If broil element goes on during bake cycle does unit require service?

Answer 1

Best answer

not necessarily.

in some ovens, both the broil and bottom heating elements come on during preheating and might also come on to bring the temp back up.

Call a repair man from the same company as the stove was made by. they can tell you all about it.

Answer 2

Sounds like it to me!

Answer 3

The broil element, especially in older ovens, is the heat source for baking.

Answer 4

Often the circuits of an electric oven produce heat from above and below the food to provide more even heat in the oven.

Answer 5

No both elements go on/off periodically to keep the heat consistent throughout the baking cycle.
