MER5770BA
Maytag MER5770BA Range Cord Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Power cord that is frayed or cracked
- Plug that is pitted or blackened
- Terminal block with loose lugs
- Cord of the wrong type for the outlet
The MER5770BA is a Maytag electric range, also found as MER5770BAB, MER5770BAQ or MER5770BAW. Houses in Houston range from new builds with modern outlets to older homes whose wiring was set up decades ago, and a range cord that does not match the outlet is a more common problem than most owners expect.
We inspect the cord for cracks, the plug for pitting or soot, and the terminal block where the cord attaches to the range. We also check that the cord type matches the outlet in the wall, three-wire or four-wire, since a mismatch can leave the range without a proper ground. If the connection is loose, we tighten it, or replace the cord or block.
A written quote comes before any work. The cord and block we use are chosen for your range, and the repair carries our 30-day workmanship coverage.

Error codes this model can show
How do I know if my range cord is the right type?
It must match the wall outlet, either three-prong or four-prong, and be rated for the range. We check the outlet and the cord together and replace the cord if they do not match.
What does a blackened plug mean?
It means heat built up at a loose or worn connection. Do not keep using it. We replace the plug or cord and check the outlet and terminal block for damage.
Can the cord be replaced without moving the whole range?
Usually the range is slid forward and the rear access panel removed. We level it and check the anti-tip bracket after the cord is done.
