When I turn the oven dial to a bake temperature the Broil is the only thing that turns on. What could be the problem to cause it to no longer bake but Broil REALLY well..on any setting?

Here are your parts
Replacement parts for General Electric RB757WB1 Electric range | AppliancePartsPros.com

If everything looks OK but just the bake element does not come on then it could be the bake element is burned out.
Unplug the unit.
This is very important as many units still have 120 volts going to one side of the element even when it is turned off.

Undo the screw/s holding the element to the back of the oven.
Gently pull it forward into the oven.
Disconnect it from the wires.
Measure it with a meter, should be around 20 ohms.

It is a good idea to clip something (Clothespin etc.) to the wires so they do not disappear into the back of the oven while you are checking the element.
