How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power before removing the element or back panel.
- Visual inspection: Look at the bake element inside the oven for blisters, cracks, or burn spots.
- Continuity test: Remove the element mounting screws, pull it forward, disconnect wires, and test for continuity. Replace if open.
- Check wiring: Inspect wires at the element terminals and along the back for burns or breaks. Repair with high-temp wire if needed.
- Control board: If the element and wiring are good, the bake relay on the EOC may have failed. Replace the EOC.
