the oven on my mer7700lz won't heat up at all, but the lights and controls all seem to work fine.

— asked by Jordan

Quick answer: The bake element has likely failed. This is a common failure point.

Diagnosis

The bake element has likely failed. This is a common failure point. The controls will function, but the primary heating component is open.

How to Fix It

Visually inspect the bake element at the bottom of the oven cavity. Look for any visible cracks, blisters, or breaks in the metal coil. A multimeter continuity test confirms failure.

If That Didn't Work

Check the oven's thermal fuse, located near the broiler compartment. A blown fuse will interrupt power to all heating elements. This requires continuity testing.

Heads Up

Always disconnect power at the circuit breaker before attempting any internal inspection or part replacement for safety.
