Possible Causes
Open bake element, Open broil element, Failed relay on EOC, Loose wiring at element terminals
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker and verify power is off before touching any wiring or elements.
- Check elements visually: Inspect the bake (bottom) and broil (top) elements for breaks, blisters, or burn marks. Any visible damage means the element should be replaced.
- Test elements: Disconnect one wire from each element and measure resistance. Typical GE Profile elements read 15–40 Ω. Replace any open element.
- Inspect wiring: Check for burned or loose wires at the element terminals and at the rear terminal block.
- Check control output: If both elements test good, the EOC may not be sending power. This usually requires replacing the EOC.
Warning: Do not attempt live voltage testing unless you are trained and equipped; contact a technician if unsure.
