Frankie January 08, 2020 for Model Number Mer6772baw Model MER6772BAW. The upper oven light will not turn off. I tried shutting down power by turning it off at the breaker, waited 60 seconds, then restored power. The light remained on. Tested by opening the door and holding in the door rod, but the light stayed on. So I don't think the door needs to be adjusted.
1 Answer Hello Frankie, This can be a harness issue, a bad door switch, or a bad interior light switch on the control panel. The oven lights automatically come on when the doors are opened. When the doors are closed, press the LIGHT pad (upper or lower oven) on the control panel to turn the lights on or off. This switch 74008717 could be bad. Read More...
Willie January 05, 2015 for Model Number MER6770AAB What is the limited switch and what is it function? Doing self cleaning the oven stop and the door are lock, will not unlock. Before the self cleaning the oven was working fine. I know that it can come from over heating, can the limited switch possibly be my answer to replace.
1 Answer Willie, The limit switch would be a safety to make sure that the oven does not overheat. You will want to test the limit switch for continuity and make sure that it has continuity. If no continuity then the part is bad and would need to be replaced. You will also want to check to make sure that the control board is sending power to the bake and broil elements. Read More...

Davey July 01, 2012 for Model Number Maytag MER6871AAB I am replacing the switch and the wires had burned off. When installing the switch, Which wire goes to which side?
1 Answer Hello Davey, This device has no polarity. In other words, it's like a fuse in the sense that the circuit doesn't care which way it's installed. You can hook it up either way and it will work just fine. Read More...
Paul April 21, 2011 for Model Number MER6872BAW Where is Part AP4096908 Relay, Switch (PRI) and can I replace it myself?
1 Answer Hello Paul. First disconnect the power to the unit. You will need to uninstall the oven to change the switch. It is located on the back of the unit. You will need to remove the back panel to access this part. You can test this with a multi-meter MA-DM1. It should read closed for continuity. 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...
