It looks like 37% of people i have already said that it does not heat on bake but my main question is, with this newer model, is it only supposed to turn bright red on boil and not on bake? I have never seen this before but it is taking twice as long to cook my food without the bright red light on bake. It’s just dark in there the entire time that i cook the food. Is the element supposed to turn red on back. There is no bottom element.
For model number WFE515S0ES2
Hi Fontaine, thank you for your question. When an oven is heating, the elements will cycle on and off as they are needed. The elements will not stay on all the time. Most electric ovens use both the bake element and the broil element in a bake cycle, with the bake element performing 90 percent of the heating. If the oven is not heating correctly when you are baking, there may be an issue with the oven temperature sensor. This fixes the issue the majority of the time. You will need to test the sensor with a multimeter to see if it is working correctly. Set your multimeter to the Rx1 setting and touch the terminals with the probes. The reading you should receive varies between models, refer to your owner’s manual to determine how much resistance a functioning thermostat should have for your model. Additionally, refer to your wiring diagram to determine which set of contact(s) you should be testing. If the issue is not with the sensor, you will need to check the bake element, the electronic control board and the wiring between the parts to see which part is causing the issue.
Opened up the back of the stove. Unpluged the sensor. Replaced the sensor. Replace the back of the stove.
The sensor that has been replaced is not what is expected. After reading all of the instructions for adjusting the temperatures, the only temp that stays steady is when we first turn on the oven to 350 degrees. That stays steady but when I turn it to 400 it slowly goes up to 425 degrees.
I numbered every part. ex: 1 L., for first part removed left side. I used a magic marker to circle the holes and wrote the number of screws used on the part, set the srews in a separete place, so that I new where these screws went to. The cleanup was pretty time consuming, but I was able to keep my stove, when every repairman I called to fix my stove told me I was better off buying a new stove. ($600.00 stove 2 years old)Please Note: The insulation blanket needed for the entire stove is two pieces, the sides and top are one part # and the bottom and back, are another part #. I did not know this. I just purchased the top and sides. I got lucky, the back and bottom were still in good shape. So I guess I should have read the description of the part more carefully to see what it covers, before I ordered it. It took two people two hours to do the work, it was really nice to have an extra set of eyes, to remember what direction pieces of metal from the stove went. I would do it all over in a heart beat instead of buying a new stove.
removed the screws holding the back metal panel, this exposed the wires to the switch. tested the wires to find that they were live when the switch was in the off position. ordered a new switch. UNPLUGED THE STOVE. removed the knob on the front of the stove. this exposed 2 screws, removed screws and the switch came away from the stove. removed each wire from the old switch and replaced them in the same position on the new switch. inserted new switch into the stove and attached the 2 screws. replaced back panel and pluged in stove. all tested well
