Why Electric Oven Not Working But Stove Top Is?

Electric oven not working but stove top is? These might be some of the primary reasons and fixes for the problems.

Check the Oven First: Some Knobs/Switches Might be in the Wrong Position

Before you go opening the oven up, changing or replacing parts, or spending a couple of hundred dollars calling a repair technician, do a quick check of the oven.

Especially with self-cleaning ovens, it might be a lot simpler than you think.

1. Check if broil element will heat up (set the oven for broil and wait 5 min. If broil will heat up, then most likely bake element burnt out)
2. Make sure all controls are set correctly broil/bake settings
3. Make sure the door is in the unlocked position if it’s a self-cleaning oven
4. If your oven has knobs and they were removed before cleaning the oven, make sure to reattach them; make sure all knobs are in the proper location
5. Check the bake element for continuity (turn the power off first); a manual check might indicate if there are any cracks/breaks which suggests it needs to be replaced
6. The main control board is out (this is obvious if nothing turns on/the oven doesn’t power on at all) in this case it has to be replaced
