No power? -- both ovens don't work (heat), the clock stopped, lights in the ovens don't work, etc -- would be something common to the entire unit. Pull it from the cabinetry, check for a burned/shorted wire on the incoming power line (it's probably hard-wired to a junction box at back of the cavity), open the control panel, check for a wire problem in there. |

Likely fixable with relative ease. If BOTH ovens are dead, you may have a wiring issue. I would look for where the main power connection is. Perhaps a terminal on the wiring block loosened up and shorted. The heating elements can also fail, but are pretty easy to replace. Test each oven on bake then broil to determine if it is totally dead, or if only one component is malfunctioning. Also, find the circuit breaker for your ovens in your main breaker box / fuse box and reset it.
Your oven is far from dead, Dave |
