Maytag MES8800FZ Electric Range Repair

Most common issues on this model

Oven that settles below the set temperature
Bake element that is worn at one end
Surface element that stays cold or runs on full
Display that shows an error and refuses to start

The MES8800FZ is a Maytag electric range, with electric heat for the cooktop and for the oven. The ending FZ is part of the number, and we always work from the complete number on the label rather than from the first digits alone, because related numbers can use different parts.

A range like this typically stands in the middle of a cabinet run in a Houston kitchen and draws from a heavy outlet. Our first check is whether the display error and the heating problem come from the same cause. We test the oven sensor and the bake element together, since one weak part can make the control report an error. On the cooktop, an element that stays cold or runs on full goes through the switch, socket and element test in that order.

Parts are ordered against the complete model and serial numbers on the range tag, including the ending. A written quote comes first, and our workmanship carries a 30-day guarantee.

MES8800FZMES8800FZ questions

My MES8800FZ shows an error and will not start the oven. Where do you begin?

With the supply and the oven sensor. A sensor that reads out of range often triggers an error. We test it and the bake element, then the control board, and give you a price before replacing a part.

Why is the FZ ending important when ordering parts?

Numbers that look alike can use different controls, switches or trim. We read the full MES8800FZ number from the label, so the part we quote matches your range.

A burner on this electric range stays on full. What is the cause?

Usually the infinite switch has worn and no longer cycles power. We test the switch, then the element and socket, and replace only the part that tests bad. Only that part is billed.
