I'm looking for a little help in identifying the cause (and hopefully a fix) for the lower bake element in my double oven not working.
While baking a cheesecake, some water spilled onto the bottom of the oven however, there was no popping noise, nor did the breaker switch off.
The oven was at a low temp. and remained on until the cake was done. The next time I tried to use the lower oven is when I noticed that it would not heat up.
I've checked the following.....
All of the glass-top heating areas work. The upper (smaller) oven works and the lower oven BROIL element works.
The only thing not working is the lower bake element in the lower oven.
I tool the back off and checked all electrical connections - everything is fine with no areas of "burns" to wires, etc. I also took the top back off, exposing the back of the control board...again, everything is connected fine and there are no areas that look burned or shorted.
What should I check next in order to determine why this is happening and if it can be fixed?
Thanks so much!
