Problem for Whirlpool RBS275PD Electric Single Oven

Maytag oven top heating element won't come on unless on broil

By govsmart on Feb 15, 2009

" "

We have a Maytag MER5750BAW range/oven. The top element won't come on when the oven is set to "Bake". If we put it on "Broil" - it does come on... Just started doing this. The oven is a couple years old.

- The problem is that even though the oven heats up for baking, it is not as hot as it should be and doesn't bake things correctly. It takes twice as long.

- I assume I can just buy a new one and put it in. I believe I've done that before with other ovens. I does not look too difficult.

Does the bake (lower) element still come on?

- Replaced the lower element about 3 yrs ago. The top element has been working until just recently, but now only goes on when set to broil. Sounds like a sensor or something similar, but I don't know how to troubleshoot this. - Guest

You are probably going to find the lower heating element has failed. Your symptoms describe that failure exactly.

Reply back if you want instruction as to how to repair.

- Cool!

If you can use a volt-ohmeter, then test the element to confirm it has failed, and replace it if it has. If it's not the element, there should be a wiring diagram/schematic in the unit, and you can identify the problem using that.

But chances are, it's the element. Let us know what you find out! And we will be happy to answer any questions that you may have.
