5 Did u happen to check the element? That is the heater output at the bottom of the oven, under your shelves. It may be burned out, or it may be disconnected from the wiring where it plugs into the back of the oven. What u need to do is pull the element out, they are screwed into place with a small screw at the top of the hole. When those are out then u can pull the element thru the holes, but not jerk them. Look at the very ends, there should be one or two wired connected to the end, if no connection, then that is your problem, no power getting thru. I took the back of my oven off and found the loose wires and threaded them thru the holes and reconnected, and then it worked. Remember to plug out the power plug before doing any of this, as u can get a unpleasant jolt. You have to plug in the power after you reconnect, then if it is working, replace the screws, again with the power off. If you have a question if the element is good or bad, an appliance repair shop can test it right then, it will save a big repair bill if u do this yourself. The element does not cost much, less than $20.00, but they will check it for free. If this is bad, make sure you have model and serial number to replace. Tat can be usually found on the oven door, at the bottom of the side. Hope this helps.
