Try turning the power off to the oven at the meter box and leaving it off for an hour or so. This will allow it to fully reset. When you power up again, reset the clock time and set to manual cooking , hopefully , all will work again.
Sounds to me like the lower element shorted and tripped the breaker as it burned out. If you're handy at electrical troubleshooting that's where I'd start - comparing ohmmeter readings between the bad element and the one that works.
A wire short to the chassis would have a similar set of symptoms and be easier to find and fix.
On the main oven, does the circulating fan at the back of the oven start to rotate when you switch it on and does the fan oven neon illuminate as well.
For the top oven, the heating element is not very big so the oven takes a long time to warm up. Does the top oven neon illuminate when you switch this on as well?
Hi, welcome to FixYa! my name is Shaun. I hope i can help you out with your question. Your main house breaker is tripping over 180C because of the amount of current your oven is drawing. Keep in mind that an oven is capable of pulling up to 1/4 the amount of amperage of your total house current capacity, up to 50 Amps. This is assuming you have a typical 200 Amp main breaker. Add this in with your heating/air-conditioning, up to 30A, if electric, your water heater, 25 A if electric, and whatever lights and appliances you have plugged in and turned on, you can imagine how quickly those amps add up when your oven is on. Your oven breaker won't trip because you're not exceeding 50A on that circuit, however if your total household load is exceeding 200A, your main will trip. Also, breakers lose efficiency over time. Sometimes they can drop current capacity by as much as 25%. So your best bet is to replace your house main and see if that fixes your problem. Hope this helps out. Have a good day!
When you turn the bottom oven on, does the fan start to run in the oven? Do the oven lights come on? Does the main cooling fan switch on? Does the oven control knob illuminate? Does the thermostat neon illuminate?
As a guide, the power/control for the bottom oven is via the main switch on the front panel. Power then goes from the switch through the thermostat to the the oven/element/fan. The lights go direct from the switch.
I hope this helps.
Assuming you live in the u/k, and it is an electric fan assisted oven, and that it is the fan oven you are referring to, then the element is usually to be found at the rear of the oven compartment, behind a removeable cover.
Hope this helps.
Yes. You can do it. Part should be $40 or less. Turn off the power to the oven. Remove the oven racks.Unscrew the element screws from the back wall of the oven. Carefully pull the element out. The wires may be short. Remove the wires from the element. Do not let the wires pull back into the oven cavity. Take the element to the appliance parts store and have them match it to the existing element. Attach the wires to the new element,insert the terminals into the opening,replace the mounting screws. Turn on the oven and bake away. P.S. Your model number is not correct.
hiya
sounds like the fan element could have blown, causing the electrics to trip out. best thing to do is remove all the racking
and then the rear panel that covers the fan and element. if he element has blown most of the time it will be visible.
hope this helps
please dont forget to rate the helpfulness of this reply thanks kj
