I have a three year old Jenn Air electric oven which wont heat. The stove works fine but the oven will not reach the desired temperature. When I set it to a certain temperature I just hear a bunch of clicks but the temperature remains at 100 degrees. Is this a quick and inexpensive fix or am going to have to buy a new oven? Any advice help would be great. Thanks. Lucas

Check that both the bake and broil elements work.

In reference to my last post. The broil does seem to work. The bake does not. The model number is # JER8785QAN. Thanks and hope somebody can help.

I would check the element first, should be aroun 20 ohms.
See the manual on how to remove it.
Note: I always attach something to the wires before undoing the element so they do not disappear back into the unit, clothes pins work.

Denman,

Thank you for your quick reply and information for parts. Based on what I told you what do you think is the problem? And for someone with no experience working on ovens, would I be able to fix it? Thanks again.
