Understanding the Problem
If your FPSC2277R range oven won’t reach temperature, heats inconsistently, or one surface element (burner) doesn’t work, the issue is usually a failed heating component, a sensor or a control issue. Electric ranges rely on a few discrete parts — bake element, broil element, infinite switch (surface element switch), temperature sensor, and the electronic control — any of which can cause no-heat or partial-heat symptoms. Before replacing parts, simple checks often narrow the fault. Confirm the element glows when set to bake/broil, watch for error codes on the control panel, and use a multimeter to test element continuity and sensor resistance. In many cases the oven bake element or the temperature sensor is the failed part; for a single dead surface burner you’ll more often find a bad surface element or an infinite switch problem.
Common Symptoms
Oven won’t heat or reaches low temperature, oven cycles too frequently, one cooktop burner doesn’t heat, elements don’t glow, error codes or displays flashing when selecting bake/broil.
Common Causes
- Burned-out bake or broil heating element (open circuit)
- Faulty oven temperature sensor or bad connection causing incorrect regulation
- Defective electronic control board or infinite switch (surface element control)

Helpful Repair Tip
Unplug the range (or shut off the breaker), remove the element or sensor, and test for continuity with a multimeter. A bake/broil element should show continuity; an open element means replacement. The oven temperature sensor typically reads about 1080–1100 ohms at room temperature (varies by model).
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I replace the bake element or oven sensor myself?
Yes — replacing a bake element or temperature sensor is commonly a DIY job if you are comfortable working with appliances. Always disconnect power at the breaker first. For the bake element: open the oven door, remove the mounting screws at the back of the oven cavity, pull the element forward to access the wiring, disconnect the quick-connect terminals, and install the new element in reverse order. For the sensor: remove the oven racks, unscrew the sensor from the interior wall, pull the sensor out enough to access the connector behind the panel, unplug and replace. If you’re not confident with electrical work or the issue appears to be the control board or wiring, hire a technician.
How much will it cost to fix a non-heating FPSC2277R oven?
Parts-only costs vary: bake or broil elements and sensors commonly run $25–$120 depending on OEM vs aftermarket. An electronic control board can be $150–$400 or more. Labor for a service call and repair typically adds $100–$300 depending on your area. Always confirm the exact part number for your range model/serial before ordering to avoid returns, and check if the appliance is still under warranty.
