MER5770AC
Maytag MER5770AC Oven Selector Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Oven that heats in the wrong mode
- Selector knob that turns without effect
- Broil that comes on when bake is chosen
- Oven that heats only after the knob is jiggled
The MER5770AC is a Maytag electric range with an electric oven, and it also appears as the MER5770ACA, MER5770ACB, MER5770ACQ and MER5770ACW. Choosing bake or broil on a range like this sends power to a different element, and the selector that does the choosing is a part that can wear.
When the oven heats in the wrong mode, or only when the knob is held at a certain angle, we suspect the selector switch or its contacts. We test the switch in each position, check which element receives power, and inspect the knob itself, since a slipping knob can mimic a bad switch. Wiring that has been heated for years may also need attention.
We replace what tests bad and nothing else. The quote comes to you in writing first, the part is picked from the plate number, and a 30-day guarantee applies to the work.

Error codes this model can show
Why does my oven broil when I choose bake?
The selector may be sending power to the wrong element, or the knob may no longer match the switch position. We test the switch in each position and see which element receives power.
My oven only works if I wiggle the knob. What does that mean?
It points to worn switch contacts or a loose knob. We test the switch and check the knob fit, then replace the part that is worn.
Is the selector the same part for every ending of this number?
Not always. Finish and revision endings such as ACA or ACW can use different knobs or switches, so we confirm the plate before ordering and avoid a wrong part.
