Possible Causes

Burnt out bake element, Loose or burnt element terminals, Faulty bake relay on control board, Broken wiring to element

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before working inside the oven or behind the range.

  • Inspect bake element: Look for visible breaks, blisters, or burn marks on the lower element.
  • Test continuity: Remove at least one wire from the element and measure resistance. An open circuit means the element is bad.
  • Check terminals: Pull the range out and remove the rear panel to inspect element connections for burning or looseness.
  • Replace element: Unscrew the element from inside the cavity, pull it forward, transfer wires, and install the new element.
  • If element is good: The oven control board’s bake relay or wiring may be faulty and require professional diagnosis.
