Maytag Range MES5875BAS Element will not heat

The Large Surface Element is an OEM component for Whirlpool ranges. As a key heat source, it withstands significant thermal stresses each use for cooking tasks. This surface element measures approximately 10” in diameter.

Over time, microfractures may accumulate in the ceramic glass from repetitive heating/cooling cycles. Mineral deposits also build up on the surface, reducing heat transfer effectiveness.

Symptoms involve:

• Inconsistent or diminished heat from the designated zone 
• Noticeable cracks, clouding or chips in the glass material
• Safety hazards if integrity is lost, exposing electrical/gas

The element is compatible also for select KitchenAid and Maytag appliances.

Burner not heating or 'Hot Surface' light stays on? This electric cooktop surface element is likely the fix. DIY-friendly, most installs take 15 minutes.

This replacement surface element restores proper heating on an electric range or cooktop's top burner. When the original element is open, weak, or damaged, it helps the selected cooking zone reach temperature and heat more evenly.

• Converts electrical power into heat at the chosen surface zone for everyday cooking
• Replaces an element that is open, shorted, or physically damaged
• Common symptoms: surface burner won't heat, heats intermittently, heats very slowly, or shows uneven temperatures
• Works with existing controls to maintain set heat levels

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance; allow the cooktop to cool completely
• Access the element per your model's service procedure (often by lifting the top or accessing from beneath the cooktop)
• Transfer wires one at a time to the matching terminals; secure the element and any brackets as originally installed
• Inspect connectors/wiring for heat damage and address as needed before restoring power and testing

Burner won't turn off or only heats on high? This infinite switch controls heat settings for your electric range's surface element. DIY repair.

If your large burner won't heat or stay at the right temperature, the element switch likely needs replacement. Simple 10-15 minute repair with a screwdriver.

The Terminal Block is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It serves as a crucial connection point for the range’s electrical wiring, ensuring a safe and reliable transfer of power to the appliance.

Over time, terminal blocks can deteriorate due to factors such as heat exposure, electrical surges, or wear and tear. When the terminal block becomes damaged or corroded, it can lead to poor electrical connections or potential safety hazards.

Symptoms of a bad terminal block include:

• Burnt or scorched connections
• Intermittent power loss to the range
• Difficulty in the range heating up properly
• Visible damage or corrosion on the terminal block

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
