Whirlpool oven RBS245prs....did a self clean.....after completed cleaning the broiler or bake element will not heat up......oven display temp and pre-heat time but neither element will work

have controller checked

Turn the breaker off for 5 minutes then turn it back on see if this helps if not let me know.

Since neither the broiler or bake elements are working I would suspect either the sensor - sensing a higher temperature than set meaning the sensor is defective (Item #29 on the diagram) - http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-model/Whirlpool-Parts/Wall-oven-Parts/Model-YRBS305PDB5/1198/0125300/W0703198/00001?blt=06&prst=&shdMod=

You might try the self clean function and see if the elements get hot. If they do then it is most likely the sensor.

Hopefully, that will fix your problem, but if not then it could be in the microcomputer which is a problem because it is a part that is hard to find.

check the bake (lower) element, mine just went out. It was easy to spot the problem once I pulled the element out, the wire had burnt off the end. Please remember to turn the power off first.

I have good news for you! You have a bake element that has gone out and it's a very simple repair. It will save you a ton of money if you replace this yourself.

Usually, when an oven won't heat, it's because the bake element is burned out. The bake element is the black, pencil- thick tube at the bottom of the oven. When the oven heats, the element glows red. This element has an expected life-span of several years. It may last for only one; it may last for many more. When the element burns out, you need to replace it.

I was wrong (I think).  the baking element probably was burnt out as the repairman said.  He replaced it and I thought selfclean still wasn't working.  In fact, I think I just had to give the self-clean function more time.  Also, I was judging by smell.  We have become used to a bad odor during self clean which was missing when it was broken and still missing after the repair.  Bottom line, the oven was clean after the baking element was replaced, sans smell.

Usually, when an oven won't bake, it's because the bake element is burned out. The bake element is the black, pencil- thick tube at the bottom of the oven. When the oven heats, the element glows red.

Wekiwa, your TCO, (thermal cutout) probably opened during the high temps in self clean. You will have to remove the back panel and replace it. It should be just under the vent back there. Part number 4450934. You can ohm it out first to make sure, it will show open (no continuity) if bad. This is an easy job, won't take you that long. Kill power to the range before going back there. In doing a little more research on your model, I see there was a service flash where they recomend moving the TCO over to one side so the cleaning cycle doesn't affect the TCO. This may be covered by Whirlpool. You might want to call them and inquire. Catriver..post back.
