Why is my oven not heating properly? After a loud POP! and a tripped circuit breaker, the oven does not heat properly. I suspect the lower heating element is not functioning although the top element probably is working as bread browns on the top but is under baked on the bottom.

Does your lower element light up when it is heating? If not, time for a new element which is really easy to install - you pull it straight out and then install a new one. With the make and model number you should be able to easily fine the right element online.

SOURCE: Oven will not heat to requested temperature

Shaffy, When baking only the bake element should heat. When broiling only the broil element (upper) should heat. Your oven is a Kitchenaid, you have a 5 year warranty on any electronic element or control board. You may have a temperature sensor that is not working right. The oven just might need to be calibrated, the instructions would be in your owners manual. Your bake element might be failing, it would have to be ohmed out. You also need to verify that the bake element is getting 240V. when turned on. Catriver...post back

SOURCE: Frigidaire electric range smooth top with no oven function

although you dont have hte model number , that is indeed a correct and valid part number for the control lists for a about $120. since your back there give a quick look at the wiring into the unit, is that ok ??? adn where the burnout is on the control does it appear to have shorted out against the back wall??? perhaps a relay on the board just blew??? i really wouldn't thinkn tha another component was goning to make that go bad, also ck the bake and broil elements for continuity, perhapa wire fell off the element blowing out the control

SOURCE: heat element shorted out saw arching from element itself

An Easy Task.  Unplug stove. Remove old element by disconnecting the wires. Purchase new element and install. Plug stove back in.

Stove tripping circuit breaker

Miswired element.

Faulty element.

Faulty thermostat.

Components normally fail and trip breakers was soon as power is connected. Yours has something happening after 10 minutes as the stove is heating up and reaching the set temperature.

Need help with my microwave/oven combo

Big question is which breaker is tripping; MCB (micro circuit breaker) or the RCD?

If it is tripping the MCB the fault is a straightforward overload of the circuit or a short circuit but if the RCD is being tripped there is current leaking to ground.

I note you say you replaced the power control board but you don't make clear which power control board or the reasoning behind the replacement.

You say the breaker is tripping even though you aren't using the oven or microwave but you omit to explain whether these are disconnected from the mains - disconnecting an appliance with a suspected fault would be an important next step.

Heard a loud pop that tripped the stove breaker and main breaker. Now oven wont work on bake or broil but all other functions work fine

Mike - this is for a stove / range - not a washer - right??

I suspect that one of the heating coils melted and shorted, causing the breaker to trip. Given that the main also tripped, it may be even more involved. Please provide more details - including the make and model of the appliance when asking for more help.

Oven not heating properly

most common problems:
1. calrod unit not working(heating element) easy replacement
2. breaker tripped.(sometimes a double breaker will only trip one of the circuit breakers so you end up with half power)

My Kenmore Continuous Cleaning oven is older - it is running, or not running on a 50 amp circuit breaker. I can cook on the stove top, but the oven will only stay going for about 5 minutes before it trips...

If you are tripping a 50 A breaker, you have major problems. First check the breaker, to make sure it is in reality, tripping at 50 amps. As they get older they can suffer heat damage, and will trip at lower currents. How old is it? Does it visibly look like bad (burnt, etc) Is it loose on the mounting buss? Burnt smell? If everything checks out then go to the oven and look for loose connections. There will be heat where there is a 50 amp current draw. If the oven is suspect, I would seriously consider dumping it as soon as possible. This is serious fire safety hazard. Again, loose connections. Check all of them, both AC+ legs, Neutral, and ground.

Electric Dbl Wall Oven-loud popping noise at end of self clean

Bill ,i dont suspect the control unit is the problem im going back to the loud pop you heard I would say the pop you heard was one of the elemants blowing and that the reason the the breaker tripped if you say the clock,timer and light functon are ok it more so points to an elemant in most cases when an elemant blows it breaks the circuit .but the other componants also work when you reset the breaker i think in this case bill i would call a electrician it needs testing,sorry i could not help this time bill,but do not hesatate to contact me if i can help you again.adrian

Oven will not heat

Although I am not familiar with this oven, living in the u/k, I would say that without any doubt the oven element(s) have failed, more so if the fan is working, so I would have hesitation that you replace the suspect element (s)..
Plz let me know how you get on.Thanks.

Main oven will not heat up

Check the lower heating element, you should test the element for continuity, and inspect element wirings for a short.
If it is only the lower part that is not heating, and the circuit breaker tripped off, then it is usually a faulty element.

You can get parts from the following internetional part sellers:

Repairclinic

PArtselect.

Contact them if the part or the model is not in list.

Bottom oven of dacor double oven

I found the lower circuit breaker had been tripped. That didn't fix the problem but upon further inspection whoever had worked on the unit years ago had dropped a screwdriver that had lodged between the oven wall and the rear casing and shorted out the lower heating element. I removed the screwdriver and oven works fine now. I don't think that will solve the cmmclow problem but maybee the curcuit breaker is tripped.
