If the element is completely disfunctional then it will not heat the oven at all, making this a pretty obvious diagnosis. But it the element is only beginning to malfunction it will often work during the heatup cycle but will not engage again when it needs to to keep the oven at the right temperature. This can happen due to a loose connection or an outright malfunction of the element.
You can check for this visually; if you cannont see the element glowing red then it is not working. Check your owner’s manual to learn the correct element for your type of stove.
The second most common cause of oven failure is a faulty or broken thermostat. If the thermostat cannot read a drop in temperature it cannot tell the element when to come on.
There are two common reasons for a thermostat failure. The first is a malfunction of the oven setting switch. You can find this in the control panel. Use a multimeter to test for proper wire connection.
The second reason could be a faulty sensor probe. The sensor probe is a short rod that juts out and measures oven temperature. This can also be tested with a multimeter.
