When we bought our new house (new to us but, older home) we received all maytag appliances that were only two years old. Well when the power went out the first time the ice maker in the fridge had to be replaced because it stopped working. Now yesterday the power went out and the oven is now having issues! Everything on the oven is working i.e (stove top, broil, delay, cook and hold, keep warm, clock, adjusting temp etc.). But, when you turn the oven say to 450 degrees or any temp and hit bake the oven clicks as it always has and the current temp of the oven shows 100 degrees. After about 45 minutes to one hour it will only be at 235 degrees. The broiler works great but, the oven will not heat up properly! Please help!:eek:

The easiest and safest way to check it is with a meter.
Checking it for resistance with the unit unplugged

If you do not have one, I would suggest you purchase a meter. You can get a decent digital multimeter for under $20.00. You do not need fancy though it is nice if the leads are a couple feet long.
If it saves ordering one unnecessary part it has paid for itself and you end up owning a useful tool.
Most places will not let you return electrical parts so if you order it, you own it.
A couple things to watch when measuring ohms and continuity
1. Always remove power from the machine otherwise you could blow your meter.
2. Always disconnect at least one side of any device you are checking. This eliminates the possibility of measuring an alternate/parallel circuit path.
3. When checking for closed contacts and continuity use the lowest scale (Usually 200 ohms). Then try higher scales. This scale is 0 to 200 ohms so if the device you are measuring is 300 ohms this scale would show an open circuit which it is not, you are just measuring outside the scale's dynamic range.

There is a good STICKY at the start of this forum about it's use.
