So i tested my broiler element and its at 16-17 so all is good so what do you think my issue is? The element stays completly cold when turned on not sure if that helps
@@mikehickey420 We have seen some people cut out the burned section of the wire and splice in an equivalent size gauge wire with the same heat rating, or you would have to replace the entire wiring harness for that part of the range/oven if the part is available.
I have heard 30 - 100 ohmes is the recommended number ... Yet you said 10 is the lowest in the range ... I am getting a 16.6 and the bottom one works and I have checked everything ... Everything else. Wondering is 16.6 is the problem or not as getting two different low numbers for range of it
I just spent over 35 minutes trying to broil fish. FISH. Fish ought to take 5 min max under an oven broiler. Hell my little toaster oven does a better job, its broiler works! I will be checking the broiler element tomorrow after I borrow a friend's watsitmeter. Thanks for the tut!
I have a kenwood bm450 that does not heat up, I changed the heating element, the replacement part gives no continuity beep (but the multimeter doesn't beep if resistance >50 Ohms), by measuring the Ohms resistance of the heating element I get 80 Ohms, do you think the heating element is at fault or should I look elsewhere?
It sounds like the element is probably good from your ohms test. If the element is 80 Ohms and the Voltage is 240V, that would be a 720 Watt heating element. You can calculate those numbers here: partsdr.com/blog/ohms-law-calculator-a-crucial-tool-for-appliance-repair/
@@PartsDr it is a 610 W resistance, so 80 Ohms checks out when you consider 230V. I guess next step will be checking if 230V are reaching the resistance when the oven is on. Thanks!
Removing the element is not required. But disconnecting or turning off the power is required and you should also disconnect the wires to the element that you are testing.
Okay 10 to 75 ohms... Another video told me 30 to 100, and another told me 0 to 50... My reading is at 20 ohms for a GE hidden heating element that has been used for over 20 years at least once/twice a week. My Terminal Block is melting when the oven is on, but is fine when the broiler or stove top is in operation. Is my heating element bad? Or do I have something else I should be looking at?
It is probably good. If you aren't sure of the ohm rating, you can run the voltage and wattage numbers through an Ohm's Law calculator. For instance, 20Ohms at 240V would be 2880 Watts which would be very typical for a bake or broil element. ohmslawcalculator.com/ohms-law-calculator
I recently put aluminum foil at the bottom of my oven, and it overheated at the bottom and I turned off the oven immediately once I saw some flames and smoke. Do you think it is damaged?
@@PartsDr okay because the only damage on that back is from the broil element where I can see it’s burnt. But the stoves dead. So should I test the control board?
Hi, the ohm reading from the element sounds good. The temp sensor reading sounds bad. Check out this video that shows how to test the oven temp sensor here: ua-cam.com/video/zgRn_DvA8Rc/v-deo.html
@@tavy7200 If the elements are both good then you could have a bad control board (new ovens)/thermostat (older ovens) that is not sending power the the element(s).
@@PartsDr @Parts Dr ok thanks ,one more thing I have to tell you maybe helps you to fine the problem 🙂the bottom of the oven it's wavy and the color it's no more dark blue it's black some spots ,I think because the element don't works properly?or still I have to buy thermostat?thank you very much!!!
Very helpful and what is amazing is that the heating in front of Ryan looks identical to the Thermador element I'm replacing.
Thanks for the tutorial. Very helpful.
We are glad you found it helpful! 🙂
Thanks, just confirming I had got it right but having your excellent video really helped 😊
Great! We are happy that we could help!
Thanks for the tutorials. I have watched a few already. Keep up the good work
Thanks for the help!
You're welcome!!

It can commonly be caused by a bad control board or burned/broken wiring.
@@PartsDr you were right about the burned wire. Does this mean i just try reolacing the burned wire?

16.6 Ohms would be a good reading.
@@PartsDr thx !

So if they ohms are still in range, the element is good? Even though it doesnt heat up? What do we try next?

Do you have to remove the heating element to test it?

You could have a burned up heating element. It would be a good idea to test it.
Will a faulty broil element cause no power at all to the stove?
No, not normally. It is possible that if the element sparks and shorts out when it fails that it can damage a control board.

@@michaelriddle1432 We would start by checking the power supply to the range.
@@PartsDr do you have a video link on how to do that
@@michaelriddle1432 I'm sorry, we do not at this time.
My element was 13.5 ohms. That's good right?
Might be the temp sensor as that came back at .9ohms

my oven heat up for a minute or two then trip the circuit any suggestion ?
Mine does same thing did you find the problem?
good video
Hello,I have electric oven and he don't works properly he take 1h to get 230 C😔.can you help me? thanks
Did your bake and broil element both test good?
@@PartsDr yes
