My Jennair oven is taking forever to heat up and has difficulty holding

I just put the voltmeter across the terminals and find that it is only
pulling about 115Vdc, which would explain the problem.

Any idea why it would be doing this? Is there a fuse that could've blown
taking out one leg of the 240V?

Thanks,

Ian


New info: When I check each terminal to ground, the brown/ground has 115V
but the red/ground has zero.

This would indicate that you heating element has grounded, checking little
more will show that that wire to
terminal on the heater is open or fuse blown some ovens may have fuse link
that opens with heat similar to your
heir dryer. Unless you know electronics/electric get professional to check
it out.


What does that tell us?
