MERH865RA
Maytag MERH865RA Oven Range Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Oven that does not hold the set temperature
- Burner stuck at a single heat level
- Cooktop receptacle with melted or dark spots
- Display that flickers or goes blank
The MERH865RA is a Maytag electric range, with surface burners and an oven that depend on electric power. The same number is also sold as MERH865RAB, MERH865RAQ and MERH865RAS, and a fourth ending exists too. Your plate’s final letters show which version is yours.
We often see ranges of this type in Houston family kitchens that cook daily, which puts steady wear on elements, receptacles and switches. We begin on the cooktop with the receptacles, because heat damage there is easy to see and costly to ignore. In the oven we measure both elements, then the sensor, since an oven that will not hold temperature usually has one of those to blame. A flickering display points us to the control and its connections.
Parts are chosen only after the entire model and serial number is read off the plate on the range. A written price is yours to approve before we start, and the job is guaranteed for 30 days.

Error codes this model can show
My burner only works on one setting. Is that the element?
More often it is the infinite switch, which should give a range of heat but sticks at one setting when worn. Both get tested; whichever is bad is replaced.
The display on my MERH865RA flickers. Should I replace the whole control?
Not before testing. A loose connector or a failing relay can produce a flicker. We check the wiring and the supply first, and tell you what the control board would cost before you decide.
My range has dark spots at a burner socket. Can I keep cooking?
We advise stopping use of that burner. Dark or melted spots mean heat at the terminal, which can spread. We inspect the receptacle and wiring and replace the damaged socket and element together.
