Thank you for this tip! But you said it was intended for professionals only. Really? I would think professionals would actually know to do that. It's it's nuts like me that may touch it and it's hot. I'm the one that needed to know this. Thank you😂
Thank you so much for your video. Was about to throw out my cooker and I decided to follow your instructions on changing the bake element. Was so easy to follow and worked a treat. Thank you
Thanks for the video! This helped my aunt get her oven element replaced. A few tips. One, you should have turned off the breaker when replacing the element because if you would somehow have turned on the oven by mistake when replacing the element, you could have gotten electrocuted. Two, try the speed bake mode on your oven. It is basically a convection bake which uses a fan to heat the oven quicker, cook quicker, and cook more evenly.
To be safe, the person in the video should say TURN OFF THE POWER or disconnect plug, before beginning (even though it is written below) and then tell you to turn on the power at the end, before hitting the oven control.
thank you for this video, our oven is taking 40+ mins to get to 350, i took the bottom off the oven and the baking element seems fine took about 3mins to turn on, no breaks, stays red and hot .no dim spots. Puzzled
I replaced my lower element (despite passing the continuity test) because I could touch it while it was heating. Still not heating up after replacement though. I'm also puzzled.
Great video, what if both elements do the same. Mine just decided not to. Going to test elements but I think it .ight be my thermal fuse since both are doing it. Any advise ?
Good info, our old oven has the same symptoms as yours... I just thought the element must be good, no breaks in it if it eventually heats up. Now I know that’s not so👍
He did not talk abought the convection element. Its behind the fan in the back and if it does not work it to can cause your oven to not work properly and preheat longer because most newer ovens turn on all elements during preheat.
I know this is old but for anyone watching this , switching the yellow for white and vice versa makes no difference, the leads are just giving power to the element , just like a light bulb .
I hope you see this! I am in an apt and the maintenance man was supposed to come today to look at my oven, the lower coils, like the one you are showing are not working. i was in the middle of baking an order and the oven all of a sudden basically stopped heating. It probably took somewhere around 3 1/2 hours to bake both cakes. I have orders for the next two weeks and have no idea how long the maint guy will be down. Should I attempt fixing this myself? Is Home Depot or Lowe's the best place to buy one? I need it ASAP... Thanks!
I am using the stovetop with no problem. The broiler is kaput, the bottom part is barely putting out heat and the maint man is coming over to check to see which part he will have to order..! Thanks for your reply!@@TightWadDIY
Thank you this vdo helping me change the elements, but now another problem is my fan force doesn’t work, fan is working well, eco grill, fan grill ect are working in order but fan force doesn’t heat up, please help
Know of a way to check the element if you do not have access to a multi meter? Of course I'm assuming if the top element works but the bottom does not it has to mean a bad element. Good or short sighted assumption?
Is the Convection Bake mode the same as the Bake mode? My broil works fine, but my bake is really Low and my Convection Bake doesnt heat at all, the fan just turns on. Ive only ever used convection Bake on ALL my dishes.
I have a double oven, My lower element in the upper oven wasn’t heating, so I exchanged it with the lower element in the lower oven and it worked fine there in the lower oven. The lower element isn’t heating up ONLY in the upper oven. Can you advise?
I fixed mine, changed both elements and all worked well and on the following day which is TODAY the oven stopped getting power totally. I’m heartbroken because I don’t have a tester and will have to pay someone to sort this issue out.
@@TightWadDIY I’ll check once again, it’s just disappointing since it did work then stopped. But I’m thinking maybe the newer elements were too powerful for the older thermostat, plus my sister was using the oven at a full temperature.
I have a virtually identical oven but the lower element is covered. Both elements aren’t working so no heat at all yet everything else involving the control board is working fine (oven light, clicking sound calling for heat, clock, lower oven of my double oven). Is it reasonably possible both elements in the upper oven stopped working at same time or is it more likely something else is wrong such as the control board or a temp sensor?
My Jennie is doing same thing. If set to 400 or so it makes it to 320 and stops. Thing is there is only a top element. So not sure what to do yet. Will investigate the model 😅
My Mother In Law has a 2019 I believe.. Frigidaire dual in wall oven. The bottom oven gets so hot it trips the breaker. Any idea what would cause that?
Good and interesting insight. However, I dont have an element on the bottom. How do I find it? I have replaced the back motor that includes an element and have replaced the sensor but it takes forever still to get to 400F
@@TightWadDIY Your correct. Thanks !! However it still appears to be working. So all elements are working just takes along time to warm up. Fan and motor is new but doesnt seem to be blowing hard. The fan is turning not pushing hard and all elements appear to work.
Just tried two aftermarket elements and just installed the actual manufacturer's element and it"s still slow preheating and not glowing red. Did you figure out your issue?
Did you figure it out? We replaced the obviously broken element. But its still taking forever to get to temp. But eventually does. Everything checks out

