Electric Oven very slow to heat

Our Hotpoint electric oven has recently developed a heating problem. While all of the burners appear to be working normally, the oven has decided that it doesn't want to heat up. In testing it today, it took over 40 minutes to pre-heat to 350 degrees. Do you have any ideas on what component(s) might be failing? Thanks for your help!

I have the same problem on a Frigidiare double oven. It takes about 18 minutes on each oven to reach 350 degrees while in convection mode. I did cycle the 240 volt circuit breaker just to see if that would fix it. It did not.

I have the same problem with an electric Amana stove/oven. I've been waiting for more than 40 minutes tonight for it to pre-heat to 350.

Burners and oven on Hotpoint free standing electric stove won't heat at all.

Find someone with a good electrical meter and have them test the sockets to see if there is any electricity to the burners.
Also, check each burner and check for continuity through the burner itself.
These elements can all burn out, I've see it happen.
Be blesssed.

I have a Hotpoint rb757 bb1wh range. When the oven is on, the right back burner heats up. All the electric burners are off. Why is this happening?

Sounds normal due to the oven needing to vent somewhere. They usually vent from under back right burner.
