    Just replaced bake element in a Maytag Electric Range model number MER5775QAW the same way it was taken out and does not seem to be preheating….hardly at all….
    the number 40 showed up when i pluggeed the range back in, then went away and the clock time appeared…not sure what could be wrong?

    Sounds like you may only be getting 110 volts to the element. Turn the power off and make sure both wires are securely connected to the element. Check the circuit breaker just in case.

    Will a newly installed bake element give off a smell

  4. appliancejournal Says:

    Yes, for a few minutes until the factory coating burns off.
