MER8674AS
Maytag MER8674AS Electric Range Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Burner stuck on high or never warming
- Bake element worn at one end
- Locked door after self-cleaning
- Display error that blocks baking
The MER8674AS is listed as an earlier-production Maytag electric range, with MER8674AB listed alongside it. Smooth-top and coil versions exist, and some have a warming or storage drawer. A sensor in the oven reports to an electronic control, and self-clean versions lock the door while the cleaning cycle runs.
On this kind of range, a surface burner stuck on high usually means the switch has welded its contacts, so turn off the range breaker until it is fixed. A burner that never warms is more often a burnt socket or a broken element. Inside the oven, a bake element worn at one end is a regular find.
Earlier-production ranges deserve an honest look. We tell you if the repair is sound value for the age of the unit. Label first, then a written quote, then the work, which we guarantee for one month.

Error codes this model can show
A burner on my MER8674AS will not turn off. What should I do?
Switch off the range breaker and call us. The burner switch has probably welded its contacts closed, and replacing it is routine once we have confirmed the diagnosis with a meter.
Why does the display show an error and stop the oven?
The control may be reacting to a bad sensor reading or a loose connector. We test the sensor and the wiring before suggesting a control replacement.
Does self-clean make a range harder to repair?
It adds a door lock and some wiring, which we test when the door stays shut or the cycle will not run. For other problems it makes little difference.
