    Oven heating elements out
    I have a double oven (kithchenAid kebc278). I self cleaned the lower oven this afternoon and now both elements in the lower oven don't seem to be working. During the self-cleaning cycle the oven got hot and worked fine. Is it possible both elements burned themselves out during the self-cleaning? Scratching my head on this one.

    Is there a reset button or a way to reactivate the oven to its normal use? Do you still have the instructions?

    Don't know of any reset button and nothing in the manual that seems to help.

    I found the manual online. Did you look at the Troubleshooting section too?

    When the elements are burned out you can usually see the damage two at one time is highly unlikely

    Yes, I have the manual and looked through the troubleshooting section. I'm now thinking its something electrical inside, a capacitor or relay. Doesn't make sense both elements going out at the same time right after a cleaning cycle.
