I believe we have some home repair gurus in ATOT, so I figured I'd run this by you guys and see if someone can point me in the right direction...
Kenmore (yeah, I know, they don't make a damn thing) electric range, P/N 790.96020400 (or 790.9602x400...I think the variable is just for different colors). Pretty standard flat top all electric 220v range. Knobs for stovetop, digital display for oven.
We were having some trouble with some bad breakers in the house, which are supposedly now fixed (old house, really needs a whole new box...whole other topic there). Never had symptoms from the stove, though, just some flickering from the 110v appliances on a different circuit. So I dunno if this is just coincidence or what.
Anyhoo- The range powers on and everything on the display/controls works (responds to user input). But the heating elements in the oven never come on. The burners on top work fine.
I can hear the standard relay click when you turn the oven or broiler on. But nothing happens. Oven/preheat lights come on; that's it.
All the wiring appears to be fine. I've checked continuity into the control board; both 110v feeds are getting to where they're supposed to go. The heating elements (wired in series, bake output should turn both on, broil only does the top) seem to be fine. Nothing visibly wrong, not grounded out, and both read about 20 ohms when checked with a DMM.
The outputs on the board are labeled bake, broil, and L2 out. I got no juice on them.
Seems to me that the controller is about the only option. Dr ATOT, do you concur?
