I have a Bosch HBL5451UC (500 series) electric wall oven that was working fine until a couple of months ago, though it did always seem somewhat slow to reach temperature.
Now it won't reach any temperature above about 325F - the "preheating" indicator stays on (for hours). The most obvious cause would seem to be a heating element (there's two that I know of, the broiler and the hidden one), but I've checked both of those out and they seem fine, both visually and resistance measured with a multimeter.
If I turn the broiler on, it gets red hot, so that's obviously working. On oven preheat, neither is red hot, though as far as I can tell (holding my hand close) both seem to get at least warm.
Any idea what could be wrong?
