bad switch?
Not always. A worn knob can slip on a good switch stem. We test the switch with a meter and replace only the knob if the switch passes.
