Most unit use both elements during a preheat cycle. Usually they switch back and forth between the two. This provides a more consistent temperature profile in the oven.

Usually they switch back and forth between the two. This provides a more consistent temperature profile in the oven. The broil element does not work either. I press the bake button, and set the temperature. The digital display then shows on, and the temperature stays at 100 degrees. I check the elements which do not get even warm. Maybe after 30 to 60 minutes the bake element finally heats up. As of last nite and tonite, we have given up waiting over an hour with no heat.

Your problem is a real puzzler because it does eventually heat up. I would check the thermal hi-limit switch/thermostat for the elements. It should be 0 ohms. If it has any resistance I would replace it. Check to any loose or overheated connections in the element circuitry. If all this checks out OK then the only thing I can think of is that the control board is doing something crazy. File Attachment(s): ARDS801.pdf (1,977kb) downloaded 5 time(s).
