Woke up this morning and figured I would cook some biscuits for breakfest, Guess what the oven wont heat up!
All the eyse still work, the Broiler still works the control panel isnt doing anything weird its all working fine.
Im pretty good at this kind of stuff as im an Autotech by trade and love Trouble shooting any type of problem!! Ive done some testing and here are my resluts, If anyone can see anything wrong please help!!
At the Element Im only getting about 40 volts from wire to wire, Thats with the element still connected, Would it matter if it was unpluged? I think I need atleast 220 there is this right??
The element is showing no burn marks and is ohming form end to end around 19 ohms. I can go from one terminal on the element and run my lead all across the element and get nothing from both sides, so its not like the element has shorted out inside.
It was working great lastnight for about 2 hours becasue the ole lady cooked about 4 dozen cookies. Anyone have any other ideas on some test I can do? I know I need to get to the control unit and figure where my power loss is coming from and not going to the oven but do these have any kind of sensor that would keep the oven from turning on?
Thanks
Jason

Just pulled the whole back off. Im getting 230 volts out of the wall and down to the hook up on the oven so its not a breaker issue. I tried the same test at the broiler element with the ohms and its very close to the bake element so im takeing that the element is ok. Did the same test with Broiler on at the two sides of the elemnt im getting 224 volts, on the bake side now after plunking it with the handle of the screwdriver a few times, its getting nothing at all out of the control unit or at the element and im geting 230 volts coming into the control unit, just nothing coming out of the L1 out and BAKE side down to the element.
Must be the control unit!!

Sounds to me that you have done a thorough job of troubleshooting and the control board is toast |
