Oven not heating up

The oven will not reach its set temperature. You press the bake button and hear a click and it says Pre and the oven never heats up to the right temperature. The oven just continues to click every 2 or 3 minutes. Where do I start?

I have an oven that has started to take a really long time to heat up. Sometimes close to an hour, and sometimes never heating up to 350 at all, it only gets to about 300. I was wondering what part is broken and what I can do to fix it. Thanks for your help!

Did the Bake element get red?

I replaced the bottom heat element and it still doesn’t heat up. When the part came to me it was bent, I don’t know if that could have made a difference. So, to re-cap: The broiler works, but the bottom doesn’t heat up at all. I’m not sure what else could be the problem, or what I should replace. I did pull out the oven and looked at the wireing, and everything looked okay. Any other suggestions?

Sounds like the problem is a bad relay board (#11 on the [B]diagram[/B]).
