Official Roper electric range parts

Troubleshooting your Roper electric range when the oven won't heat

• Confirm the power supply. Make sure that you have 240 volts of power going to the oven. Check both house circuit breakers for the range and reset any tripped breaker.
• Unplug the range and check the bake element. Replace the bake element if it's visibly broken or damaged.
• Remove the upper back panel. Unplug the element wires from the electronic control board. Use a multimeter to measure the resistance through the yellow and orange wires that go to the bake element. Your meter should read about 16 ohms of resistance through that circuit. If your meter measures around 16 ohms of resistance, then the bake element circuit is okay. Now, if you read no continuity, when you checked the bake element from the control board, then you probably have a broken bake element or a wiring failure in that circuit. Check the resistance of the bake element directly at the element terminal ends. If your meter reads "OL," replace the bake element. This video will show you how.

Common replacement parts for Roper electric ranges

• Bake element. The bake element is at the bottom of an electric oven and provides heat for baking.
• Broiler element. The broiler element is at the top of an electric oven interior and provides the heat for the broiling.
• Ceramic glass cooktop. The ceramic glass cooktop for an electric range provides a flat, smooth cooking surface. The radiant elements attached under the cooktop provide heat.
• Door light switch. The oven door light switch is a plunger switch on the frame of the oven above the opening to the oven. The oven door pushes the oven light switch plunger in when the door is closed to turn the light off. When the door is open, the plunger is released and the light is on.
• Control panel. The control panel houses the control keypad, temperature display and other displays. Switches and the electronic control board are attached to the control panel.
