Possible Causes
Open bake element, Open broil element, Failed relay on main PCB, Faulty temperature sensor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF power at the breaker before inspecting elements.
Visual inspection:
- Check the bake and broil elements for visible breaks, blisters, or burn marks.
- Gently tug each element where it enters the rear wall to ensure it is firmly mounted.
Testing (advanced):
- With power OFF, remove the rear panel and disconnect the element terminals.
- Measure resistance with a multimeter; an open circuit indicates a failed element that must be replaced.
If elements test good: The main PCB or temperature sensor may be faulty. A technician should perform further diagnosis.
