MES5870AC
Maytag MES5870AC Electric Stove Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Burner that pulses on and off while set on high
- Loud relay click when the oven starts
- Broil element that smokes for a long time
- Oven door gasket with gaps or flat spots
Maytag’s MES5870AC is an all-electric range for the cooktop and the oven alike. The ending AC separates it from the MES5870AA, and this number is also sold as MES5870ACB and MES5870ACW.
Stoves of this type usually stand freestanding in Houston kitchens and are used every day, so we look at the wearing parts first. A burner that pulses on and off on its highest setting is a switch or element problem. A loud click at oven start can be a relay on the control. A broil element that smokes long after the first use may have a failing coating or grease below it, and the door gasket is checked for gaps.
Our parts order is based on the full model and serial numbers shown on the tag. You see the written price before any work, and the repair comes with a 30-day workmanship guarantee.

Error codes this model can show
The burner on my MES5870AC pulses on high. Why?
It may be cycling off because a worn infinite switch cannot hold full contact, or the element is breaking down. We test both and replace the part that fails.
Is a clicking noise when the oven starts a concern?
A single click is the relay closing and is normal. Repeated clicking without heat means the relay or the element is failing. We test the control output and the element.
How do I know if the oven gasket needs to be replaced?
Look for flat spots, tears or gaps, and for heat escaping around the door. We check the seal with the door closed and replace it if it no longer fits tightly.
