It can be alarming if your stove burner won’t turn off. An out of control burner is a fire and safety hazard that needs to be dealt with immediately. Don’t panic! If the surface element is not turning off, the problem could be in the range coil surface element.
We have for you a simple step-by-step guide, it helps you to fix Maytag ymer8800fw. All you need is working gloves and (new manufacturer-approved coil element). Let’s start!
- Shut off electrical power. Electric ranges typically have 2 house fuses or a double breaker, one for each 120-volt leg of the 240-volt power. To prevent electrical shock and damage to the control board, remove both fuses or shut off both breakers (if a clip connects the double breakers, shutting off one should shut off both).
- Removing the existing coil element. The prongs of the coil element are pushed into the terminal block receptacle that's under the cooktop. Tilt the coil element up slightly and then pull it straight out of the receptacle.
- Pushing a new coil element. Position the new coil surface element in front of the receptacle and push it in until it properly seats in the receptacle. Press the new element down on top of the drip pan.
- Connect your range to power. Turn on the electric power to the range.
If this doesn't work, there could be a defective part that requires a replacement, and you may need to consult a professional.
