Be sure you have 230 volts across the red and black wires at the terminal block the power cord attaches to. I suspect you have only one line to the range.
It is simpler to check a portion of the range first. Go to the relay board for the bake and broil elements. Check for incoming voltage between the red and black wires. You should have 230 volts all the time.
Set the oven control to bake at 350 degrees and check between the yellow and black wires that go to the bake element. You should have 230 volts. If you have 0 volts, check between the yellow wire that goes to the bake element and the black wire that goes to the terminal block of the range. If you have 230 volts here, the DLB relay on the relay board is bad. This will prevent bake and broil from working.
We can go through the relay board for the cooktop. I think it is best to eliminate one problem at a time.
I understand you are replacing your bake element and are uncertain of wire placement, correct ? My first suggestion would be to locate the tech sheet/wiring diagram, or tracing the yellow wire. I suspect the 2 black are "hot" and the yellow (maybe with a green tracer on it?) is ground/earth...though I don't have a diagram either. Let me know what you find and I'll try to help you going forward. Good luck and thanks for choosing FixYa today.
hi!!! All you have to do is go and buy a new heating bake element..turn off the power to the oven by the home breaker..then move the oven away from the wall and remove the back panel screws and look for the baking element it has 2 wires going into it.Very easy to fix..good luck..
if you test Bake (Yellow Wire) to L2 (Red Wire if your oven has it) and you read 240 volts while the oven is on and baking you need a new element. If you take the bake wire off and test the tab coming off the board to ground if you read 0v while the bake is on then you need a new control board
dmiller58 If all your connections are solid then your controller is defective. Did you get any faults before changing the element? Does the broil (one at the top of the oven) work?
There should only be two wires that go to the element. It won't matter which wire goes on which terminal. Turn power off to unit before replacing the element. In some cases when the element burns out and breaks in have it will send a surge back to the oven control board and it will need to be replaced also. You will know once the element is replaced if it doesn't heat up.
