Bill January 29, 2013 for Model Number MER6770AAW We have a bad upper over broil element, was arcing. Upon taking apart I noticed the wire that attaches to the element and the limit switch was frayed and burnt, I disconnected the wire and taped up the other wire figuring the rest of the stove and cook top would work until the new parts are received. Upon reseting the breaker the nothing worked until you turned a cook top knob then the clock would come on but nothing gets hot. Would this limit switch being out of the loop stop everything from working? Also is the wire used between the element and the limit switch a special wire?
1 Answer Hello Bill. If the limit switch is out of the loop, the heating circuit will not work on the unit. Read More...
Sly September 24, 2012 for Model Number cer1360aaw Will a bad terminal block keep your oven and broiler from working?
1 Answer Hello Sly, Yes it certainly will. You see, both legs of the voltage and neutral/ground are all supplied through the terminal block. If you lose electrical continuity, the unit cannot operate properly. Read More...

Chester N. October 10, 2011 for Model Number MER7662WS The terminal block on the back of this stove has been damaged by what looks to be a defective part! One of the metal positive posts attached to the block worked its way loose and came in contact with the panel cover and created a dead short against the panel which burt a hole through the galv. panel cover. It also burt the red wire to the stove. Have you heard of this before? This stove is 2 years old and has worked fine. We noticed a flash and a pop 2 to 3 times (at different times) The short alos burt the positive leed on the pigtail, but looks ok to use. Need your thoughts?
1 Answer Hello Chester. This was cause by the cord being installed improperly. One of the screws was not tight enough when it was installed. Over time is arcs and works it way off and burns things in the way. You will need to replace all burnt parts on the unit, including the cord. Hope this helps. Read More...
