I have a Frigidaire crown series Range model F04c367, serial #VF4470250 that has a oven problem. The lower element is no longer working. Just happened out of the blue. The top element is still working and heats up, just not the bottom. There are no error codes on the led display. Quite frankly I have never worked on an oven before and have no idea where to start. I did try wiggling the lower element but it didn't help.
Got any ideas?

Hi,

Yes, You'll need a ohm meter to check for continuity on your bake element. Make sure your home breaker is off to your oven first before testing it.

You can get a cheap volt/ohm meter at Radio Shack.

You can get access to the bake element from the back of your oven, by pulling it out away from the wall, or there should be 2 screws that hold it in from inside your oven, then you can usually pull the element out from inside your oven with the 2 wires connected to it.

Remove the wires and use the volt/ohm meter on the ohms setting and see what it reads, a good element should read 10-30 ohms.

Here's the bake element for your model:
Manufacturer's Number: 316075104
