Whirlpool Oven not working

[Zafar]

Hi,

My Whirlpool electric oven model RBS245PDQ12 is not heating (broil or bake).

All the digital display are showing correctly.

It shows pre-heat but after 5-10 minutes no heat at all.

Really appreciat your help.

Thanks,

Zafar

Both bake and broil elements are connected directly to L2 of the main power supply through a thermal fuse/cutout (see the link below) located on the back of the oven.

If that cutout is Ok (ie. not 'open') and the elements' circuit is still connected to L2, I can't see the problem being anywhere except in the electronic control (see the link below) itself. I can't see both elements failing at the same time (assuming that is what occured).

Thanks for your reply.

This is a built in wall oven, any idea how I can take a look at the back of the oven ?

Really appreciate your help.
