My oven quit working?

Question

This question was asked a few months ago and someone responded ..."The first thing i would do is see if it will work on broil this could narrow down the possible problems"....yes my broiler works, stovetop works, and all electrical(clockandtimer) work...Why isn't my oven working it is a kenmore. please help

Answer 1

Buy a new bottom Heating element

Answer 2

i understand your problem under the bottom of your stove there is a safety device that use electrical power to cause your oven to light up. what that device do is send power to a heating element to heat the safety switch to open the gas valve so that your oven comes on for you to use. change this part see e-mail ttp://www.appliancepartspros.com/Applian...

Answer 3

Sounds like the switch went bad. If you have an elect. tester test the switch

Answer 4

could be that the element went bad or the switch could be bad...most single k**b thermostats that control both bake and broil can have the bake part of the switch go bad even if the broil part keeps working...it could even be possible that one of the wires burnt off where they connect to the heating element.

Answer 5

If electrick replace lower element... purchase frome sears or marcone(cheaper)

if gas replace igniter coil

Answer 6

If the Broiler (upper element) works but it wont Bake then I say your lower element is burned out.

Contact Kenmore and have them send you a new element.
