Kitchen Large Electric Appliances - Maytag oven CRE9600CCM

I have a maytag oven cre9600ccm
that takes an hour to heat up to the set
temperature. I'm assuming it's the heating element or am I wrong.

is there diagnostic i should run?
thanks

Your element may have a break in it in such a way that 120 of the 240 current is getting through. Careful on touching the stove and touching something else like nearby grounded sink or fridge at same time!

First make sure 240 at the stove's recepticle and not just 120 on each leg. Never do math on 240 current by adding 2 120 legs. Always see that meter actually says 240 between 2 legs.

Visually inspect element and ohms test if not obvious.

If that were not it, you'd have to remove back and check wiring for burned and also the oven switch for not letting 240 through it and just letting 120 through it. Easy to trace wires out of switch to elements, if you undersrand how 120 has to feed the bake element wtih separate 120 legs (not from a backfeed!) from both directions.

Disconnect stove power when prodding around inside, and only activate when volt testing. And remember when and when you do not have power on to the stove. Always be thinking.

thanks for the help.

i tested the outlet and from one leg to another it's 120v
and if i test another leg to another leg it's 240v is that correct?

i also found out that the broiler element works fine but not the regular element.
thanks
