How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before testing elements.
- Visual inspection: Check the bake and broil elements inside the oven for visible breaks, blisters, or burn marks.

- Check wiring: Inspect wires from control to elements for burns or loose connections. Repair or replace as needed.
