Jenn air downdraft oven won't heat over 100 degrees. F 5 code once. Hole was burnt in the element and has been replaced. Downdraft board has a brown,discolored spot on it. Has voltage from board to element. Cooktop and downdraft blower work correctly.Oven door also has not been unlocking and have to turn the breaker off to unlock it.

Can you describe it more detailed please? Does it get red?


Does the problem with the door still exist?

Does it show any error codes?

The broil element works right and the door has been fine since that happened. Not showing any codes but the bake element still won't get hot. 100 degrees is all it will do. The broil element gets red hot and cycles correctly with the thermostat.

So, when you said "...Has voltage from board to element...", you meant the broil element only?

You did not say anything about the door.

The bake element has voltage going to it from the board. The broil element works fine and the door is now fine we think. The oven doesn't work so we really don't open the door for anything. Cooktop works fine also. This has been down for two years and I'd really like to fix it for her since her ex was too lazy to do it

Can you describe more detailed how did you check it and was the voltage please?

Are you serious? Multi-meter,125v each leg. Am I wasting my time here?

More likely I am, if you can not answer a simple question.

If there is 125 VAC each leg to the heating element and the heating element is brand new then it must work. Unless you did something wrong while doing the voltage test. That's why I asked you to describe step by step how did you do it.

Hi.

Do you have 240VAC at the bake element contacts?

If you do - replace the bake element.

Look gene. Kinda hard to go into more detail without sending you a video of me checking it. I have been in industrial maintance for the past 5 yrs and currently work servicing and repairing hvac units so I know my way around a multi meter however none of this has anything to do with an oven. My bet is my question ain't in your book in front of ya so you don't have a clue. I'll figure it out myself. Just though it might be quicker getting advice from someone who I thought may work on ovens. No biggy..I'll do it without your smartass help.
