MER57550AWAW electric - won't heat to selected preset temp

Oven preset to 400 degrees won't heat beyond 200 degrees. Broiler seems to work ok. Any solution?

  • goodtees Mar 17, 2008

    only one visable element on top. broiler function works fine.. possible digital preset panel malfunction or maybe digital thermometer is my guess. I wish it was as simple as a burned out heating element.

    I have the same problem with the same unit. Have you found any answers? I do know it is not the heating element. My next step is the thermo. I'm worried it is a computer problem.

Any idea where to get parts numbers for this model? Maytag's website seems pretty useless. The model number does not even come up. BTW it should be 5750 in the title, not 57550

Can you see lower (bake) element or is it hidden(under the oven floor). a visual inspection of elemnet is usually all that is required to determine if its good or not, It will have a "burn out" in it perhaps a plume of white soot around damaged area.in which case you will need to replace the element. simple enough 2screws and 2 wires part number 74010750.. if it is a "hidden" bake elemnt the floor oh oven lifts rightup to reveal it."POWER MUST BE TURNED OFF!!!!!!!! IT IS A CONSTSANTLY LIVE ELEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!

    forgive me hfor the duplicate question here, There are 2 elements in this oven ( in all ovens for that matter),i understand the broil element is working.there is also a bake element .not quite sure we were on the same page there. the lower(bake) element is good???if you dont see one on the floor of the oven, hten the bottom floor will lift up to reveal the element. If both theses elemnts ck good a quick loook from behind for burnt wires and id say you have a bad electronic control.

Kenmore plt083-2 won't heat above 200 degrees

Please check that model number again. The one you posted comes up as a refrigerator. Look inside the oven door or the lower drawer.

My oven will only reach 275 degrees even when the setting is at 400 or more. The broiler works fine. Are there heating elements that have gone out, possibly?

Hi

This means a loose/broken wire on the oven temp sensor or the oven temp. sensor itself is bad and should be replaced. To solve this issue test the oven temp. sensor, it should read between 1080-1120 ohms, if the rating is more then that and the door appears to be closing fine then it is the control board that is bad and should be replaced. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

Oven and Broiler coils do not heat. Control works okay. The burners heat okay. Set oven to 325 degrees. Drops to 100 degrees. There is a click. and nothing happens beyond that. Try broiler. Set to HI. Does...

There is a relay in the back panel of the stove, this is probably the problem, there is also a temp thermostat in the back leading to the inside oven this cold be bad

Ovens won't heat up beyond 250 degrees.

if you cant program it for more than the 270 you may have changed it from farienhiet ( bad spelling) to celcius. pushing and holding broil may switch it back.

Mer5755qab oven takes an hour to heat to 200

Either your bake element is bad or there is a bad connection going to the element. This is a very high current connection so bad connections are always a possiblity. Also check and make sure your broil element is working as some ovens use it for pre-heat. Do both elements seem about the same temp? You can turn the oven on and carefully hold your hand a few inches from the element to see if they are getting equally hot. If your connections are good to the elements then one of the "calrod" elements is probably bad. You can also check the resistance of each element. Not sure of exact reading but a higher resistance means less current going to the element. Just compare reading on each one and go from there. Good luck!

Gas oven not heating to temp

The fault is either the capillary has fallen away from back or it is a faulty thermostat.
