Eric T January 19, 2013 for Model Number Maytag Mer6755 The primary cooktop element of the 4 cooktop elements does not function properly. It cycles on and off, and generally will only heat up by running on high. Is there a controller / regulator for this heating element and how do you replace it?
1 Answer Hello Eric, The element itself would have to be replaced as it is the limiter that has failed causing the element to continuously cycle. To replace you would open oven door and take out 1 screw on either side, Lift up on top and slide forward. Disconnect harness connector at the back and turn cooktop over. When replacing element pay attention to which numbers the clips are attached to so that when you put it back on they will be in the same position. Read More...
Al January 01, 2013 for Model Number MER6755AAB Everything on the stove works correctly except the cancel button on the control panel for the top oven will not shut off the top oven. I have to go and trip the breaker in the panel to shut off the oven. The button under the panel feeels "dead" to me. Do I need to replace the whole control panel and membrane or can the control be repaired. Thanks, AL
1 Answer Hello Al, The membrane is not a repairable part and you would have to replace the control W10769079 on the unit. Read More...
John J December 09, 2012 for Model Number mer6755aaa Maytag Gemini double electric oven. Everything works except top oven bake. Control board is only sending 110v to one side. Other side reads 0v. Does the control board need to be replaced? Bake element is fine.
1 Answer Hello John. When you tested the voltage did you go from wire to ground on each side? Also, if you tested between both wires you should be getting 240v. If everything else works fine as you stated then it could be a bad relay in the control board W10769079. Read More...
Marc December 07, 2012 for Model Number mer6755aas Maytag Gemini mer6755aas. Top oven, top element works ok. Top oven, lower heating element does not work. Lower oven neither elements work. Lower oven broiler works. Stove top works fine. Is this the control panel?
1 Answer Hello Marc, it possible you may have an issue with the oven control W10769079. Hope this helps! Read More...
Andy November 26, 2012 for Model Number MER6775BAF While baking (may have happened when the top oven door was opened, not sure), all lights on control panel shut off. Stove top works, and warm indicator light works. Unplugged the oven for a time and back in. Still no lights. Tried a self test (top cancel and clock), but no beep, no lights, nothing. Is there any doubt that that it could only be the control panel (AP4358958)? Would there be anything else to troubleshoot? Oven has not been moved or anything like that. Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Andy. You need to test for power coming to the control board W10769079 in the unit. If there is power there and the display does not work, you will need to order and replace the control board in the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. 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...
Henri K. November 22, 2012 for Model Number Maytag MER6755AAW Symptom: low heat in baking oven. Checked already heating element (20.9 Ohms). Still to check temperature sensor (1100 Ohms @ room temp). If that does not show anything wrong, it must be the control assembly. 1) What range of resistance does the temperature sensor have (for example how much is it at 450°F? 2) In case I replace the control assembly, do I need to replace the OVERLAY as well? I note that the overlay of my current unit is pretty attached to the control assembly plastic holder, and it may break if I try to peel it off. 3) I am inclined to re-mount my existing control assembly and partically insert the connectors to the relays (RED. YELLO, WHITE, BLUE and BLACK (the others will be fully inserted). I hope to double check the application of power (have a good DMM) to the lower bake element. Any comments? 4) It was very difficult to disconnect the large connectors to the control assembly: it only worked when I took it out and used a screw driver to pry them off. Is this normal? Thanks! Henri.
1 Answer Hello Henri, The normal testing procedure for the oven temperature sensor is at 70°F. It should read 1100O ±5O. While testing the sensor, you should tap on it in case there is an intermittent connection. There are some scales that show resistances at different temperatures, but this is dangerous to test it at these temperatures since the whole body gets very hot. The overlay can be carefully peeled off using a butter knife to apply even pressure so it doesn't tear or separate. The wires are made in a locking fashion to prevent any wires from coming off and causing an electrical shock hazard during shipment. This is not only normal but necessary. Read More...
Bob July 16, 2012 for Model Number MER 6755 How do I check for continuity? I do have a Voltmeter (somewhere in my garage).
1 Answer Hello Bob. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. 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...
Bob July 16, 2012 for Model Number MER 6755AAS Bottom Oven Broil element seems to be OK but... bake element? Oven temp only gets to @290 degrees.... New element or what else might it be.....
1 Answer Hello Bob. You will need to test the lower oven bake element WP7406P428-60 and see if it reads closed for continuity. If it is open, you will need to replace the bake element. Read More...
M Allman June 11, 2012 for Model Number mer6755aass I replaced bottom bake element. After I got it back together the control panel would not work and neither of ovens would work. Only the clock shows up on the controln panel. All the top burners still work. Is there a fuse in the control panel or do I have to buy the complete panel, if so what are you return policies. The stove was purchased in 2008
1 Answer Hello M Allman. Try a hard rest on the unit, by disconnecting the power and waiting for around 15 minutes. If the problem continues, you will need to replace the electronic control W10769079. Read More...
Nick May 11, 2012 for Model Number mer6755aaq There has to be an alternative to the "cancel button" for the top oven. I have owned my oven since 2007 and this is the second time it went out. The first time it was within the extended warranty I purchased (luckily). I just called maytag and they said it was $250 for the part and $25 for shipping. This is ridiculous! Obviously this is a common problem. Everywhere I read customers are talking about it. Do they expect me to spend $150-$250 every few years to replace one button that doesnt work? Every other button works perfect, but the cancel button for the top oven (twice)! So please just get us a cheap part to fix it once and for all, like a fuse or something. Not an expensive motherboard for one button that seems to be faulty!
1 Answer Hello Nick! I do apologize for the continued issues you are having with your Maytag appliance. I understand that it can be frustrating, especially with an expensive part. To correct the cancel button issue you will need to purhcase the electronic control W10769079, if needed the overlay is part number 74009995. Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not supply any sort of fuses for your mother board that we would be able to suggest as a replacement part. Thank you for your inquiry. Read More...
