Lower heating eliments don't heat or glow. Only top ones work

Ask a appliance repair man they may know of something that may work .

Dear Tang_Tuong,

I would check all of the fuses, the internal fuses and wiring for any signs of damage and that particularly from heat. Also multimeter the connectors of the wiring to the element and see if you are getting a voltage reading, if you get a reading from the wiring and the element is not heating up, then you need to replace that element, do these checks for all of the internal components and you will find the one at fault.

I do hope this is the fixya for you and look forward to hearing how you get on.

Yours sincerely

Buy a new toaster. Very cheap appliance.

it is several prosibilites for your problem:
1) the wire of the oven is damaged;
2) the thermostat is decalibrated or damaged;
3) one or more heating element is intrerupted or burned.
solution's:
1) check the wire an replace or repair where is posible whit similar heat resistant wire;
2) replace the thermostat whit similar one;
3) replace the heating element

FInd the break in the heater eliment and twish it bac together. It will then work again for a while.

you are correct . it is the convection . the fan blows the air around and away from the elements ,when that is happening the elements can never get hot enough to glow , as the oven gets hotter and at some point the air is so hot even with it blowing the elements will start to get red ... this is good because todays elements are thin and cheep and melt easy so the fan keeps the heat away from them and the elements last longer ...... if this answer helped please rate it a 3 or 4 stars .this high rate will help keep me in the paid answer department ... thank you

Thrash it.
They are not meant to be repaired because the lawyers told them there is too much risk.

Oster 6233 toaster oven top heating elements don't work

I investigated further (took it apart again to satisfy my curiosity) and it appears that one of the top heating elements (the front one) is open (burnt out). I cannot see an easy way to replace it (contacts are spot welded) and I can't find a place to buy the element. If I could it probably won't be worth it since a new oven costs $25 at Target (B&D TR0490W). Too bad since the oven looks like new. I assume the upper elements burn out more frequently because heat rises from the lower elements and adds extra heat at the top.

The upper element for AS690 is part# 512623
Thw lower element for AS690 is Part# 512624
