Lg Oven Not Heating Up: Causes and Fixes

Quick Answer

LG oven not heating: LG uses ProBake Convection with a heating element behind the rear wall (not on top or bottom like traditional ovens). This rear element provides more even heating but is hidden from view. If the oven doesn't heat in ProBake mode but works in standard bake, the rear convection element has failed. Standard bake on LG ovens uses a bottom element like other brands.
