Maytag MER8670AS Electric Range Repair

Most common issues on this model

Door still locked after cleaning
Display error that stops the oven
Oven that runs below the setting
Bake element worn at one end

Maytag’s MER8670AS is an electric range listed as earlier production; a close relative, MER8670AB, is listed too. What you see on top depends on the version, smooth-top or coil, and some versions have a drawer under the oven for warming or storage. Self-clean versions run a cleaning cycle with the door locked.

After a cleaning cycle, a door that will not unlock is a call we know well. The cause is usually the lock motor or its switch. An error on the display that stops the oven sends us to the sensor and wiring first, and an oven that runs below the setting makes us measure the bake element.

Many of these ranges still cook for Houston families, and we like to keep them going when the numbers make sense. We read the model and serial from the label, give you the estimate on paper, and warrant the work for 30 days.

MER8670ASMER8670AS questions

The door of my MER8670AS stays locked after cleaning. What next?

Do not force it. The lock motor or its switch is usually the cause. We test both, release the latch safely and replace whichever part has failed.

My oven runs below its setting. What do you measure?

First the bake element, since one that has worn at an end heats poorly. Then the sensor, and last the door seal. We use a separate thermometer so we know how far the oven is off.

Is this model's top smooth or coil?

It depends on the version, since this number is used for both styles. The label shows which one you have, and the answer decides which elements and switches we order for you.
