Inspect the element for holes or blisters. If it does not heat, this indicates that one Broiler Element may have burned out during use and may damage other elements such as the cooking cycle or heating elements to cause damage. The broiler element has stopped for the broiler to operate properly. Use a multimeter to test for continuity to determine if the convection elements have been burned out and need replacing. The convection element is a heatingĮlement that works in conjunction with other heating elements to heat the air circulating inside the oven. The element turns on when you select convection cooking. This type of sensor monitors internal temperature so that the appliance can control heat flow by turning off or on one or more heating elements as needed.

If the elements check out then there could be a problem with your sensor for example. There are various ways to do this, but we recommend using an Ohm meter, which will indicate whether the wires are broken or burnt out. The first way to troubleshoot this is to test the element. If your oven doesn’t bake evenly it could mean that there’s a problem with one of more elements in the appliance. If there’s no continuity, replace the broil elements.

To test if an element is burned out, use a multimeter to determine if there’s continuity between two prongs in the plug. Inspect the element for signs of damage including small holes, blisters, or black spots. If an element is not glowing red hot, it indicates that the element is not functioning. When broiling, the element is meant to glow red hot before turning off, indicating that it’s heating properly. If you find yourself in a bit of a fix and the oven temperatures are not quite what you had hoped for, there are many tell-tale signs that can help indicate when the element is working as intended and overheating, or when it is just not heating up all. The spark electrode is likely defective and should be replaced. If the spark electrode at the base of the gas nozzle is defective or worn out, you might hear a clicking sound when you turn on your appliance, but it won’t light. The spark electrode sends a surge of electricity to create the spark that ignites the gas in your appliance.

If they are not at fault, replace the spark module. When a burner generates weak sparks, or when the sparks are intermittent, it can mean that the spark module is defective.įirst, check the spark electrode and spark wire. Here we will discuss some common issues and solutions for Hotpoint stove troubleshooting.
