Fagor Bake Element Circuit Failure

The oven on a Fagor range does not heat in bake mode, but the broil function may still work.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Burnt-out bake element, Loose or burnt element terminals, Faulty bake relay on the control board, Broken wiring to the element

Safety first: Disconnect power before working inside the oven or behind the range.

Inspect bake element: Look for visible breaks, blisters, or burn marks on the lower element.
Test continuity: Remove at least one wire from the element and measure resistance. An open circuit indicates a faulty element.
Check terminals: Pull the range out and remove the rear panel to inspect element connections for burning or looseness.
Replace element: Unscrew the element from inside the cavity, pull it forward, transfer wires, and install the new element.
If the element is good: The oven control board’s bake relay or wiring may be faulty and require professional diagnosis.
