I cleaned my oven and now the elements will not

probably a defrost terminator or defrost timer issue, check with multi meter, u may also have a bad heater element

I purchase parts from an appliance parts supply. You could also purchase elements let's say from a Home Depot. You can buy used parts from area used appliance stores. Nowadays you can purchase almost anything on-line.

Hi,

It gets tricky from there...

I would check for power at the element....if there is power and the element is not getting hot then you have a bad element.... 220 volts across the two wires to the element or more is considered proper power...

If there is no power there.... then you need to flow the wires back till you get power and that is where your problem is....

This is the best way to troubleshoot your oven...but a good quality electrical meter is needed.... and you need to be very careful when working with electric as it can kill you!!!

You should have a function switch that says " self clean ". Normally, all you have to do is turn the control on to "self clean" and let the oven do the rest. It will take about 3 hours or so to complete the cycle.

Hi there.
You have faulty oven element. and nothing more serious than that.
Simply disconnect and remove the faulty element, and fit a new one.
Problem solved!!!.
Plz rate my solution.Thanks.

It is quite common for oven elements to fail.
Disconnect, and fit new one
Plz rate this solution.
thanks.

i have had this problem twice. once was the heating element actually had shorted out because the little ceramic holders had broken, this necessitated getting new element. can be checked out with an ohmmeter by yourself or by taking element into appliance repair place. the other time, it was that the manual reset switch had tripped after a self-clean cycle. actually at the moment, that has happened again- design flaw perhaps in the RSD30 range?
so anyone who can tell a reasonable competent refrigeration/HVAC technician where the manual reset switch is would be appreciated.
