Hello - It takes over an hour for the oven to heat up on both bake and convection bake. Upper oven is worse that lower oven. Sometimes it will just stall at about 250 degrees. Any suggestions? Is it worth trying to repair a ten year old oven?

Does both broil elements work and get red hot?

I can't locate the tech. data sheet for this model, but you should have it in the appliance control panel.

Turn the breakers off to it first before opening the control panel.

Is it worth trying to repair a ten year old oven?

Depends on how much you use it, if you use it daily or many times a day its best to save the repair money for a new oven.
