Magic Chef electric oven problem - help!
Anthony Teelucksingh
I have a Magic Chef electric oven/burner. This evening we noticed
that the oven does not work. The burners work. I wonder if the
problem could have been caused by turning off the power to the house
for a short while? I had a bulb break in a socket in a bedroom so I
turned the power off using the main circuit breaker (there was no
breaker simply for that one room) to get the screw end of the bulb out
of the socket. We've lost power before during the summer, and we've
never had a problem with the oven. Any ideas would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks.

First go turn off the breakers (or remove the fuses) for any 240V
appliances you have (stove, water heater, air conditioner, etc). Then
go around the house and check all lights and most outlets to see if they
all have power. If some do not have power then likely one side of the
main breaker isn't making contact. You can try turning it off and on
again, but if it has failed once you should probably get it replaced
fairly soon.
If that doesn't identify the problem then unplug and replug the stove.
(You can sometimes access the plug without removing the stove by
removing the bottom drawer.) If that still doesn't fix it then probably
you have a problem inside the stove, possibly a burned-out oven
element. (In fact, the FIRST thing you should check is whether the
broiler element works. If it works and the oven element doesn't then
most likely the oven element is burned out.)

Seen this with our Magic Chef. Turn on the oven, never heats up. Actually,
what happened was my wife turned on the oven, it didn't heat up,
she called me, I turn on oven, everything worked. Been working ever since.

That should not effect operation of the range. If you have an electronic
clock, you can try either unplugging the range for a minute and plugging it
back in again or turning off the power to it again at the fuse box.
If you have a mechanical clock (either digital or analog), make sure the
timer portion was not bumped into the 'automatic' cook position rather than
the manual. Some models have a separate switch to set auto/manual that may
have been moved inadvertently.

If that was the case here, the surface burners wouldn't work either as they
are 240 elements as well.

Not all styles work on 240 all the time. Some (at least the old PB
units) are switched to 120 on low settings. Plus the oven draws much
more current and so will be more affected by a poor connection.

That's true, I was only thinking of stoves built in the last 40 or so years.

not's not hard programmed to preheat to a certain value? If this
isn't the case, it sounds like you have a malfunctioning controller
board.

Hmmm. I most certainly don't understand how I can access a copy of a
zip file but then not be able to unzip it so I can watch it. That
seems VERY clever!
