    I have a frigidaire and we just built our house in Feb. of 2007. It is now Nov. of 2007 and the broiler works, and the burners on top work, but the oven will not heat up. Any suggestions? With 4 kids, I am ALWAYS using my oven, and life is getting difficult without it.

    Exactly! It's a GE Spectra and the top and the broiler work but not the oven. I have three kids. This is a problem.

    I have a hot point oven, gas, the stove works and the broiler works but the oven does not heat up.

  • Allie4331 Aug 12, 2008

    I left the oven on too long one day. Now it won't work (heat up). The broiler and individual burners work fine. It is a gas appliance.

    Thanks!

    I have a 2002 KitchenAid electric oven/range. The burners work, but the oven broiler and baking elements(both) do not work. When I set the oven,I hear a click, as if it were turning on, but no heat. Is it possible that both elements need replacing at the same time? Or is it a different problem all together?

Most modern gas ovens and many broilers use a "glow-bar" style of igniter that glows red-hot to ignite the gas. If the igniter doesn't reach the proper temperature, the gas valve won't open. You may need to replace the igniter.

I have an electric stove. My stovetop works fine all four, however the inside of the oven is my problem. The bottom burner will light up red but the top part wont. My food isn't browning nor cooking in the middle. However the bottom is burning to a crisp what is wrong.

Does the top element turn on during pre-heat on an Kenmore 790.92 range
No, the top element was designed to only work on the broiler setting.

1 Answer

First start up
You're actually referring to the "broiler" elements. Most electric ovens have these at the top of the main oven space. (Some gas ovens are set up the same way, but many put the broiler elements in a bottom drawer.)

As their name implies, broiler elements are active only when you're broiling. They will not go on for baking.

Broiling is the process of cooking food by exposing it directly to a high heat source at close range. To broil a steak, for example, you would place the pan holding the steak on an oven rack raised to the top or next to top position in the oven (consult the manual) and set the oven to broil. The top elements will then turn on and cook the meat by direct radiation.

Most people, however, use ovens for baking far more often than for broiling. Baking is the process of cooking food (cakes, casseroles, roasts etc) by indirect heat. In other words you raise the oven to a certain temperature, put the food on a rack more in the middle of the oven, and let the surrounding heat cook it over time. When you bake the top broiler elements usually don't come on at all.

I hope this helps.

Broiler element doesn't heat

Oven Won Turn on

the broil element
is the heating element that is found at the top of the oven and produces a very high heat for broiling. If the broil element isn't working, you should first do a visual inspection for signs that the element has blistered or separated. If the element appears normal then you can check for continuity with a multi-meter. Remove power from the appliance before performing this test. Remove the back panel and locate the terminals for the broil element and inspect the terminals and wires for signs of overheating or damage.

If there is no continuity then the element will need to be replaced. If the wires are damaged then they will need to be repaired. If the element is ok then you will need to check the broil circuit to determine the cause. This involves live voltage checks and should only be performed by qualified persons. Components to check include fuses, if the range is equipped, and oven control thermostat or electronic control. Depending on the manufacturer of the element, you will normally read between 19 ohms and 115 ohms

Broiler element doesn't work
Reseating the Element The broiler is heated using an electric element which should be clipped in to the top of the broiler enclosure. If this has come loose then it might not be making contact with the necessary terminals. Try to reseat the terminal but before doing so you must ensure that the electricity is turned off.
Testing the Element The element is what heats up and cooks the food in the broiler. Over time the heat can damage the broiler element. These elements are supported by stand-offs and if the element burns out or becomes damaged then this can be a common reason why the broiler isn't working.
The easiest way to test whether this is working is to turn the broiler on and look at the element. If it is working correctly then the element should be glowing red.
Another slightly more complicated test for the broiler element is to remove the element from the oven and disconnect it. Then use a multimeter to check the continuity of the element. Set the multi-meter to measure resistance and then put it either side of the element. The normal measurement should be between 20 and 40 ohms. If the element is infinitely resistant then this means it's broken and will need to be replaced.
Testing Oven Controls Another reason why the broiler will fail to work is because of problems with the oven controls. A thermostat is used to set the temperature of the broiler, and the oven selector controls are used to control the setting of the broiler.
Turn the oven controls on to see whether the broiler is working properly. If not the controls can be removed and tested using a multimeter. Check the outputs to ensure that the controls are working correctly.
These can also be replaced if required by fitting a replacement part designed specifically for your oven.

Hotpoint oven won't heat above 250 degrees broiler works fine as well as the stove top
either its the oven sensor rod located at the top of the ovens cavity,or your bake element could be getting a hot spot which is when it gets a discolored spot in the element and can no longer pass sufficient current to heat the oven past 250 degrees

Broiler doesn't turn on completely
The top element should come on when Broiler is selected. If both ovens have a broiler mode, then look for something failed in the circuit for the broiler heating elements (it's unlikely both broiler elements would fail together.). If there is only 1 oven with a broiler, look for a failed broiler element.

My oven has increased only 65 degrees in almost an hour....what does it mean when it heats up, but SLOWLEY??
The broiler element on the top of the oven comes on during the preheat cycle to speed things up and then only the lower element keeps the temperature steady. One of those elements is bad, probably the broiler. Try using the broiler and see if it works. If not, you need to disconnect the elements from the oven and check them with an ohm meter. If gthe elements check out ok, then it must be the temperature sensor/thermostat.

Kenmore electrical oven
Trying to better define the problem....

Do you have any cuts, holes or "shorting" or tin-foil/aluminum around your bottom bake heat-element? If so, you may need to replace the baking Heat Element. (Ensure you do not use aluminum foil around your heat element to prevent your oven from getting dirty)

To replace your baking heat element, with power off; remove 2 screws securing the bake element. Slightly tug and pull towards you for about 3 inches or so and disconnect the connecting wires at each end. Then completely remove the heat element and install new in reverse manner. Whats' you're model number?

I have a Frigidaire Gallery Self Cleaning Oven 27 Model GLEB27S7ABA I was broiling something about a week ago and heard an alarm...there were flames coming out of the oven. Now it takes forever to heat up. I installed a new heating element, thinking that the "fire" may have damaged it....It has been preheating for over 30min and has only reached 250 degrees. Could the problem be the thermostat?
