MEW5524AS
Maytag MEW5524AS Wall Oven Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Oven short of the temperature you set
- Control pad that fails in one area of the panel
- Door still locked after a cleaning cycle
- Cooling fan that keeps blowing after the oven is off
The MEW5524AS is a Maytag electric wall oven. It is set into a cabinet cutout rather than slid under a cooktop, so the oven is wired to a 240-volt circuit in the wall. Houston kitchens with a separate cooktop and an eye-level oven often have a unit like this.
On a built-in electric oven, a call about low temperature starts with the bake and broil elements and the temperature sensor, then moves to the control. If the door will not unlock after a self-clean cycle, the latch motor and its switch are next. A cooling fan that runs on after cooking ends gets its own check, because it points to a sensor or a relay.
The label inside the door frame gives us the full model and serial, which we check before ordering a part. A written price comes first, and our work is covered for 30 days.

Why is my MEW5524AS not reaching the set temperature?
A weak bake element or an inaccurate sensor are the first suspects on an electric wall oven. We measure the element and the sensor resistance, then compare the oven against a test thermometer before recommending a part.
Does the cooling fan stay on for a reason?
It normally runs a while after cooking to cool the controls. If it keeps running for hours, we test the sensor and the relay that tells it to stop, because the oven may think it is still hot.
Is a wall oven repair safe to do in a built-in cabinet?
Yes. We switch off the breaker, slide the oven forward when needed, and protect the cabinet. If the oven must be pulled out fully, we agree on that with you first.
