well, after looking up the cost of the heating element, and how it doesn't seem to be easily repaired by myself, I just kept it on Roasting...about 2 hours later, I hear the flame coming on, so I realize the heating element still works...somewhat.
What I tried next, while not conventional, it is worth the while: I changed the setting to Self-Cleaning, and let the oven run through the cycle. This is the second or third time we used this function sinced we bought the oven...after the cleaning is done, it seem to be working fine...for now at least...so I am guessing there might be some dirt that got on somewhere to prevent everything from working properly, and the self-cleaning burnt it off...not sure why it works to be honest, just my guess
