Possible Causes
Open-circuit bottom element, Loose or burnt element terminals, Faulty function selector switch, Failed bake relay on control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect mains power before accessing the element.
Steps:
- Visual inspection: Look at the bottom element (if visible) for cracks or burn marks. On hidden elements, access from the rear.
- Continuity test: Disconnect the element and measure resistance. An open reading means the element is faulty.
- Check terminals: Inspect spade connectors for overheating or looseness; replace any damaged connectors.
- Replace element: Remove mounting screws and fit a new bottom oven element of the correct rating.
- Selector/relay: If the element is good but not powered, test the function selector switch or control board relay for continuity when in bake mode.
