Fred G. March 22, 2016 for Model Number Maytag Gemini Double electric oven My wife is saying the lower oven is not baking properly. Specifically the top of whatever she is baking is not getting done or browned. So she gets burnt bottoms and undone tops The oven preheats just fine and the upper element works on broil. It also seems to be on when on the Bake cycle. (Trust me I burned my finger on it.) The bottom element appears to be working just fine. Is it possible that the upper element is just not getting hot enough? If so, what would cause that? Thanks - Fred
1 Answer Hello Fred, This sounds like a relay issue on the control board. For the specific board part number that we can guarantee will operate properly on your unit, you would need to please post a new question and provide the units' model and serial numbers from its' I.D. tag. This is normally on a flip up tab at the top of the control panel. Feeling back there will reveal it since it cannot be easily seen. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Brian B January 30, 2015 for Model Number JDS9860AAP My oven heats extremely slowly and maxed out at less than 350 after over 2 hrs. I have changed the bake element. Oven sensor checked good and I have verified 220V to the oven. I have replaced the control unit (8507P129-60) and I still have the same issue. Oven SN is 23410547GP. I have not been able to locate any other relays or boards to replace. What should I check next? Thanks in advance.
1 Answer Brian, you're on target, check or replace the auxiliary relay WP74003482. It supplies the L2 power to the oven elements. The relay has to close when a bake or broil cycle is selected. We attempted to send you some illustrated information but the e mail was returned as a deamon mailer. Read More...
Craig R January 24, 2015 for Model Number MER6772BAS Maytag MER6772BAS, upper oven all over the place temp wise. Broiler works, bottom element not so much, intermittent, but mostly no. Sensor reading 1080 ohms, within spec. Elements reading 20 ohms (+/-), within spec. No observable evidence of damage/wear on any of it. Some *clicking* going on in the control panel on occassion. I am told there is an "oven cycle relay", but I can't find it on any parts breakdown unless it is the "Auxilliary relay". If so, I suspect that to be the culprit...but I'm guessing. What do you think? TIA for your input. Craig
1 Answer Craig, You will want to check the wiring of the oven sensor from the sensor to the control board. If the wiring checks ok then the issue will either be the auxillary relay or the control board that is causing the issue. Read More...
Bob September 08, 2014 for Model Number JDS9860ACP Oven heating elements start to heat up then stop then start and stop. result is that it really doesn't get up to temperature. The heating elements are good and I've relaxed the sensor as well. I noticed the Oven Relay to be emitting a high pitch/hum when I set the temperature. Could this be faulty and her the described effect or would the intermittent signal be coming from the control panel?
1 Answer Hello Bob, The squealing board will be the board that has failed. This is the sound the transformer makes when it has failed. Read More...
V April 26, 2014 for Model Number MER6872BCW Bottom oven, bottom element will not heat up. We bought a new element and it is still not working. Broil WILL work, as well as the top oven. Tried using other relay from top ovens and still doesn't work. Please let me know what else I could try. Thanks. V
1 Answer V, This issue would most likely be caused by a faulty control board if you switched the lead from the lower individual double relay to the individual upper relay. This would indicate that the control board WP5701M406-60 is not sending power to the bake element . Read More...
Chris R December 11, 2013 for Model Number Mer6772bab I am having a problem with the bottom element in the lower oven not working...the top element slowly heats the oven up....replaced the lower element and this did not solve the problem...the top oven is working fine.....don't know if it is the control or just a relay.
1 Answer Hello Chris. Based on the information you provided, WP5701M403-60 is the part needing to be replaced. Read More...
Martin October 05, 2013 I am getting a F9 code, and having to use the breaker box to shut the oven off.
1 Answer Hello Martin. It sounds like the control is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Rogelio July 10, 2013 for Model Number Electric Range Maytag Model: MER6872BAQ My oven does not work and on the screen gives me F8 fault code.
1 Answer Hello Rogelio. Based on the error code, WP5701M406-60 is the part you will need to replace. Read More...
Alvin February 06, 2013 for Model Number JDS9860AAP Where is this relay located? I cant find it by the front control panel, is it by a rear relay panel, Where is that? Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Alvin, You should check your series number. This is the first two digits of the serial number. As per the tech sheet, if the serial number begins with 16 or lower, it has no auxiliary relay. If your units' serial number begins with 17 or higher, it is illustrated as being mounted right next to the clock assembly. Read More...
