my stove takes to long to heat up/preheat?

Question

It's a Magic Chef stove and it takes to long to pre-heat

Answer 1

Well, the most obvious answer would be that either the top or the bottom heating element has stopped working. You can check these one -at-a-time yourself by inspection. Each should glow red when turned on high. Check Broil first. It should come on quickly. Then check Bake.
If found to be deffective they are easy to remove when cooled down and replace.
