My electric range is a little over a yr. old and the bake, broil and self cleaning function do not work. The stove top works fine the digital display says the oven is preheating and beeps saying it is up to temp. but there is not heat. The elements were not the problem what else could it be? Anyone have any ideas? Please help!!
I'm afraid you may have a blown Electronic Oven Control (EOC) board. The EOC controls all the functions of the oven. The surface elements are controlled by individual infinite switches behind each control knob.. That's why the surface elements all work, but the oven does not. A replacement EOC can be purchased on line at searspartsdirect.com. Just type in your COMPLETE model number and you will find it under the "Control Panel Parts" heading as item number 12. There are several listed, based upon the color you need (White, Biscuit, and Black). This is a very simple repair that any do-it-yourselfer can accomplish if you wish to perform this on your own. All you have to do is UNPLUG the appliance and remove the back panel of the console to access.
Before assuming the EOC is defective, however, inspect the board to see if it has a fuse on it. I do not have a wiring diagram to confirm. Some of these boards do have fuses and that's all that it may take to repair it. However, if the board shows signs of burned components, replace it. NOTE: Check for any loose connectors to the board as well.
I hope you find this information helpful. Let me know if you have questions and/or require additional assistance.

The elements never attempt to come on.
Burners work; oven control panel works, but the elements in the oven do not heat up on bake or broil.
My model is: RF261PXST
Do the elements actually come on? Or do they stay off and never attempt to heat?
