Baffled Baker October 22, 2013 for Model Number gemini maytag doulble electric stove We replaced the bottom stove burn element. The oven heats up to the temperature fine but the food is not cooking all the way thru. Any suggestions. I have tested this with foods and end up using the top oven unit to finish cooking the dish.
1 Answer Baffled Baker, You will want to check the oven sensor to ensure that it is good. You would want to do a resistance check on the sensor and at room temperature of 77 degrees should read 1090 ohms. If not the sensor would need to be replaced. Read More...
Diane April 16, 2013 for Model Number JDR8895AAS Hi. the lower element, the bake element, in the lower oven of my range went out...I think. It preheated to cook on a convection setting, and I heard the signal that it was ready. When I went back into the kitchen, I noticed a very bright white light in the oven (the oven light was not on) and noticed it was coming for the very center of the element and the rest of the element was dark. Based on what I've told you, does it sound like I need to replace any other part other than number 74004107? ~ thank you!
1 Answer Diane, It does sound like the lower bake element is bad and needs to be replaced. There should not be any other parts needed. Read More...
Frustratedbaker March 03, 2013 for Model Number MER6751AAS The top element (broil) stopped working as we were using it yesterday. I removed the element today, and it has good continuity at 24 ohms. But the voltage at the push-on terminals (with element removed) ranges from 1 to 4 volts after the broil timer has clicked on. Sounds like a defective relay to me, but I'd like to make sure that I do not have to have the element connected to get a good voltage reading. Thanks.
1 Answer Frustrated baker, Yes, based on the information it does sound like the relay is faulty on the control board. To get a good check go to the clock assembly and test from L1 to broil with unit set for broil. If you do not have 240 vac then the clock is bad and would need to replace the clock. Read More...
Mad Baker December 17, 2012 for Model Number MER6755AAB I preheated my lower oven to 490 last nite..once ready, I inserted 2 loaves of dough and threw one cup of water onto floor of oven to generate the steam needed for baking..(have done this for years).. 20 minutes later I opened the oven to find the oven not very hot and the dough barely cooking.... I soon determined that the lower heating element is not heating up...but the oven is getting some level of heat (I assume from top element)...could the water I throw in have damaged the heating element? Also, it was my impression that the top element in each of the 2 ovens is for broiling and the bottom one is for baking...if correct, why does the top one heat up when I am baking??
1 Answer Hello Mad Baker. You will need to test the element in the unit. It should read closed for continuity. If the element is good, you will need to order and replace the control board in the unit. The water could cause the issue and it is not recommended by the manufacture to cook like this. 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...
Easy Bake June 26, 2012 I relaced lower eliment it worked for 6 months now it will only heat to 170 and no higher.
1 Answer Hello Easy Bake. test for 240 volts to the element. If it is there, element is bad. If the voltage is not there, but there is 240 to the unit, you will need to replace the control on 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...
Watercolormom April 03, 2012 for Model Number mer6770AAW Are there 2 wires to connect? I can only see one.
1 Answer Hello, I really hate to be the bearer of bad news but if you only see one wire, you're going to have to remove the back panel to get the one that got away. You don't have to remove it completely, but you have to remove enough screws to get to the back side of the bake element. Be sure to discontinue power to the unit before removing the back and wear gloves and sleeves to avoid getting cut! Read More...
Annette M. March 02, 2012 for Model Number MER67728AW Serial # 16222857AV I need the lower over element, I was cleaning the oven and lifted the element up to wipe under it and it poped and sparked, now the left side is not heating. I can still cook but I'm worried the whole thing will go out soon. To replace it does it just pop out and the new one pops in... Of course with the power turned off first.... Thanks for your time
1 Answer Hello Annette. Yes, you will disconnect the power and remove the screws securing the old element. Pull the element out and remove the wires from it. Now install the new element WP7406P428-60 in reverse order. Hope this helps. Read More...
Gary G December 02, 2011 for Model Number MER6751AAB I do not know what you mean by "high limit". The new unit does not heat at all from a cold range. Is there a fuse related to this? As I said everything else works on the range. Still looking for help or do I have to call a repairman? It seems like it should be a simple fix or am I wrong? Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Gary Grummer
1 Answer Gary, A "high limit" is an overheat safety device that "opens" and eliminates power to one side of the heater device, so it won't heat. Based on your post, if the only element you're having an issue with is the lower bake element, you will need to check for a broken,damaged,or loose wire to the element, or You'd have a faulty relay on the control assembly W10769079. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
Larry T. October 08, 2011 for Model Number mer6770aaw Bottom bake element does not work. Tested good 21 ohms. Checked wiring & connections, all good. Can you tell me what to check next? Also self cleaning not working either. I can hear relays clicking when I touch the touch pad, but nothing happens. Thanks for any info on these problems.
1 Answer Hello Larry. You will need to test the thermostat switch WP74004530 located on the back of the unit. It should read closed for continuity. If it checks good, you will need to test and see if the clock is sending power to the element when in bake. If not, you will need to replace the clock assembly 12001661. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Lynne B. May 29, 2011 for Model Number jdr8895aas I replaced the bottom bake element in the oven and the new element back left side of the coil does not seem to be heating up, the rest of the coil appears red when I turn on the oven and the whole back part of the coil remains black. Is this new element defective or is there something else wrong with the oven? The previous coil broke apart near the front. This oven is only four years old.
1 Answer Hello Lynne! It is normal for the back left portion of the bake element WP7406P428-60 to not glow red when the bake is on. Thanks! Read More...
