How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker and allow the oven to cool.
- Visual check:
- Inspect the lower bake element for blisters, cracks, or burn spots.
- Continuity test:
- Remove the element mounting screws and gently pull it forward.
- Disconnect wires and test the element with a multimeter; it should show continuity (typically 10–40 Ω).
- If open, replace the bake element.
- Inspect wiring:
- Check wires and terminals for burns; repair or replace as needed.
- Control board:
- If element and wiring are good, the bake relay on the EOC may have failed; replace the electronic oven control board.
