my stovetop is working but my oven and broiler does not.
Cause 1 Incoming Power Problem Electric ovens require 240 volts of alternating current. Gas ovens require 120 volts. If an oven won’t turn on there could be an incoming power problem. To determine if the electrical outlet is providing sufficient voltage, use a multimeter to test the incoming power at the wall socket. Cause 2 Thermal Fuse If the oven gets too hot, the thermal fuse trips to shut off power to the oven. If the thermal fuse has blown, the oven will not heat. However, this is not a common occurrence. To determine if the thermal fuse is at fault, use a multimeter to test the fuse for continuity. If the thermal fuse does not have continuity, replace it. The thermal fuse cannot be reset—if the fuse has blown, it must be replaced. Cause 3 Loose or Burnt Wire Connection One of the wires that supply power to the oven element or igniter might be burnt out. These wires commonly burn out near the heat source. To determine if a wire has burned out, inspect the wires leading to the element or igniter. If a wire is burned out, it will often be visibly burnt. Cause 4 Relay Board Some ovens are equipped with a relay board. The relay board has several relays which control the electrical current to the heating element. If one or more of the relays on the relay board has failed, the oven won’t heat. If the relay board is defective, replace it. Cause 5 Oven Control Board The oven control board has relays that send voltage to the bake and broil circuits according to the user settings and sensor input. If the control board is defective, it may not send voltage to the heating components. However, this is rarely the case. Before replacing the control board, first test all of the heating components. If you determine that all of the heating components are working properly, replace the oven control board. Since it’s not easy to test the oven control board, you will have to replace the control board if you suspect it is defective.
Hi @James Jarvis What is the model number of the oven? If the temp in the oven doesn’t go higher than 100 F and all the elements are OK then it appears to be a problem with the oven temperature sensor.
My exwife has a kenmore stove as well. Model is c970-648191. Glass top works. Broil or bake doesnt work. I have 120 volt×2 incoming. Both L1 and L2 circuit is outputting 120 volts to element. Element gets voltage. Elements has been checked for resistance and and both have resistance of 19 to 20 ohms. But neither Element gets hot. I have checked thermo and get proper ohms of around 1100 when cold. Door switch was also checked. Pulling my hair out now on what to do.
My oven is not working but stove top is working but I have no clock or oven lites on at control board and it looks like maybe a wire on the circuit that plugs in is burnt and a burn mark on the control board is their from that wire
