Oven not working (blown element)
-
- Check the circuit breaker and reset if tripped. Verify oven is getting power.
- Open the oven door and visually inspect baking and broiling elements for any damage.
- Use a multimeter to check for continuity in each element. No continuity means it’s blown.
- Unplug oven or turn off power at breaker. Remove interior oven racks.
- Locate element mounting screws and wiring. Unscrew element and pull out.
- Attach the new replacement element, matching the wiring colors. Secure mounting screws.
- Reinstall oven racks and any interior reflector pans.
- Restore power and test oven function in bake and broil modes. Preheat oven first.
- If oven still doesn’t heat, check temperature sensor and thermostat for issues.
- Contact manufacturer if new element gets power but doesn’t heat oven cavity.
