A Canton homeowner called about their Admiral oven that wouldn’t heat despite the controls appearing to work normally. We found a failed bake element that needed replacement to restore proper heating.
The Problem
The customer reported that their oven controls seem to work, but the oven doesn’t heat. The unit appeared to respond to temperature settings, but no actual heating occurred when attempting to use the oven.
Diagnosis
Testing revealed that the heating element was bad. While the control system functioned properly, the bake element had failed and could no longer generate heat when called upon by the thermostat.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: 316075103 — bake heating element
- Work performed: Replaced the failed heating element with a new one
- Result: The oven preheated to 350 degrees in 9 minutes
Is It Worth Repairing?
Admiral ovens are generally reliable mid-range appliances, and a heating element replacement is one of the more straightforward and cost-effective repairs. If the rest of the unit is in decent condition, this repair typically provides several more years of service life.
Maintenance Tips for Admiral Ovens
- Keep the oven interior clean to prevent grease buildup that can damage heating elements
- Avoid using aluminum foil on oven racks or covering the bottom, which can cause uneven heating
- Check door seals periodically to ensure efficient heat retention and reduce strain on elements
