Whirlpool Whirlpool WOS51EC0HS 5.0 cu. ft. Single Wall Oven MECH-NOT-HEAT Error Fix: Oven Not Heating

Error code MECH-NOT-HEAT on the Whirlpool Whirlpool WOS51EC0HS 5.0 cu. ft. Single Wall Oven means: Oven Not Heating. The oven does not reach the set temperature. For electric ovens: check the bake element at the bottom of the oven (and broil element at top) — a failed element may show visible damage (blistering, holes, cracks). Test with a multimeter for continuity. For gas ovens: check the igniter — it should glow bright orange within 30 seconds and the burner should light within 90 seconds. If the igniter glows but gas does not light, the igniter is weak (replace it) or the gas safety valve has failed. Check that the gas supply is on.
