My oven heats but it took 20 min. to preheat to 450 deg. today. The problem could have been for several days. I thought it either heats or not heat at all. Could it be the element. Also, when baking, only the bottom element heats, right? Thank you.

No the broil also heats up,depending on the model you have it could be a problem with the element but if it heats sometimes i don't think it will be the element it could be the thermostat or sensor or a board issue depending on the model you have.you need to get in there with a meter to check out if you're getting 240 volts to the element,the broil element get 120 volts,but the only way to tell is with a meter.if you have fuses in the house instead of breakers check the fuses,you could have a bad fuse and only be getting 120 to the bake element.if you go to remove the element to check it with a meter make sure you kill the power to it or you can damage something else.but checking the elements is a good place to start

after it reached 450 did it work correctly,if you're not sure how the oven is working is to bake cookies and see how they come out,it will take a little time to reach 450 degrees and next time send the brand name and model number so i can help you better.also does the broil element work correctly?turn it on and check that.the top element does come on when baking.

Is preheating this toaster oven necessary? How do you preheat?

Preheat is helpful when you're not cooking for more than a few minutes. If you're going to cook for 20 minutes or more, then most likely you don't need to pre-heat.

To pre-heat, simply turn your toaster-oven on 10 minutes before you put the food in.

Gas oven takes 30 mins or more to to preheat

Open the bottom and have a look at the burner while its heating. The flame should be strong blue/white and both sides the same, if they are not you have some blocked holes in the burner. Remove the burner and clean out the holes (carefully, don\'t ream them out, use a small paperclip to clean them, be gentle.). Above all do NOT use any kind of oven cleaner on them, if they are aluminum, and most are the oven cleaner will destry it.

BOSCH HBL3450UC Single Oven weak/slow pre-heat

I have a Kitchen Aid convection wall oven. It takes 6 - 7 minutes to preheat to 325 degrees. You probably have a bad element. There are 2 elements.

My Kenmore Elite oven will take over an hour to preheat to 350 degrees and never does get done preheating.

There's a few things that can cause this.

1. Check to see if the both that Bake and Broil elements (burners) are heating up. Check the Broil element in Broil mode.

- during pre-heat the Broil element gets cycled on and off for short time durations to speed up the heating. If the Bake element is not working, then the oven will heat, but very slowly and never reach high temperature.

2. If the elements are both working, then it's possible that you have a bad temperature sensor.

- this is a temperature dependent resistance device that should measure 1080 ohms at 70 deg F (room temp).

3. If #1 and #2 are ok, then the problem is with your oven clock/control unit. We rebuild these at fixyourboard.com.

Model GBS307PDQ5: Oven preheated to 425 degrees.

F3 usually means, that the oven temp. sensor is bad and one need to replace it.
The fact, that it's not heating tells me, the fuse in the back also needs to be replaced (requires pulling out).

After jiggling the lower burn element the oven heated up in the normal time. Perhaps a connection had come loose.
