[QUOTE="WormWiggler, post: 307791, member: 245"] So we noticed extended times were needed to bake things. Cranked the oven higher and only saw the bottom element get red. So bad top element. Let her cool overnight and hit the google nightmare. See things about checking resistance, ok, I can do that. Unscrew the element and give it a tug, crap, it is not a simple plugged into a socket set up. So I grab the oven and start to pull it from the wall, snap, crackle smoke… wtf. Still plugged in, so maybe I am seeing signs of a different issue. Get it pulled out and unplugged. See that the dangling element had angled up to the case and shorted out. Apparently the element has power going to it all the time? Looks like it just burnt the end of the wire/element connection off. So I do the resistance test, 16 ohms… mmm, thought the google said that was in the range of good, lots of math shit that I don’t want to partake. Test the sensor do jobby that controls the temp 1k ohms, think that is ok. So next step???? Element is 60 bucks, the age old question, throw $60 at a $200 old POS? [/QUOTE]
