EASY FIX: Oven Not Heating or Heating Slowly - *TURN OFF The Power Before Repairing!

*TURN OFF THE POWER BEFORE BEGINNING THIS REPAIR*

Is your oven taking forever to preheat and cook? Its very likely that you have a faulty element. Oven elements are the curvy shaped objects found on the top and bottom of your oven. If one goes bad, the other will have a hard time keeping up. Its much easier to fix that you might think. In this easy to follow video, I show you step by step how to remove, test, and replace yours. If you need to order a new element, you can use the links below to get started.

Follow the instructions in the video for finding and ordering the correct element for your oven. Here is a link to the one for my oven.

Literally the clearest instructional video ever created. Great work bud

Be careful guys.! My oven bake element did not glow red or work at all. HOWEVER there was 242 volts present at the 2 spade connectors, EVEN THOUGH my oven bake selector knob was in the OFF POSITION. Please BE SURE YOUR APPLIANCE IS UNPLUGGED FROM POWER SOURCE BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO WORK ON ANY APPLIANCE. And i always check using a quality multimeter to be sure there is no power applied.

Really did a good job in explaining the problem and showing how to repair the unit

THANK YOU! Four years later and you're STILL helping your fellow man! 😇

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.

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

We have the exact same oven! Our bottom element doesn’t always stay on. We will try this! Thanks

[kmswafford]

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.

[chrisgrady]

This is exactly what I needed, thank you!

[TheVic]

Thank you, I need to replace my element ASAP ❤

[TheGuy]

I wish my oven was as easy to work on as yours! I have to buy some crazy square headed socket set just to take a lot of bolts out.

[shaneleonard]

One thing I don't remember he mentioned is to make sure to flip the breaker to the stove.

[lisawood]

I'm sure this is the issue with my less than 2 years old Dacor oven. I would never buy another one from them! Thank you for the instructions.

[tylerbrown]

You helped me fix my oven - thank you!

[chrishere]

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

[jonbakan]

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 ?

[eliacamillounvenetointrasf]

Amazing video, thank you! What if the bottom resistence is not exposed?

[snapperkc]

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👍

[TheKahunas]

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 .
