Shot in the dark here. A few weeks about, February 25th to be exact the back element in my over went. I replaced it the following day and all was fine. Used the oven last night, no issues. This morning go to put in my turkey for Easter family dinner. NADDA! the element would not work. Took the element back to the parts store who checked it and said it was fine. I removed the old quick connects, added new quick connects and even did a little solder to ensure a good connection. The element doesn't come on. I took a look around back looking for any sign of damaged wiring, corrosion, burning, but again nothing. The oven is about 9 years old, I imagine not worth paying to get repaired. Thought I would ask as many of you guys may have experience with something like this, or just an all around better tech sense than myself. Thank you |

Do you have power at the plug? |
| mike boss:
Yeah, the oven has power. The stove top is working as is the clock, and all the features. IE - I can set a bake temperature. The element however will not come on. |

Does it have any internal fuses? |
| Howard_Casto:
Yeah it sounds like either a fuse or thermostat. Honestly though if you feel that the oven is getting old it might just be worth it to get a new one. I just had to get a dryer after I spent nearly 100 bucks on parts only to determine that the actual part I would need to replace is around 200 bucks. Totally not worth it at that point unless you are REALLY trying tin pinch pennies. |
