Replacing the broil element in your DCS electric wall oven
- Shut off the circuit breakers for the wall oven to completely disconnect electrical power.
- Open the oven door and remove the oven racks. Remove the broil element mounting screws. Remove the broil element support mounting screws and remove the supports. Carefully pull the broil element forward to expose the wires connected to the back of the element. Disconnect the wires, taking care not to let the wires slip through the holes at the back of the oven. If the wires slip through the holes, you’ll need to pull the oven out of the cabinet and remove the back cabinet panel to retrieve them. Use pliers to pull the wires off the broil element if necessary. Remove the broil element.
- Connect the wires to the broil element. Push the ends of the broil element through the holes in the oven cavity and reinstall the mounting screws. Reinstall the broil element supports and secure them with the mounting screws. Reinstall the oven racks and close the oven door.
- Reset the house circuit breakers for the wall oven to restore electrical power to the appliance.
Troubleshooting your DCS electric wall oven when its oven door won't unlock
If the door won't open when the oven cools down after self-cleaning, or when you try to disable child lock mode or control lock mode, the problem could be with the oven door lock assembly or the electronic control board. First, shut off power to the oven for 2 minutes and then restore power to reboot the control board. Try disabling the control lock or set and then cancel a self-clean cycle to unlock the oven.
If the oven door won't unlock, shut off power and then check the wiring between the electronic control board and the oven door lock assembly. If the wiring is okay, replace the oven door lock assembly. If that doesn't fix the problem, you might need to replace the electronic control board as well.
