A Maytag electric oven in Uniontown stopped heating completely, leaving the homeowner unable to bake or roast. Our inspection revealed a failed bake element that had burned out and needed replacement.
The Problem
The customer reported their Maytag oven would not heat at all. The oven would turn on and the display worked normally, but no heat was being produced during baking cycles. This is a common failure pattern when the bake element fails completely.
Diagnosis
We checked the power supply to confirm 240V was reaching the unit, then inspected the bake element at the bottom of the oven cavity. The element showed clear signs of failure with visible burn marks and an open circuit when tested with a multimeter. The broil element and all other components tested normally.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: WPW10310274 — bake element
- Work performed: Removed the failed element, installed new bake element, reconnected wiring
- Result: Oven heated to proper temperature and maintained consistent heat throughout test cycle
Is It Worth Repairing?
This MES5752BAW16 model is a solid mid-range Maytag oven that typically runs 10-15 years with proper care. A bake element replacement is one of the more straightforward repairs and restores full function. Unless the unit has multiple other issues or is showing significant wear, this repair makes good economic sense.
Maintenance Tips for Maytag Electric Ovens
- Clean spills immediately to prevent them from baking onto the element and causing premature failure
- Run the self-clean cycle only when necessary — excessive use can stress heating elements
- Check that oven racks slide smoothly and don’t scrape against the element during use
