Bottom oven will not heat up no matter what I tell it to do. Everything from the control panel acts normal like the oven is working, but it never gets warm. I don't get any error codes either. Model - GBD307PDS09 Serial No. - XR1405296

    I was successfully able to disconect both the bottom and top elements in the "bottom" oven and both elements DO test GOOD for continuity on my DMM. How do I test the oven switch that you mention?


    Thanks Matt

    Hello - I tried the first experts suggestion for testing continuity of the two elements in the lower oven and both checked good. He mentioned checking the "oven switch", but gave no details on how to go about this. Also, I have a technicians guide for troubleshooting, but I don't know how to access the electronic control board i.e., how to take the face off??

    Thanks Matt

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. However, I believe it is the sensor as the problem is only with bottom oven. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

The problem is with your element. Most of these can be bought at local hardware stores or appliance part stores.

The easiest way to tell if it is the element is to check the element itself you will need a few tools to do this one of which is a multi meter with continuity.


Testing Element:


  1. Shut off power to the unit this can be accomplished by flipping the breaker or unplugging the unit from the wall.
  2. Remove the rear panel of the Range (on freestanding ranges), on wall ovens you may be able to remove the screws that hold the burner in place at the back and pull the element and wires forward (Be careful not to let the wires go back in side the wall as you will have to pull the oven out to reconnect the element)
  3. Remove the wires that are attached to the terminals on the element
  4. Use your continuity tester and place one lead on each terminal if no continuity the element must be replaced. (If tests good need to test oven switch)
  5. To replace the element do all of the above and remove the oven racks, unscrew the bracket that holds the element in place at the back inside of the oven, pull the element out and replace with the new one

I have a double gas oven, 3 years old. Top oven is not heating, it will broil but not bake. Stove top is working great and bottom oven fine.

This is a tough question because we haven't mention the make and model number you should add that so we can help you better but normally if the top oven is not working properly it may have thermostat problem or it could also be control panel problem can you tell more information especially the make and model


Sometimes you can take it out and it's not working properly and take that oven and put it in self-clean mode and it might fix problems

What would cause the broiler element to override the baking element? My oven has lost its mind. It doesn't matter what setting I use, The broil element takes over and burns everything. Please help.

Not 100% sure but my guess. Most electric ovens usually bake with both elements on. The bake element(bottom) is usually on at full power with 240 volts to it. The broil element(top) is usually on at 1/2 power 120 volts to help even out the temperature. My guess is your bottom element is not coming on at all either because it is burned out or something in the control system. So what is happening is the oven is trying to heat to the set temp with only the top element keeping it on much longer than it normally should be on and burning everything. Now if you set the oven for bake and the top is on red hot, you have a control system problem something like a bad selector switch or main control board if the oven has a electronic control.

Dacor bottom oven not heating

I have a DACOR double electric oven model ECD230SCH. the top oven lower element went out 1 and 1/2 years ago, but the top element broiler works. Yesterday the bottom oven did the same thing- bottom element not working along with convection. Pulled off doors and cut breaker. Checked thermal switch on top off oven- closed good. Pull out element and Ohm'ed out- good. Now pulled over and out oven top panel to get to the control boards. Found a nice set of schematics for the over control boards and electronics. Sat down and pin-pointed both relays that supply power to upper and lower oven "lower" heating elements. these are on 2 different boards- upper over relays on bigger board on the left with the transformer. Lower oven on the right smaller board. Hardest pain in the rear was just getting the little plastic stand offs to push back through the board to get it off. Finally got it off and inspected board. Low and behold the relay I pin-pointed had a burn/open connection on the solder joint. Re-soldered tested oven and lower oven lower heat element works now! Went to the next board and got that off and same exact problem on the rely for the top oven lower element. Re-solder and test- good!! Put everything together and ran over to 350 on top and lower and back to normal. Wife very happy she did not have to pay a repair man big bucks to swap out the control boards- would have had to replace both.

I have a degree in electronic technology so as a technician for many years did low and high voltage component level repairs. But pretty easy and you can visually see the open solder joint on the back of the board at the relay leg.

Error E7 : F1 GMC275PDs07. Microwave works normally but will not heat. Magnetron changed out and still will not heat.

If your microwave is a 220 then reset the breaker by turning it off for 10 seconds and then back on. Then check it. Since you replaced the magnetron, the signal to the mag is interrupted. Did you replace the control panel? If so, then look to see if it is wired back in order. Does the fan operate when you open and close door? If not, then check door switch.
