Quite normal...top element is for grill/broil only. Bottom element is for bake only. If the grill element were to come on during baking a cake it'd burn the top of your cake to a crisp.
Some grill/broil elements cook at 500-700 degrees.
Hi ,this is quite normal to see the grill element going on an off, in your oven as this is thermostatically controlled to ensure an even grill temperature for your food, once the grill area has reached the set temperature you selected, the element will switch off for a set period. until the air temperature goes below the setting. then switches back on again for a set time. it is easier to notice this action when the grill is on a low setting compared to a hot setting on hot settings you may see the element switching on and off more rapidly or staying on longer, than on low settings.
the switching on and off does not effect the average temperature in the oven so your food is still being grilled by residual heat from the grill element when is has switched to off for a while.
This system is used as it is easier to control and more effective to build the ovens to switch on and off rather than controlling the power level to the element. this activity does not mean your oven is defective or that any parts need replacing.
if you feel that your food is not being cooked efficiently then I would consider a specialist check the oven or give it an overhaul or service if needed.
Probably a thermostat going bad shutting elements off. But make sure the element doesn't have a burnt wire or the plug isn't burnt which will cause insufficient voltage
If the temp control works for all other settings, it is working for hot air grilling as it using the same stat....when hot air grilling function is used the grill comes on and when it reaches temp the element switches off and the fan switches on. Once this has happened the element and fan will alternate during the cooking period. The fan and element DO NOT operate at the same time.
if it gets hot but not hot enough its proberly your thermostat and the pen like thing over the wire is just a cover to insolate the bear spade connection
Two possible problems. If the oven has two or more elements for normal operation then one of these elements may be faulty. The thermostat may also be faulty and only heating to a far lesser temperature than required. The way to tell is turn the oven to a normal cooking temperature. If the oven indicator light stays on all the time and doesn't cycle off then it may be an element problem, meaning that the oven can't reach the temperature setting desired. If the oven indicator light goes off after a while and then cycles on and off then the thermostat is working correctly but the temperature may not be hot enough. You may have to purchase a small oven thermometer and check the oven temperature against the thermometer to get a better idea of what the problem is.
More than likely the grill element has failed, and this could account for the oven not getting hot enough, as on some makes, the grill element is on at the same time as the oven element, so if the element has failed, then it will not be hot enough.
My advice would be fit a new grill element, and this hopefully will solve the problem of the oven not being hot enough.
Please rate my solution.
Thankyou.

if its flashing auto.
Press and hold the 2 buttons on the left hand - clock and cook time and then press the + button.
This then sets the time to allow manual and takes the auto off.
