Oven display working but elements not heating

In an oven with electronic controls, the board doesn't switch the elements directly. It energises relays like this one, and the relay contacts carry the heavy element current. When the contacts burn or pit, an element can stop heating even though the display, clock and fan all work. You might hear the relay click with nothing happening, or find the oven only heats in some functions. The reverse can happen too. Contacts that weld shut leave an element running when it should cycle off, so the oven overshoots its set temperature.

Replacing an oven relay

This is a mains voltage repair. Isolate the oven at the switchboard and confirm it's dead before opening anything up. Check how the original relay is mounted and connected, then photograph the wiring and terminal positions. Transfer each wire to the matching terminal and secure the relay firmly. A licensed electrician should do this work, especially on a hard-wired oven.

Questions about this part

How do I know it's the relay and not the element?

Test the element first. If it shows a normal resistance but gets no power when the oven calls for heat, the relay or control board is the next suspect. Burnt or discoloured relay terminals are another strong clue.
