How To Fix An Oven With Little Or No Heat When Baking
by Steve Ash
Check the element for signs of heating and if it is still cold then it may be defective. Disconnect the power and then remove the back panel. First check the wires as they may have become loose or corroded. If the element appears to be fine visually, test it for continuity with a multi-meter. If the element is burned or no longer has continuity, it will need to be replaced. If the element is ok then you will need to check the bake circuit to determine the cause. This involves live voltage checks and should only be performed by qualified persons. Components to check include fuses, if the range is equipped, and oven control thermostat or electronic control.

The adjustment screw is normally located on the back of the control, but if sealed, it is not meant to be calibrated. Remove power to the appliance before performing this test. If the bake or broil elements are not receiving power, then you can check the appropriate contacts of the oven thermostat for continuity with a multi-meter.
