I recently had a new countertop installed, and the installers slid out the stove, put in the countertop, then slid the stove back in. The garbage disposal and new faucet FINALLY got hooked up . . . and my first meal was pretty cold . . . one of the burners STARTED heating the eggs, but then shut off. Now no burners nor the oven heat up. The clock is still on, the Oven looks like it will heat up, but never gets past the initial 100 degree display. The coils do not get hot. GE said schedule a service call, I am thinking something got pulled loose and I can fix it myself. What is your recommendation - can it be as easy as reconnecting a wire?

Yes, It could be that simple, When they re installed the stove, they may have knocked the power supply line connections loose. Had a loose connection were the power cord/ pig tail attaches to the stove pig tail. Have you checked to make sure both breakers were re set by the installer ? That's where you want to start. Remember, you're working with 240 volts, turn off power before, doing any checks or repairs so you don't get hurt. Good luck ;)

It may be as easy as flipping the breakers off/on slowly a couple times. Sometimes you can loose half the line without actually tripping the breaker and the elements require the full 240 volts. |
