top burners work
broiler works
heat warmer drawer works
when I set to pre heat the broiler which is on the inside top of oven lights up
there is no glow what so ever to be seen on the bottom heating element
when I set to bake at 350 or whatever temp, after a few seconds it clicks and goes back to 100 and does not heat up at all, does not show an error code.

could this be a heating element problem or clock timer issue. I was going to order the element seeing as it is not to expensive and go from there but I wanted to ask the experts first, thanks ccjden@hotmail.com

CC,

Based on the description & diagnosis

You're correct, start be replacing the glow bar igniter,

I'm sure you'll be fine from there.


Part number: AP2150412

Good Luck,

Thanks for the quick reply-ordered part as recommended.

CC,

Great,

Remember, to let us know how things went, and be careful with that new igniter, they're really fragile.


Good Luck,

Well, thanks a lot Joe for the great advice and link to part, installed it without to much difficulty and the oven now heats up to the desired temperature just fine, C.J.D.

p.s.- inspecting the old igniter did not reveal any cracks or breaks, not sure what went wrong with it..

CCjden,

You did a great job, we're glad your up and going.

You won't always find a damaged spot in the visible portion of the igniter,
They do get weak, just from age, wear and tear(usage) or the circuit fails inside the white porcelain portion of the assembly.

You're quite welcome for the assist, you did the work.

We're happy to be off help.

Good Luck,
