There is a small schematic in the back of the PDF. I would trace the circuit and make sure all elements have voltage on them. More than likely, either a blown fuse/circuit breaker or an open connection/wire. Looking at the schematic, I don't see any kind of fuse... So, the other thing it could be, is the switch. Again, a little time with a multimeter and you should be able to find the problem. Almost missed it.. There is a thermostat which could also be bad. If you take the panel off, and take some pictures we can also point out places to look. -- brett |

I am not in the business of fixing them. So, I do not charge. I will help you fix it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Thanks for the comment on my car! -- brett |

Ohm out youur elements first. No continuity, no worky. If these are ok then find the hi-limit switch. It's a heater/oven and should have one, as such (UL requirement). Some are reset type and others need to be replaced. Once you locate it, just jump it w/ the volt meter to check for presence of voltage. If you've got voltage then it's the limit switch. The thermostat can be checked w/ ohm meter. Watch it switch on/off as you cycle it.
