Frustrated Diyer November 04, 2023 for Model Number KEBS107SSS04 My model KEBS107SSS04 oven is a 30" single Wall Oven with convection. The oven heating element does not come out as shown in the repair video. The oven heating element is behind insulation that wraps from the over the top to under the bottom of the back of the oven and wraps over the oven heating element. The oven heating element does not pull freely out of the back of the oven. It is unclear how to detach and remove the oven heating element from the rear as it is attached elsewhere. It doesn't appear that the oven pan that sits below the oven heating element can be removed from the rear of the oven. Any advice on how to remove the heating element will be much appreciated.
1 Answer Frustrated DIYer, the manufacturer's information shows that with the back panel removed, the process would be as follows: 1. Disconnect the two red wires from the hidden bake element terminals. 2. Remove the four screws from the hidden bake element cover. 3. Bend the hidden bake element cover flaps down as far as possible. 4. Using a single-edge razor blade, cut the insulation blanket along the bracket edge of the hidden bake element. Spread the blanket apart so you can access the bracket screws. 5. Remove the four screws from the hidden bake element bracket. 6. Pull the hidden bake element out and remove it from the bottom of the oven. (When you remove the hidden bake element, press down on the front edge of the panel that is below the element so that it does not interfere with the removal.) 7. Remove the two bracket screws from the hidden bake element and remove the bracket from the element. Read More...
Larry October 23, 2023 for Model Number KEBS107SSS04 How do you get to the bake element? This is a wall unit, and I can't believe installing a new bake element might require you removing the oven from the wall. You think they would have an access panel at the bottom, remove the cover and access the bake element.
1 Answer Larry, Remove your racks and use a flashlight. Check where the bake element goes into the back wall. There are two screws to remove and gently pull the element out. You might have to lift up the front a little. Do not let the wires come off the element and fall back into the opening or you will have to pull it out. Read More...
Vic July 15, 2021 for Model Number KESK901SSS08 How do you remove the oven bake element? I had the back panels removed, disconnected the wires and removed the element screws and it wont budge, do iI have to cut the insulation?
1 Answer Hello Vic, You will need to remove the bake tray cover 4450039 and the bake element WPW10207398 should slide out of the hidden bake tray WP4455037 through the slot. Read More...
Michael November 19, 2020 for Model Number KEMS308SSS05 My oven will not heat to the temperature set point. I replaced the temperature sensor, but this did not fix the problem. The bake element is hidden so visual inspection or testing continuity is not easy (have to remove the oven from the wall). Would the oven still heat at all if the bake element is damaged? Convection bake seems to work better than regular bake.
1 Answer Hello Michael, You should first verify there is 240Vac to the oven. If not, check for connection issues in the junction box where the power is connected to the home wiring. You will need to pull the unit so the main top can be removed for troubleshooting once voltage to the unit is verified. The thermal fuse WP8304452 will need to be tested for continuity. If open, this is the problem. If not, the bake element can be tested from the relay board. Turn the power off to the oven and test from T3-3 to T1-1. This tests directly through the bake element. You should get a reading of 28.8O ±10%. If this is the reading you get, the issue will most likely be a bad relay board WPW10119143. Read More...
Devin April 21, 2018 for Model Number kebs107sss04 How do I access the bottom heating element? Do I have to pull the wall oven and access from behind? On this model of oven, the baking element is not exposed in the bottom of the element.
1 Answer Devin, For this issue you would need to pull the unit out and remove the bake element from the back. Read More...
