When this intermittent problem appears, our oven will not heat, broil nor clean. However, there is no error code, the display pretends the function is engaged properly, the cooling fan turns on, the door locks (in the case of the self clean mode).
This problem will sometimes disappear by fiddling between modes, or turning off the circuit breaker for over an hour, but there is never a sure way to make it go away. Today, I have tried everything and turning to you for a *permanent* solution.
What is going on? What should be repaired or replaced to fix the problem?
You need to give us the model number. Check that the air flow switch in the electronics compartment is actually picking up.Other wise you may be having a problem with the relay board. Post the number so we may be able to offer more help

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

Looks like the sensor has tripped... on my Bosch oven, I opened the back. Connected to the thermostat is a switch with a little button which pops out to prevent the oven from overheating... push in the button to reset it and it should work
Never use Self-Cleaning!!!It will fry components, melt connectors, and burn wires.If you have violated this rule and an oven no longer works, it is probably not a bad element if neither the bake nor the broil work.It is likely the high heat cut out breaker.
On a Thermador CT 227 double oven, there is a panel on the right side (facing the unit) that is about 3 inches wide and runs from top to bottom held in place by about 6 or 8 screws.Turn off the power, slide the unit out of the kitchen cabinet, remove the sheet metal panel and you will see two high heat cut out breakers.They have a small red button in the center that resets the breaker.Push firmly and you should hear a click.If there is no click, check the unit for continuity.If it is open and the button push does not reset it, the unit may be fried.These breakers trip with high heat and will prevent both elements in an oven from heating.If the breaker is good, you'll have to test the leads to each element and then trace the dead lead to the problem.
I'll presume you have no "fault code" appear in the display, i.e. F30, F31 correct ? Is it both top and lower oven ? What happens when you select a bake cycle, anything ? Does it appear to be on, but no heat ?
Just need some clarification and details and I'll try to help.
The control switch may be bad on it. If there are 2 elements on the top, they both are not bad at the same time.Check to see if the wires have not burned off the control switch first. Check to see if your breakers are O.K. Turn them both(maybe 3) off and then reset.
hi thanks for the question look at the cord that plugs into the wall you could have a bad connection in that outlet remove the plug from the wall and look at the prongs if its a bad connection they will be discolored check that the appliance doc
I found I have this exact problem. Same bake preheat issue: I can bake if I set broil first. However, the oven doesn't work if I press bake first. The control board has already been replaced a couple times over the years. Is this another replacement??
After removing the racks, rack rails and the back plate I removed the 2 screws the hold the bake element. Lifting the front of the bake element up and carefully pulling the element out and gently moving the element so the connector clear the hole I was able to disconnect the wire. After testing for continuity with an ohm meter (non found) I determined the element need to be replaced. $37 and 45 minutes total.
