Replaced control board and thermal link. Clock display disappears after 5 minutes. Reappears when timer is set or oven door is opened
For model number MER8700DH1
PartSelect logo
Hello David, thank you for getting in touch. The issue with your oven's clock display disappearing after five minutes is likely due to the unit being in a power-saving or “Energy Save” mode. To exit Energy Save mode, press and hold the CLOCK key for 10 seconds. The control will beep, and the display will show the letters “ES” followed by “Off” twice. The display will return to the time of day. We hope this helps.

The oven would take an hour to preheat.
First, we turned on broil and the upper element turned orange and obviously worked. We figured the bottom element went out. The diagram on this site showed a bottom heating element that looked nothing like ours, but after reading other reviews, and reading that part that goes through the back of the oven was in the middle, and not off to the side, we ordered this element. It was perfect. All you have to do is unplug the oven, take out the bottom pan covering the element by removing 2 screws in the back, remove the lower small cover on the back of the oven and then unplug the old element, unscrew the old element on the inside of the stove, then install the new element and put everything back like it was. Nothing to it. It worked like a charm and my oven now heats up fast again. Easiest appliance repair job ever!
