On Thursday, the top oven was working fine, next day it wasn't. (Bottom oven hasn't worked in years, elements removed) The oven light comes on and the clock works. The indicator light by the temp setting knob does NOT come on.
When it stopped working, the elements get warm to the touch, but never get hot.
I'm guessing it's a voltage problem, that it's only receiving one 120v leg of the 240v. I changed out the circuit breaker with an identical 240v 60A breaker, but the problem remains the same. I'd rather not have to pull the oven out of the wall just to check voltage at the oven. Can I check voltage where the elements plug in? Should it be 240v there? What else can I easily check?
I'm going to have to purchase a voltmeter to test with, any suggestions? "Every task is an excuse to purchase a new tool"
Any other thoughts that I'm over looking?
Thanks,
Jeff

Gene,
Thanks for your reply. I think I lied about the model number; it's a Whirlpool RB130PXK, not RB1300PXK.
I took the control panel off, and don't see any wiring or insulation that looks obviously burned. I do see the wiring block with 2 red, 2 white, and 2 black. I'm almost out of reach, and my cheap voltmeter doesn't have clips, just probes. I'm an electricity wimp, so I think I'm going to avoid checking voltage there. I guess I'll leave it apart and and let the local repair guy make some Christmas money off me.
Again, thanks for your help,
Jeff
