The burners worked fine but after several hours of baking a ham, it still hadn&#8217;t finished pre-heating. So it wasn&#8217;t totally dead, but in the words of <em>Princess Bride<\/em>, it was &#8220;mostly dead&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>So after lamenting the possibility of having to buy a new oven, I decided to look online and see what I could find out. I found out that it&#8217;s usually the baking element (that wire thing at the bottom in an electric oven) having problems if the oven won&#8217;t ever come up to temperature. So I opened up the oven and checked the element. It looked a little funny, so I touched it. It fell apart. Guess that needed some help.<\/p>\n<p>So we went on Ebay and ordered the part. It showed up today and I took out the old one and put in the new one (go me!). I turned on the oven and there was heat. So now we just have to be able to cook a meal and not have the house burn down and I&#8217;ll feel it was a success.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a shot of the old heating element.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-62\" title=\"stove2\" src=\"http:\/\/jaredsbrain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/stove2.jpg\" alt=\"stove2\" width=\"406\" height=\"406\" srcset=\"http:\/\/jaredsbrain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/stove2.jpg 406w, http:\/\/jaredsbrain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/stove2-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/jaredsbrain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/stove2-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 406px) 100vw, 406px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The other day, just in time for our month Iron Chef dinner parties, our oven decided to die on us.
