Ge Profile Built in
JT915 - 30 "


When I press Bake and set temp on keypad
the oven fails to heat. 100 degrees in red stays at 100
I tried the Broiler, it also fails to heat.


Wired to20 amp, double pole breaker
Fairly simple.
Any ideas ?


Get out the multimeter and start poking around in the back. Figure out what
controls the elements, there's probably a contactor or big triac. It could
be as simple as a cracked solder joint on the control board.


It could also be an open in the actual heating elements.
