Maytag MER6870AC Electric Stove Repair

Most common issues on this model

Oven light on but no heat
Breaker that trips when the oven starts
Hot spots while baking
Knob or pad that feels dead

Call it a stove or a range, the MER6870AC is Maytag electric cooking equipment. Top and oven heat with electricity. Yours may read MER6870ACC, MER6870ACQ or MER6870ACW on the label; those letters belong to the model, because they can change which switch or sensor is right.

An owner who says the light comes on but the oven stays cold is describing a common situation: the lamp has its own circuit and proves little. The bake element, the sensor and the voltage arriving at the oven get measured in turn. When the breaker trips as the oven starts, we test the elements for leakage to the metal case before the stove is used again, since that is a safety matter.

Most of these stoves back onto a wall outlet in a kitchen alcove, and we draw them out carefully. Expect a written quote first and 30 days of warranty on what we do.

MER6870ACMER6870AC questions

The light in my MER6870AC oven works, but the oven stays cold. Why?

The lamp is on its own circuit, so it says little about the heating parts. Meter readings on the bake element, the sensor and the oven feed tell us which part quit. A burnt-out element is common, and it is a simple swap once confirmed.

The breaker trips when I use the oven. May I keep cooking?

Please do not. A tripping breaker can mean an element is leaking current to the case. We find the leak and replace the failed part before the stove goes back into use.

Does the final letter of the number matter?

It can. The base number appears with C, Q and W endings, and a small difference between them may change a switch or sensor. So we match the complete string from the label when ordering parts.
