Hi there,

I have a Maytag Precision Touch Control 800 Electric Smoothtop, model MER5875RCB.

The front right triple element is not working properly. The inner-most element does not come on at all. The 2 other outer elements WILL turn on.

I have been told that it would most likely either be the switch or the triple burner. As I have been quote $180 for the burner, and been told it is not returnable, I want to make sure it is not the switch!

Any ideas how to diagnose? Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike,

You can find the instructions on how to check the element and/or switch as well as other parts in the tech sheets.

- The part number for the triple heating element is AP3873205 and you can buy it from APP just for $106.89

Mike,

Nothing special compare to all others in your range besides it has more wires connected. You have to lift up the top panel to access it.
