✅ Cross Reference Information
Common Symptoms
- Little or no heat during baking
- Uneven oven heating
- Bake element does not glow red when commanded on
- Visible blistering, holes, or burned areas on the element
Check Before Replacing
- With electrical power disconnected and the element fully cool, visually inspect for holes, blisters, or burned sections.
- If trained to use a multimeter, test the disconnected element for continuity only with power removed; lack of continuity indicates an open element circuit, but does not by itself prove the complete oven fault.
- Confirm that the element terminals and wiring connections are secure and undamaged after power is disconnected.
