Safety Warning
This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.
If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before accessing rear panels or element terminals.
Step-by-step checks:
- Try both bake and broil: If neither mode heats, suspect a common supply issue (thermal fuse, control board, or power supply).
- Inspect elements: Look for visible breaks or burn marks on the bake and broil elements.
- Continuity tests: From the rear, disconnect each element and measure resistance. Replace any open elements.
- Check thermal fuse: Locate the thermal fuse or high-limit thermostat on the rear or top of the oven. Test for continuity; replace if open.
- Verify output from control: If comfortable and qualified, check for voltage at the element terminals during a call for heat. No voltage with good elements and fuse indicates a faulty control board.
When to replace parts: Replace the bake element or broil element if open. Replace the thermal fuse / high-limit thermostat if tripped. If all are good and no power is sent, replace the electronic oven control board.
