| what i checked till now
1) put the stove on bake
one side of the meter on on one side of the element and the other side grund on any panel on the unit got 122 v ac
2)put both sides of meter on both sides of element and got nothing
3)did the same with the broil element and were the same
#2 is a problem. If you test to both wires coming to the element, you should get 240 volts.
my question now
1)could it be the new heater defective ?
2)can i switch them together and try putting it on broil or the opposit put the broil element on the bake wire and check if will work
is this gonna damage my broil element ?
3)could be the thermosesnor defective
while it can read the right temperature and show it on the panel ?
4) if none of the above and it is the relay board
how can i figure it out and is it fixable or replacing it is the only way
thanks guys
#2 is a good idea. Unplug the broil element and put the bake element in its' place and turn the oven on to see if the bake element heats up. Make sure all exposed wires & connectors don't touch anything when the power is on. My guess is the bake element will work and you'll find that when the element melted it fried the control board relay. APP wants about $127 for a new one, Repair Clinic $175, Sears $194. Let us know what you find. Thanks.  |
