How do I fix the problem of right front element heating up when not turned on? The three other elements won't turn on.

I am assuming that the oven works OK. Unplug the unit and check the wiring to the element controls and from them to the terminal strip. If all OK I would disconnect the right front element and see if the other elements now work. If that does nothing disconnect the control/board for that element. Be very careful that the unit is unplugged when working on it and that nothingcan short out when you are testing it. This is a fairly complicated unit and may be best left to a pro. A manual is available for purchase at the following site but is for stand alone units not a slide in unit. The sections on the element controls is the same though. http://appliancejunk.com/forums/index.php File Attachment(s): GLES389.pdf (254kb) downloaded 1 time(s).
