Default Heating Elements work, but not at proper temps
Model Number: AR6002W   Brand: Amana   Age: 5 - 10 years   

Several months ago, I noticed that it took way too long to cook a pizza, even though the oven said it was heated to the temperature I set. As time has gone on, the gap has widened between set temperature and actual temperature. I figured it was the element and figured I'd get one when I got around to it. My broiler, however, was working just fine -- until the other day. That, too, is not working correctly. It heats, but doesn't get red and won't cook a steak before you die of starvation. Both elements provide heat, but not like they're supposed to. Doesn't seem likely that both elements are "going", but what do I know. Any help would be great.

Gene has much to be proud of
Default

The first thing I would check is the circuit breakers for the oven.
They both must be on.
