Diana for Model Number Maytag MER5770aaw I recently replaced the front dual burner because the center small burner was not working. I did wire to wire connection and the dual burner worked well. A few days later, when I turned on the small burner behind the dual burner, it turned on the dual burner (small center burner) simultaneously. I noticed that the new dual burner replacement was a little different wiring compared to the old one. However, the concept is the same. If the wiring wrong, the dual burner won't work, right? I'm puzzled, how can a switch control 2 burners? Please help! Thanks!
Answer Hello Diana. Usually this happens by a wire passing power to both elements. Double check the wiring and see if it is causing the issues with the unit. You will trace the problem with a meter, by doing a voltage test. Be careful as you are dealing with live power here. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
