Possible Causes

Tripped thermal fuse, No power on one leg of supply, Failed electronic oven control

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before removing panels. For dual-fuel, also shut off gas if working near gas components.

Steps:

  • Check power supply: Verify both legs of the 240 V supply are present at the range terminal block. A missing leg can cause lights and controls to work but no heat.
  • Inspect thermal fuse/high-limit: Access the rear or top of the oven cavity and locate any thermal fuse or high-limit thermostat. Test for continuity. Replace if open with the correct OEM part.
  • Control output: If fuses are good, start a bake cycle and check for voltage at the bake and broil outputs of the electronic oven control. If no output in any mode, replace the control board.

Warning: Do not bypass safety thermostats for normal operation.
