Hey all,

I have a kitchen aid stove and its about 5 years old. We lost power over the weekend and now none of the burners or oven work. I tried to unplug it and i switched the curcuit breaker a couple of times giving it 2 minutes before i would turn it back on.

The lights come on and you can set the temp but nothing heats up. any ideas on what i can try tot do before i call someone to fix it?
thanks

Were the circuit breakers ones for the house or internal ones in the stove? Electric stoves may have internal breakers just for the burners and oven.

What is the make and model of your Kitchen Aid?

I flipped the curcuit in the house. I don't believe the stove has an internal one. We got the stove from sears, its a kitchenaid electric range bought in 04, model KERC508.

I really appreciate any help or ideas you might have.

thanks

Here is the Factory Manual for this Model Needs Adobe reader to display
The only thing I can see to check is the Control Lock circuit has been turned on
Page #12/60 (Unlocking instructions Here) Pic of the same on the Panel is on Page #11 (item #6)

The Bottom line question:
Is the panel lighting Up? If so check the item above
Not Lit then change the fuses and any Circuit breakers If they are like the UK it will be a 30 Amp circuit
You may have to reset the Control Lock too?

Thanks for the manual.

I have locked the oven and unlocked it just to make sure it wasn't that. It has a sabath mode setting so I set that then turned it off to make sure it wasn't that.

The panel is lighting up. I can turn the oven and burners on but they are not heating up. I took of the back just to see if i could see any fuses. I couldn't see anything. It looked real clean and I couldn't see anything wrong. Well anything obviouse.

I don't know how a power outage could create such a problem. I have tried to reset the curcuit in the house. I am starting to think it is the power and not the oven. Just not getting enough juice. Unless there is some kind of fuse or something i haven't been able to find.

thanks for the imput an the ideas. Got anymore?

take care D
