The old (probably 70s) wall mount double oven has stopped working--right after a batch of bread had finished baking, the next task could not be done as the oven would not longer heat up. The model is re-97BK, ser. #72CC7943. Is there any way i can service this myself (at least, for a basic repair or two?) I am not experienced working with electrical appliances or electricity.

SOURCE: electric starter gas oven model jgrp17 won't heat

more than likely your glow bar ignitor has stopped working or at least pulling enough amps to open the safety valve. The floor of the ovens come out may have a couple screws toward the back. take the floor out if a diffuser is on top of the burner remove it. the glow bar ignitor is mounted on the burner turn the oven on and watch it should glow bright red and in about 30 secs open the gas safety valve. If it does not glow you may want to verify power to the ignitor, more than likely the ignitor is the problem. If it glows but does not open the safety valev still replace the ignitor not pulling the required amps to open the safety valve. just put a little dish soap on the screws to the ignitor to help from srtripping them out

SOURCE: Frigidaire Model FEFL78CSA oven not heating

I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. I tried to respond to your question yesterday, but the web link was not working. Your assumptions are probably correct as the ERC controls all the oven features on an electric range. This is a fairly simple repair job that any do-it-yourselfer can accomplish.

The ERC is easily accessed by removing the back panel of the operator console. The circuit board is screwed in place with a series of wire connectors. Most models have the wire color coding printed on the circuit board for ease of identification. In addition, there should be a wiring diagram located either inside the console, or on the back of the range. This will also list the color codes. If not, I would recommend you label all wiring BEFORE removing to ensure everything is reconnected correctly (a digital camera can come in handy as well).

New ERCs generally do not come with the overlay. This is the plastic printed face-piece that covers the front of the board with all your controls and numbers. Some manufacturers provide this with the new ERC, but MOST do not. The existing one can be reused by carefully removing and reinstalling to the new ERC. You may consider ordering an overlay too if yours is in bad shape.

You can order a replacement at searspartsdirect.com. Pcappliancerepair.com also carries the part for just a few cents cheaper. I recommend the sears website for the helpful exploded view illustrations. Just type in your model number and look under the "Backguard" heading for item number 20 (part #316207529). The overlay is listed as item 20A (part #316220804). If you wish to save a little and order from the other website, use the part numbers provided by Sears for your search criteria as I could not find your model number listed.

Please ensure you UNPLUG the appliance before servicing. No special tools are required. If you have questions, please post back and let me know. I hope this helps you.

SOURCE: Jenn-Air electric wall oven door opens slightly when in bake mode

you either have a bent door hinge or a broken door spring.
check the hinges by opening the door and see if it opens past 90 degrees. if it leans towards the floor then the hinges are bent.
if not then your door springs are broken off. you can check this by seeing if the door "feels" heavy when opening.
either way the door should close tight against the frame when up and the light should not come on without opening the door.

My Chef Classic Wall mounted fan forced oven stopped working. Its grill section working. Fan and the light in the oven working well. Bot oven doesnot heat up. Please give a tip what is probably wrong?

The bake element has gone bad. They can visually look fine but still be bad. To check and replace that element you will unfortunately need to kill the power and remove it from the wall. Remove the back cover. Check for a low resistance (around 16 ohms) across the bake element. If the resistance is high the element is bad. Google the make and model for a replacement element.

Why has both top elements stop working at the same time

Hello kimberlymaso - If you are referring to the bake element, but the broil element works then you would need to just replace the bake element. If both your bake and broil element does not work, then there might be a problem with the wiring communication. However, if the oven does not bake and/or broil but the cook top works; contact a professional to diagnose the EOC (electronic oven control).

Dacro Wall oven (electric) does not heat past 345 degrees on bake or convection bake but broiler works and bottom oven works fine (for bake, convection bake and broil).

it could be the oven temp sensor rod located near the top of the inside of the oven,or possibly the bake element has a hot spot on the element and can no longer pass enough current thru this spot to correctly heat to your settings a hot spot on the element will look discolored in this area

I have an older model double oven by Kenmore - probably 15-18 years old. I was baking bread in foil three days ago and the oven set on bake 325 degrees. (I had been cooking a roast in it for several hours...

Hi.

the oven may have locked in consequence of the self cleaning cycle.

After unplugging, allow the oven cooling down for few hours.

If the is still locked, then the high temperature generated in self cleaning cycle may have damaged temp probe, door latch, or electronic control.

Parts must be tested to discover the fault.

Call Kenmore at the number listed on the owners manual.

Regards.

Uneven rising & baking in convection oven

I repair commercial cooking equipment for a living. When a customer complains about uneven cooking the #1 thing that these manufacturers ask is..... are they turning (180*) the baking sheets half way thru the cook cycle. #2 are they staggering the pans front to back & side to side. It's kind of a pain but, works for the commercial ones.

Heating element on upper oven of a wall Thermador Oven

The control switch may be bad on it. If there are 2 elements on the top, they both are not bad at the same time.Check to see if the wires have not burned off the control switch first. Check to see if your breakers are O.K. Turn them both(maybe 3) off and then reset.

MAJIC CHEF DOUBLE OVEN NOT WORKING

I just had a model 976-4CX put in...I have no manual...I'm trying to find one. I thought I had a problem with the element, dial or thermostat. The bottom worked, but the top stopped working. There are 2 timers with dials next to the clock labeled Start and Stop, and Push for Manual. Come to find out my problem was solved by adjusting the Start and Stop dials and/or pushing in for manual!?!
If I had a manual I'd know how these timers worked.
