Tyler H Martinez , CA August 17, 2020 Appliance: Maytag Range/Oven, Electric, Freestanding, 30 Inch MER8700DS1 Maytag Range Mer8700ds1: The bake function stopped working. How to replace Range Bake Element. I purchased a bake element and terminal block (just in case) from Appliance Parts Pros. I disassembled the oven to expose terminal connections and expose bake element. The element was clearly bad. It took 10 minutes start to finish and cost $86!
