Burnt wire at spade connector

Hi 1st of all you cannot solder spade connectors on a heating element they must be crimped on solder melts when it gets hot and the solder will melt and come off of the connections.
I believe once you get proper spade connectors with no insulation on them and you crimp them on tight, I think most of your heat problem will go away on the connectors. It sounds as if the original connectors were not making good contact that would make the Wires get hot and burn a little. you cannot put Is regular electrical tape on those wires on the end, if you do you must use glass tape.

DID U TEST THE NEW ELEMENT B4 TRYING IT? U MIGHT BE SURPRISE. OTHER WISE I WOULD D SAY CHECK THE WIRING AND CONNECTIONS IF ITS NOT WORKING, CHECK FOR VOLTAGE AT THE CONNECTORS?


1.Even a bad relay door switch will hinder your oven from operating.

If your oven has internal fuses, a wiring or component problem could have caused a fuse to blow. A blown fuse is an indication that a component has shorted or failed, and the problem will need to be corrected. Most ovens that use fuses will have an indication of the circuits that are affected by a particular fuse. If an oven fuse has blown, then you should inspect the oven element and the associated wiring to determine the cause before replacing the fuse.

THINGS TO CHECK:

the broil element
is the heating element that is found at the top of the oven and produces a very high heat for broiling. If the broil element isn't working, you should first do a visual inspection for signs that the element has blistered or separated. If the element appears normal then you can check for continuity with a multi-meter. Remove power from the appliance before performing this test. Remove the back panel and locate the terminals for the broil element and inspect the terminals and wires for signs of overheating or damage.

If there is no continuity then the element will need to be replaced. If the wires are damaged then they will need to be repaired. If the element is ok then you will need to check the broil circuit to determine the cause. This involves live voltage checks and should only be performed by qualified persons. Components to check include fuses, if the range is equipped, and oven control thermostat or electronic control. Depending on the manufacturer of the element, you will normally read between 19 ohms and 115 ohms


The bake element
is the heating element that is found at the bottom of the oven. Most electric ovens use both the bake element and the broil element in a bake cycle, with the bake element performing 90% of the heating. If the bake element isn't working, the oven may not heat. To help determine if the bake element is defective you should first do a visual check. If the element is blistered or separated then it should be replaced. If the element appears to look normal, then turn the oven on to a bake function for a minute and then turn it off.

Check the element for signs of heating and if it is still cold then it may be defective. Disconnect the power and then remove the back panel. First check the wires as they may have become loose or corroded. If the element appears to be fine visually, test it for continuity with a multi-meter. ( by placing the each of the meter prongs on each end of the heater element connectors) If the element is burned or no longer has continuity, it will need to be replaced. Depending on the manufacturer of the element, you will normally read between 19 ohms and 115 ohms

there is usually two screws and one center bolt secures an element
and it will have two spade connectors to remove also
sometimes you need to remove the back
but more and more its done from inside the oven

the bake element has failed. they can be had for around 20 dollars. Unplug unit before
replacing the element. Usually will only need 1/4 inch nut driver to remove two
screws inside oven and slide out element and unplug the spade connectors.
The model and serial should be located behind the lower drawer on the left side.
An appliance parts store should carry this in stock since many models utilize the
same element. Hope this helps.

Yes, replace the lower element by first turning off the circuit breaker to the oven (110V is still to half of the 220V element circuit even though the oven setting is turned off), then unscrew the two screws holding the element to the back wall of the oven, then pull the element out (may have to tug it a bit to get the connectors through the insulation), and pull the wire connector clips off the element.

make sure the oven is switched off.remove all trays etc from oven,remove 2 posidrive screws from bottom of fan plate,remove fan plate,the element is around the fan,remove 2 posi screws from where the element goes through the side of oven and the one screw that holds the top of the element to the back of the oven.slowly pull the element out and remove the 2 poz and neg spade connectors.refit as removed.

4 elements, 2 top , 1 back, 1 bottom. remove covers in oven to see rear and bottom if they heat.
possibly selector switch fault.
mine looks wired wrong from factory, cant for life of me see how it can heat as display indicates ???????????????????

Yup Thermofuse stops the elements from heating after the self-cleaning cycle. You have to take out the oven, TURN OFF THE POWER at your circuit breaker, remove all the screws on the oven back panel, you'll see the thermofuse near the center (there are two 1/4" spade connectors (one leads from one leg of the power junction box). Two screws to remove it.

check the breaker box first, turn breaker off then on. then try oven again

check the timer, sometimes the timer gets set to delay and oven won't work

second, with oven off trace entire element with finger to see if there are any burnt spots.

if no burnt spots found, there may be a burnt wire leading to element in the wall behind

please, don't forget to rate my solution.

thanks

EUREKA! I found the reset button and my oven is heating as we speak. Ok, open the oven door. there is a thin panel with vents right at the door latch. Unscrew the (6) screws and pull off the panel. There is a red button on the left back behind the wiring. GOOD LUCK!
