My element went out, so I changed it. I turned on the oven to see if it works. It's been 3 hours and it is still not on 350. The oven is getting hot, it is moving up 5 every half hour or longer. It is at 245. What is wrong now?

Answer Senedra,
You will want to check the clock assembly to make sure that you are getting power between L1 and bake with unit turned to bake. If not then you will need to replace the clock assembly. If you do have the 240 vac then you will want to check at the element to make sure that you are getting 240 vac and if not then trace wires back to terminal block and look for damaged wiring.
The oven does not work. When I turn it on it reads 100 degress and stays there. Does not heat. The burners on the top of the stove do work..

Answer Hello Tom. Test the element and make sure it reads closed on the unit. If so, and you are not getting 120 volts from the control to the element, you will need to order and replace the control 5701M719-60 on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
