Oven will not heat until you turn the heat up to 400 degrees

Not sure what fan your question refers to, but the fan that removes the heat from above the oven is controlled by a thermostat. It normally does not come on until the air temperature above the oven space is about 300 degrees and does not turn off until it is below 300 degrees.

Hello Bruce Hubley, thanks for your post!

Based off the information you have provided your Frigidaire wall oven will not heat up higher than 400 degrees. It may be a problem with your thermostat or control panel. I would recommend performing a reset on your oven and you can do that by disconnecting power from your oven for roughly ten minutes. If this does not help correct your issue I would suggest having a professional come out to provide the proper repairs on your oven. Best of luck! -Matt

is this 400c or 400f

Have it checked by a properly qualified and licensed technician. You can't see electricity and it is a killer.

Hi, Upon reading your post I immediately thought of a bad ignitor for the oven, but I am not sure whether you have a gas oven or a conventional electric range. So...If it is gas, I'd suggest replacing the ignitor for the hot surface ignition. If it's electric the bake element may be at fault although most range's use the broil in the preheat, so it should still climb up to 400, it would just take a really long time. Maybe you can clarify if it's electric or gas and I can try to move you forward from there. Macmarkus :)

When the inside of the ovens gets hot like that what happens is that the hating leements expands with the heat and when the do the short out on the side of the oven. I just noticed the date but this is still the problem.

The fault is either the capillary has fallen away from back or it is a faulty thermostat.
