My oven gave out yesterday, so the first thing I did is go to you tube to see if I can find some help. This video was very detailed and shows you exactly what to look for. Now, I just need to trouble shoot my stove and order the parts. Repair Clinic thank you for the video.

[@piyux]

Wow, this is a great oven troubleshooting video, thanks for sharing this valuable information!

[@julietteakers624]

After following the sequence of components test, we reached the replacement of the controller, which we could reach through the back of the cabinet, where the extensive heat damage of the batting, the oven light socket, the plastic housings on the relays, we were done. We have pronounced our Frigidaire Gallery electric range with convection oven and are shopping for another range today. Thank you for the video.

I just solved a problem so easily. The story: Bought new Frigidaire appliances. Stove / Oven Range didn't work at all. Nothing got hot, but the clock and lights worked. I had to call warranty in and scheduled a service tech to come in a few days. ANd thinking the worst, I wanted to see if maybe someone can tell me how serious the problem is and I am going to be out of my oven for another week or so, I found this youtube video. It gave me the idea to double check the power to the brand new oven. And so it was in deed. The plug was not all the way in, just enough though to give the lights and the clock its power, but now enough power to the burner elements. I pushed the plug in all the way and now everything works. It boggles my mind of why the factory or the tech was not able or willing to troubleshoot that with me over the phone. It's so easy. Thanks for your video.

[@loanassistance]

Ha...thanks. That's what was wrong. I pulled the stove out and it looked plugged in but I pushed it and it went in just a little bit more and problem solved...thanks

[@nicknamednickify]

This is really valuable information. Thank you !

This just saved me a huge headache and a lot of anger. Thought my brand new range had already broken. Turns out it just barely popped one breaker. Reset the breaker all good.

Really good information, sadly for me other than the element there’s no way I could be a regular person replacing thermal fuse or thermostat sensor oh my God I touched the oven control but I might blow the whole house up!… Good video though but it only reinforce that I don’t know what to do about my oven not getting hot I might find out what it is but I will be able to repair it myself other than the element

[@boostedbadboyzx12r31]

@@raquelclass9647 there is a reason specialists exist, while you don't want to pay, they are gonna be able to do it and do it right if you don't feel confident. Especially if you think your gonna mess something up worse which is kinda hard to do if it's already not working. It's generally cheaper to have it done right and with a warranty that comes with it. Vs you being a parts replacer, guessing, getting it wrong, and costing more money in the end. Just a lil food for thought.

[@johnclarke6647]

Question. I have a 15 year old Kenmore stove that I have replaced the element in several times. The other day I turned it on to preheat and came back in about 15 minutes and all the lights were off. I reset the breaker and the lights came back on but the bake element would not come back on. I then checked the bake element and it had broken in a hot spot. I replaced it the next day and it would still not come on. The only things left in the circuit are the control board and fusing resistor. I think the control board is ok because I can press the bake button and then the up arrow and when I press the bake button again I can hear the relay activate. The same thing happens in the broil circuit - I can hear the broil relay activate. The top side of the oven works fine. I have all four top elements but no bake or broil. I think the fusing resistor popped. What do you think?

[@FernandoRodriguez-ds5ri]

hi there i have problem in my whirlpool it says in the display 'FGES cancel key error' what the problem

[@sergiov3288]

This information might come in handy- I have a 13 year old GE profile oven . My symptom ? The oven would reach the correct temperature but after 10-20 mins I would have lost about 50 -60 degrees ... I ended up changing the termostat - that was not the problem. Solution - it was the convention element that was burnt !! Somehow the oven uses all three elements to keep the termperature of the oven and not just the upper and lower elements.

[@darkNovaskar]

My oven is about that old. They can last a very long time?

[@yogibearstie]

Wow, same GE Profile with same issue of not maintaining heat and if I open the door, heat escapes, it doesn’t reheat unless I turn off the oven and reset the temperature. I suspect it drops heating during long baking sessions as well. Hateful that it counts up the temp as it preheats, but then lies and only shows the desired temp and not the actual.

[@allison2879]

This just happened to me. My warranty is up too. the clock was working but not the top or oven was getting hot. The plug was loose so now it works now. I have a GE glass top oven, only 3 yrs old

You're welcome! Mice do that. Make sure to clean the path they walked with bleach or a mice urine cleaner because they will come back over and over again. Also good to clean up any feces to not expose yourself to disease they could carry. Wear rubber gloves when your cleaning and keep it well ventilated. They might be using the wire material to build a nest.

[@bigtreesnotbigstumpz]

WIthout watching video, it's probly a fried wire and terminal box. Take off the back cover. See a fried wire going into a melted plastic black box at the bottom? That's it. Unscrew the wires, unscrew the terminal box, get the model number from the drawer in front, go to the appliance parts store, get a new terminal box, go to Home Depot, get a new wire prong connector, screw in the terminal box, cut the fried wire back to where it's not fried (not too far!), put on the new connector, screw it all back together. Turn on your new working stove and buy something with the $200 you just saved.
