How to Fix It
1
Step 1: Unplug the range and wait 2 minutes, then reconnect and test.
2
Step 2: Check the bake and broil elements visually for cracks, blistering, or burn-through spots.
3
Step 3: Use a multimeter to test the bake and broil elements for continuity. Replace if open.
4
Step 4: Disconnect the oven temperature sensor and check its resistance. It should measure approximately 1080 ohms at room temperature. Replace if resistance is off by more than 200 ohms.
5
Step 5: Inspect the wiring harness between the control board and heating elements for damage.
6
Step 6: For gas ranges: Check if the igniter is glowing. If it glows but the oven does not heat, test for 3.2 to 3.6 VAC at the gas safety valve. Replace the valve if voltage is correct; replace igniter if no glow.
7
Step 7: If all components test normal, the electronic control board may need replacement.
Pro Tip
This fix requires some technical knowledge. If you're unsure about any step, consider contacting support or a qualified technician.
