Marc September 14, 2020 for Model Number MER6755AAW The upper oven bake element heats and keeps set temperature. The upper broil element remains cold. It has been Replaced and checked to be a good element. Where to look next?
1 Answer Marc, You will need to move the range away from the wall, remove the back panel and check for burnt or damaged wires between the upper broil element and the oven control board, Also check the 74009969/ 74009969 Hi-Limit Thermostat for a "closed" circuit at room temperature. If all checks are OK, replace the oven control W10769079/W10769079 Control-Electronic. Thanks, Read More...
Ramona January 31, 2019 for Model Number Kitchenaid KGRS505XSS Both my top and bottom ovens do not cook evenly. One side of the cake browns and the other side is pale. The cakes do not rise evenly. Could this be the sensor. If the recipe calls for 350 degrees I have to set the ovens to 330 degrees.
1 Answer Ramona, it is possible that there is a sensor error, however, a lot of times a temperature difference can be because the unit needs to be calibrated. You can find the calibration steps in the user manual for your appliance. Read More...
Judy January 10, 2019 for Model Number MER6772BAW My top oven bake is not working properly. It won't heat up. I set the temperature and broil works fine. I have had the element tested and it is fine. I have been told it is the temp sensor or the control board, everything else on this stove works fine.
1 Answer Judy, you will want to test the resistance of the sensor probe as well as volt output to the bake element. It is easier to start with testing voltage to the bake element and then accessing the connection for the probe at the control. To test the voltage going to the element it is easiest to pull the unit out, unplug it and remove the back paneling giving you access to the element connections. From there, plug the unit back in, turn the bake setting on and place the probes of a multimeter on both connections. With a meter probe on each connection, you should be reading around 220v AC going to the element. If you do not have 220v going to the element, you will then want to turn the unit off, disconnect the temperature probe, and measure the ohms of the temperature probe. At 100 degrees, the probe should read 1143 ohms. At a temperature of 80 degrees the probe should read around 1100 ohms. If the probe reads within that, and 220v is not getting to the element, you will need the control WP5701M403-60. If the temperature probe did not read within the mentioned ohms, then you will need the temperature probe sensor WP7430P044-60. Read More...
Phaddy November 24, 2018 for Model Number JDR8895AAS Jenn Air Dual Fuel/Dual Oven On my model oven I was told that I need to Cut the Wire from the sensor and splice it together with the oven b/c the connector isn't compatible anymore. For one thing, this wasn't explained at purchase w/ the C.S./Order person I spoke to that this would need to be done, it wasn't till after I received the package and I called C.S. and that person had to tell me this. MY QUESTION IS, is it possible to have the wires spliced incorrectly to one another? Crossed? My Broiler works but not the bottom, the bottom worked b/4 replacing the sensor. Does it only either work or not work if the wires are (crossed?) and no broiler/bottom element, nor oven light would work at all? Thanks for any help that my be shared in answering my Q.
1 Answer Phaddy, the oven sensor wires can be spliced together either way, it will not effect the way it senses temperatures. Check the bake and broil elements for resistance, should read between 20-30 ohms. If your elements check out, the problem is going to be in the control board. Read More...
Harry August 10, 2017 for Model Number mer6875aa6 I have a Maytag Gemini range with 2 ovens. The lower oven works fine. The upper oven is the problem. When you set a temperature it immediately registers that it has reached that setting. Example. I set to bake, enter 300, 300 appears in display and beeps signaling it has reached 300. When set to broil element does not get hot, after about 30 seconds display shuts down and in the middle of display a small word "bake" appears. My thought from reading the posts is it may be the temperature sensor, but not sure. Your advise would be greatly appreciated.
1 Answer Hello Harry. You will need to check the oven sensor in the unit first and make sure it is good. If so, then it sounds like the control board is bad and will need to be replaced in the unit. Read More...
Martha O September 19, 2016 for Model Number MER 6755AAW Maytag Gemini Upper over will heat to temperature set then in a short time go off. Does it sound like a temperature sensor or a control board?
1 Answer Martha, You will want to test the oven sensor first and make sure that it is working properly. To do this you will need to test it at the control board with it plugged into the board. This will eliminate the wire and the sensor. You will test for resistance of 1090 ohms at room temp. The equation that you would use for when the temperature rises is for every 1 degree increase you will add 2 ohms of resistance. This will be the best way to test the sensor and wire. If these test ok then the issue will be the control board. Read More...
Kristi September 14, 2015 for Model Number MER6772BAS Wondering if this temperature sensor is also the same part for the bottom oven? It stipulates the upper oven only. Just need to know if it's the same part for the lower as well.
1 Answer Kristi, Due to the difference in the cavity sizes the oven temperature sensors are different. The upper oven part no. WP7430P044-60 and the lower oven part no. 12001656 aren't interchangeable. Read More...
Dave May 07, 2015 for Model Number mer6765baw Top oven broil burner works on broil, but when you are baking it will not come to brown what you are cooking. Where should I start troubleshooting at?
1 Answer Hello Dave, You either have a bad bake element 74004105 or the clock assembly W10769079 has a failed relay on it. Read More...
Frank July 09, 2014 for Model Number MER6775AAS The broiler in the upper oven does not work. I replaced the heating element and it still doesn't work. What should I try next??
1 Answer Hello Frank. If the element is new, you will need to replace the control board W10769079. Read More...
Jon R January 16, 2014 for Model Number MER6772BAC This is a double over Maytag Gemini. Was cleaning out the bottom oven and when I tried to use it later, the tempature would only go to 190 degrees. However the upper over will work and go to the tempature I select. Could the be the oven sensor or the heat element?
1 Answer Hello John. You will need to test the bake element. It should read closed for continuity. 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...
