If you have an electric power oven that has stopped working in Lodi Ca you might be able to save some money by fixing it yourself. If your oven is not getting hot and you have electric heating elements, then you may be able to fix the problem by simply and easily replacing the heating element in the oven. Sometimes these heating elements stop working because the electricity can not flow through them any more. Over time the metal wears out and loses conductivity and electrical resistance builds up in the circuit preventing enough electricity to flow through the element to heat it up till it gets glowing red hot. If you notice that your heating element is not glowing red when you turn on the oven then it may just need to be replaced.
In order to replace this heating element on an oven you will need to remove some parts. You can just google “how to remove the heating element on whatever model your oven is.” It will tell you how to disassemble the oven in order to replace the part. The First thing you will want to do is disconnect the power from the oven to be safe. Next you will want to remove the wires connected to the heating element. You should be able to do this in one of two ways depending on the type of oven you have. If you have a kitchen aid or maytag you will probably need to remove the back panel on the oven to get to the wire connectors and the bolts holding in the heating element. When you can access the wires and the screws disconnect the wires and screws from the element. The next thing to do is simply pull the element out of the oven. Now you can put the new one back in the same way it came out. This repair should not take more than an hour of time.
There are some models of ovens that you will not even have to remove the outer back panel. The Whirlpool electric ovens can be repaired many times without removing anything on the outside of the oven except for unplugging it. This oven model you can replace the heating element by removing the screws on the metal bracket holding in the element on the inside of the oven. Once these screws are removed you can pull the element out gently until you see the wires and then disconnect the wires and remove the element. Then just replace the element with a new one (you can order from amazon) and you are good to go.
Common reasons for this part to fail are that the element has had some food leak onto it and then the food ends up melting through the element rendering it nonfunctional.
