I've had my oven for about 5 years, last year I noticed it was not heating up - did a little checking and the bottom element was bad. Replaced it, oven worked great until a couple of months ago and now it is taking forever to heat up. I've noticed the top element is not heating up, is this common for standard cooking or will that element on heat if on broil?

Check for loose connections on or near the element. Heat form the element could be causing the connection to expand causing arching and tripping the MCB.

Sounds like a bad connection or bad sensor.
Have a qualified tech check it out for you.

Hi

Sounds like your oven thermostat is at fault. You will need to replace it.

If the fan is working o/k, but there is no heat, then it is more than likely the element that has failed again.
The fact that you had it replaced a year ago, does not mean tha it will last a long tiime, it is quite common for them to fail in a relatively short space of time.
Take my advice and fit a new element.
Thankyou.

If the new element is good then the next thing to check is the selector knob (COOK/BROIL) and the thermostat for the oven.

To check the thermostat, turn the selector to BROIL and turn the thermostat up until the top element begins to heat. Let it heat up a little then turn the thermostat down until it clicks off. If this works then your thermostat is working.

The problem then must be your selector control. Remove and replace (turn power off at circuit breaker box first!).

Of course, if the thermostat won't turn on the upper element either then it must be the thermostat.

There is a possibility also that a loose/broken/burned wire is causing the problem. You should check for this when you open up the control panel (after turning off the circuit breaker!).

Good luck!

DEPENDING ON USE WITHIN THAT YEAR IT MIGHT NEED REPLACING AS IT COULD HAVE BURNT OUT.

Usually, when an oven won't heat, it's because the bake element is burned out. The bake element is the black, pencil- thick tube at the bottom of the oven. When the oven heats, the element glows red. This element has an expected life-span of several years. It may last for only one; it may last for many more. When the element burns out, you need to replace it.

Is this an oven or the cook top?

A blown oven element is possible. You may still be able to bake but the oven will seem to take forever to warm up. An easy check would be to crank the heat up full bore and put your hand near the top then the bottom. You should feel more intense heat the nearer you get to a working element.

just one light. if its not the element, then you could have the oven thermostat. check that

the yellow may be the oven temp sensor?
