The light is on, I've got power, the fan is working - the oven just wont heat up. How do I check if the Heating Element is recieving power to ensure it's not the Thermostat that's the problem?
Hello,
I work for a Appliance Parts compnay. I can look up part numbers for many differant appliance parts......You can contact me at www.appliancepartsonline.net [email protected]
As far as the problem you are having is this: If it is not the Tstat or the Bake Element.....then perhaps it is the wires connected to the back element.........I have seen that problem before....check it out...i bet thats the solution!

Hi, I am a washing machine and electric oven repairs engineer and to find out if the problem you are having is the element or not simply do as mentioned by some one else above the continuity test and risistance test and you will have a fair idea whats going on.

Oven appeared normal but not heating up - is it a Thermostat or Element problem.
The simplest approach is to check the element first - this can be done leaving the unit in its built in housing and is relatively easy to do.
Isolate power supplly, remove oven door (for cleaning), remove cover to fan and element - 6 screws. Element and fan exposed. Remove 3 element fixing screws. The element and connections can be drawn into the oven space.
Disconnect the electrical connections - pull connectors off with care - and check the continuity of the element with a test meter also check the resistance between the element and the element fixing plate. The continuity resistance will be in the order of 25 ohms, The resistance to the fixing plate should be infinity. Any significant variation to this assume element faulty.
If these test values are ok then the thermostat is suspect - a big job - call service engineer or write up the next solution!
I think I hve the same problem, but searching for the right part to replace is rather daunting. What part number do I need for a new heating element for the U1241? thanks
