Possible Causes
Partially failed bake element, One power leg missing, Weak relay contacts on control board, Door gasket leaking heat
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before testing electrical components.
- Check elements: Observe whether both bake and broil elements heat during preheat (on some models). Replace any element that does not glow or has visible damage.
- Door seal: Inspect the door gasket for gaps or tears. Replace if it does not seal evenly around the door.
- Power supply: Verify full voltage at the terminal block. Low voltage can slow preheat.
- Control relays: If elements and power are good, the control board relays may be failing to deliver full power and may need replacement.
