my oven will not get hot. i just replaced the
bake element part no. 74010883. i was wondering
what else could be wrong?.. when i turn the oven on
i get no error codes or anything it just starts off at
100 degrees for the preheat but the temp never goes up
and the lower bake element never gets hot .(even the new one)
any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Paul

also i have made sure that it is not on bake delay

i am wondering if it is the oven sensor.... when i went to check continuity it read nothing
and when i checked OHMs it also read nothing.

Here are your parts

Here is the tech sheet

And a manual

Here is a good site with info on the sensor etc.

Did you check the element before replacing it or did you just replace it as the most likely cause?
You did not say if the stove top elements are working OK.
If not you probably have a power problem.

Does the broil element work?

By nothing do you mean 0 ohms or infinite ohms?
Also what meter scale were you using? You should use 2,000 ohms or higher to check it.

The unit does have a hi-limit thermostat perhaps this is toast.
Unplug the unit and one side of the hi-limit thermostat and check it.
Should be 0 ohms.

the bake element was reading 7 OHMS so that is why i replaced that

and the temp sensor was reading 0 OHMS thats why i think that it is this

the high limit is reading 0 OHMS but i believe that this is supposed to be at 0 and i was using the 2,000 scale

thanks for the help
i will let you know how it goes

On the below readings did you remove the wires from at least one side of the device you were measuring. This ensures that you do not read an alternate/parallel circuit path

the bake element was reading 7 OHMS so that is why i replaced that
This is weird as it is low but I have never seen an element drop this low.
It is basically just a ni-chrome wire in ceramic so it is very hard for it to short out partially.

and the temp sensor was reading 0 OHMS thats why i think that it is this
Yes, this does look bad

the high limit is reading 0 OHMS but i believe that this is supposed to be at 0 and i was using the 2,000 scale
When checking for 0 ohms it is alwauys a good idea to use your most sensitive scale.

yes i removed one wire or the entire unit when testing...

i do not know much about electric ranges but i thought that it was
odd for the bake element to read 7 from all the info i have read online.
that is why i replaced this first.. i know its uncommon but it could happen
,which i believe happened here, is that the bake element and the temp sensor
both went at the same time. i am waiting for the temp sensor to come in today.. unfortunately where i live , no stores ever have anything instock and need to order the items.

Thanks for all the help

Did the new temp sensor fix your oven? Just curious since I am having the same dilema.

I too am having same problem and wanted to know if it helped.
