Possible Causes
Open or partially open bottom heating element, burnt wiring to bottom element, faulty selector switch contact for bottom heat
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect mains power before accessing the rear or bottom of the oven.
- Visual check: In bottom-heat mode, observe whether the lower element glows. If it remains dark while the top works, suspect a failed element or wiring.
- Test resistance: Access the bottom element terminals from the rear or by removing the oven floor panel. Measure resistance; replace the element if open.
- Inspect wiring: Check for burnt or loose spade connectors at the element and selector switch. Repair or replace as needed.
- Selector switch: If the element is good but not powered in certain modes, test and replace the function selector switch.
