MER5870BC
Maytag MER5870BC Electric Burner Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Large and small burners that look alike but differ
- Coil that fits the socket yet heats wrongly
- Wrong replacement coil bought without the plate number
- Burner that trips the breaker after a swap
The MER5870BC is a Maytag electric range, also sold as MER5870BCQ, MER5870BCS or MER5870BCW. Owners often try to fix a dead burner by buying a coil at a hardware store, and that is where trouble can start, since burners on one range can differ in size and rating even when a coil plugs in.
A coil that fits the socket but draws the wrong power can heat badly, damage the receptacle or trip the breaker. We identify which burner position you have, test the old coil and the switch, and match the replacement to your model plate instead of by shape. If you have already installed a coil, we check whether it is correct.
That saves money over buying parts twice. We quote in writing before work and guarantee our labor for 30 days.

Error codes this model can show
Can I use any coil that plugs into my range?
Not safely. A coil that fits may have the wrong rating for that burner position. We match the replacement to your range number and burner position.
I bought a coil and the breaker trips. What now?
Remove the coil and call us. The coil may be the wrong type, or the receptacle may have been damaged. We test both before putting anything back.
How do I know which burner I have?
Burners differ by position on the cooktop. We identify each from the model plate and test the coil and switch on that position before recommending a part.
