Should the lower oven heating element heat all the way around? The heating element in my oven only heats and glows red on the front and two sides, The rear part of the element never glows red.

This is probably normal. the element has a fine wire inside the tube that you see and depending on where it starts in the tube it will start glowing from there.

Ovens not heating up and burners won't turn on.

Hello & Welcome to FixYa

This indicates a open/shorted oven temperature sensor and to solve this problem the sensor needs replacement. If you wan to be sure before replacing the sensor then you can test it with a voltmeter for around 1100ohms....if it reads more then this then it needs replacement however, if the reading is around or less then 1100ohms then it is the control board that needs replacement. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

No model number anywhere on the range

Reach behind the upper-left corner of the control panel. There should be a 1"x8" aluminum flag that can swing up. The model, etc. is on there.

MER687BAS WONT HEAT BOTTOM OVEN ONLY BROILS IS IT

Steps to check element. TURN off breaker that feeds oven. Unistall bottom element in question. With a continuity tester see if element has continuity. If it does not then element is bad, replace it and turn on breaker. If it does you need to call a technician because the next step requires voltage testings that can shock you if done improperly..

I have a maytag range

Hi there,

Well error F3 means open or shorted sensor. The cancel key resets the control and stops the alarm. If fault is still present it will reactivate the alarm when the cook mode is chosen. The error F3-1 indicates problem with Sensor of upper oven
Solution - Check sensor and wiring for shorted or open circuit. you need a multimeter to check them. Please post comments for further help or information........

Good Luck!!

Thanks

Hi Folks, I

Hi.

Before replacing the element you should have tested it using a multimeter.

Set the multimeter on Ohms, if it returns circuit open (infinity), then the element was bad.

Now I cannot see the details of your original problem, but if the oven is not baking and broiling, and there is no heath or heat is poor, then you need to check the temperature problem as first suspect. This will affect behaviour of both elements.

The temp probe is located inside the oven cavity. Testing is done disconnecting the probe and reading impedance with a multimeter. The probe must have no or low impedance at room temperature. Impedance will go up with temperature and return infinity at limit temperature.

If the temp probe is OK, then problem is either wiring harness or electronic control. This parts are tested reading volts, but for safety reasons test on hot wires must be done by a trained technician. It is better if home user only works with power disconnected.

You can still test the wiring harness reading continuity, if circuit is close, then wire is good.

The electronic control is difficult to test, because it must be checked at component level. You just replace ERC after testing all the rest.
Use the diagram below, temp. probe is part 7 on diagram, click on the picture to enlarge:
