Possible Causes
Failed top oven element, faulty top oven thermostat, selector switch contact failure for top oven, wiring fault specific to top cavity
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect the cooker from mains before removing any panels.
- Test top oven functions: Try grill and conventional modes in the top oven. If all fail, suspect power feed, thermostat, or selector. If only one mode fails, suspect that element.
- Element continuity: Access the top oven element terminals from the rear or inside and test with a multimeter. Replace if open circuit.
- Thermostat and selector: On knob-controlled New World double ovens, test the top oven thermostat and selector switch contacts for continuity when turned on. Replace faulty components.
- Check wiring harness: Inspect the harness between the main terminal block and the top oven controls/elements for breaks or heat damage.