I have an electric ignition Magic Chef gas stove. I know I need to disconnect the power cord, but should I turn off the gas before I replace the heating element? Or is it okay just to disconnect the electrical plug? Thank you!
hi i removed the element in my Zanussi oven but i lost the spade wires at the back of the oven so had to take the back off to retrieve them. Now i dont know which way round they will go for the new element or can they be put on either way. I have to grey wires there is no earth.
The rule of thumb is if the wires are the same color then it doesn’t matter which way they are connected. If you have a green wire, it always goes to ground.
@@TightWadDIY well ive replaced it now and its all working fine although the replacement element had straight prongs unlike the original which were angled
I should have watched this before replacing an element. I did not shut off the power and when removing the element I touched one or both electrical connectors to the oven wall and produced a large spark. I finished replacing it but now 3 of the 4 elements in the double oven don't work. I shorted something out. I hope there are eternal fuses, if not, my wife gets a new oven.
I have an oven almost identical to yours and I too have been having trouble getting it to heat and cook. I’m going to check the element as you have suggested here. However, I have noticed that the fan in the back will start out running, but shortly thereafter, will stop, and thusly the oven will no longer heat up or stay heated. It is a double wall oven, and the lower unit acts in the same way, and started at the same time. Any ideas in that?
So i have a newer kenmore wall oven..only top element is visible..a few days ago...i preheated oven..and right off the bat...smelled a burning smell getting pushed out by oven fan.....the smell didnt last long...turned off...restarted it...no heat or natta..
The element in mine only glows red sometimes and takes forever to preheat. Tonight I attempted to make cookies and the instructions said 12-13 minutes. I was cooking 45 minutes before I gave up. They were still raw
My electric oven preheats and seems to bake okay except if I open the door and the heat escapes it doesn’t reheat. GE Profile. The digital display shows the set temperature but not the actual temperature. The fix is turn it off, then reset the temp and it goes back up.
Many thanks for your comment. I had the screw up with the broil element in the lower oven and now neither element works in the lower so maybe I blew out the bake element. Strange now that the bake element in the upper oven doesn't work but the broil element works fine.
any fix with this? my issue is that upper element works fine when i only turn on the top element, but when i turn the uppand lower one, they do both turn on but are very dull red, definitely not the same as when i only turn one of them on.
I found out the hard way. My brand new oven quit baking because of a WARPED TEMPERATURE ELEMENT. Technician said that high baking temperatures will cause the element mount to warp out of place causing a disfunction.
I have Frigidaire Pro Series appliances, and absolutely hate them. My oven only being 2 years old, has stopped heating, total junk products. And I can't see. anything in the bottom of my oven because it is covered.
@@TightWadDIY every screw near the Hong is tight. So there’s short and longer hinge the one on top is closer to the short one on the other side they are more apart is the long one suppose to be on a tack ?
You should never use Diode check to check resistance. Diode check only tells you if the multimeter overcomes bias voltage for a diode. It's not an accurate method to check for open or short.
What if it's not the heating element? Seems all these DIY videos assume it's the bake element.... which would be pretty obvious to anyone working on the oven.

A lot of ovens have a cover over the lower element. Look for some screws in the bottom of the oven you can remove to reveal the element.

The top is used for regular baking too. When broiling it’s the only one used though.
Got the right screw out but can't get the left one out.. It's like it's stripped
That’s not good! Maybe try getting a putty knife behind the screw head while your turn it.

It’s probably just covered by a plate. You should see some screws were you can remove it.
Didn't tell DIYers to cut power to the oven prior to starting replacement. Maybe I missed it.
