Whirlpool Oven Unit: Boiler element working, baking does not. Pulled out bottom element and left hand wire burned off at connector. Unit tripped breaker. Is it a bad element or some other issue that caused short, and now what do I do about hte burned connector. Thanks for your help.
Rich for Model Number GMC275PDQ5
Answer Rich,
You will want to check the resistance of the element to make sure that it is good. The resistance should be approximate 28.8 ohms. If it has proper resistance then the part is good. If not then replace the element. The connector can be replaced with a high voltage 1/4" female spade terminal.

My brother cleaned my oven and now nothing heats, both lower and broiler don't work. Sounds like its working but no heat.
Ray for Model Number rmc305pdq2
Answer Hello ray,
You will want to check the thermostat to make sure that it has continuity. If not then the thermostat is bad. You can check the control with the oven turned on you should get 240 vac between bake and L1. If you are not getting voltage then the control is bad.

Whirlpool oven bake element not heating. Ran a continuity check of bake element and it is good, showing only about 23-30 ohms. Checked voltage on both sides of element, and they are both good 120+ volts on each. Broil element is heating normally as it would during preheat cycle. Is it safe to assume that even with good continuity there is a problem with the bake element since there is good power to each lead wire? Thanks

Answer Hi. The element part # W10207397 ohm reading is correct. Make sure you have proper 240 vac at the terminal block. Make sure you have 120 vac from each outer terminal block stud (L-1 & L-2) -to the center (neutral). Ohm each terminal separately to its mount (ground). See if the element is grounded to its outer sheath. If so then you can be getting a partial "red" heating just to the area of where it is shorted and not heating correctly. Isolate the bake feed wire from the terminal block to see if you are getting the 120 vac or if the wire connection is bad. Isolate the bake feed wire from the clock relay to the element. Put the Red meter lead into the female spade of the bake relay wire you took off the bake element. Select bake and see if you have 120 vac on the bake wire and the clock relay output is good. You have to measure voltage with at least one element wire disconnected. This way you know each feed leg (L-1 & L-2) are good and you are not reading "back-voltage through the element. A common issue allowing one to think that they do have the correct voltage. Tricky if you will. Thank You.

What is procedure for replacement of upper oven broil element in RBD275PDB12 Whirlpool double oven. Would it be best to replace bake element also?
Jim for Model Number RBD275PDB12
Answer Hello Jim. Disconnect the power and remove the oven racks and door. Remove the screws securing the element and bracket inside the oven. Pull out the element and remove the wires from it. Reinstall with the new element W10207397. in reverse order. Hope this helps.

How do you remove and replace the bake element in the upper oven? Does it require wiring?
Oscar for Model Number GBD307PDB09
Answer Hello Oscar. Disconnect the power to the unit. Remove the screws securing the element and pull it out enough to remove the wires from the element. Remove the old element and install the new element W10207397 in reverse order. Hope this helps.
