RC,

Best we can make out it's the bottom element. We thought at first it was either the thermostat or regulator because after 50 minutes the oven only got up to 300 when the setting was for 400. We tried the broiler element at the top of the oven and it was working normal.

In any event it's 17 years old and a store brand....the top burners work ok and we have a barbecue and now the fancy convection toaster oven/air fryer so we're good to go.

Ya, that sucks when an appliance goes on strike.....

Our gas oven over had the upper(?) igniter fail. So only had heat coming from one source.
I ordered a replacement from repair clinic (I realize your source will likely vary ,you're in Canada ) , a company I've dealt with repeatedly for repair parts...L.o.l..Cheap , no wait ; thrifty character that I am.

What's up with your oven?

[/QUOTE]

Must be your oven is electric? It does seem only half of it is heating. (One of two heat elements not heating.)

With gas , if one fails it is not uncommon to get a "POOF!" when the failing one's (igniter) gas gets ignited by the flame from the second one.

After checking for a clean and tight connection as suggested by Keyshunter....It leans towards the element itself ,or what reads the elements heat ,or lack of heat. If that makes any sense...

Members of Treasure Net...

I consider you my "online family"... I have had some good times here and learned a variety of things here over the years.

I wanted to just take a moment to say that it has been a pleasure to know all of you.

I am saying this due to the uncertain times that are before us and want you all to know this should any member fall victim to this truly scary epidemic.

Please be smart... stay safe... and try your best to be on the upside of this.

I would hate for us to loose any members to this illness.

I will be on as much as possible during this.

Please check in if possible so we all know everyone is alright out there.

Again... Pleasure to know all of you.

keyshunter/RC,

Thanks for the imput, however, this oven's bottom element is encased so can't even get at the contact points to try and check them out or clean them short of dismantling parts of the stove. Given that it's 17 years old odds are it's not worth repairing at this point.

We've got the fancy convection toaster oven/air fryer and barbeque so we're good until this corona bug leaves the building.

[bill from lachine]

Dock of the Bay you have to be old to remember this one.... It's kind of ironic but back in the late 1960's when I was in my late teens one of my best buddies Peter Alexander got me hooked on motown & soul music. He happened to be a black dude and we had some great times and memories together. Getting nostalgic in my old age.....

NP.. I knew it was going to be "short lived" when I started it... fact is I am surprised it made it that far.

 

[Msbeepbeep]

But ARC, the thrill of the hunt is half the fun!

Sounds like a lot of fun. At some point, we'd probably be calling for help from Mr Wizzard. Would be fun though.
