The amana i am working with is the electric range. The oven does not heat but I have checked the element and it works. I have sent the electronic control unit off to be checked. It's ok. It just seems that the 110 is not passing through the control unit. Something is preventing the 110 to activate. Any ideas?

Here are your parts.
Replacement parts for ARDS802E models | AppliancePartsPros.com

have you checked the limit control (Item 17 in Section 2).
I am not 100% sure this is the correct part.
But there should be one in the unit that kills power to the elements.

Not sure where/what the limit control is or does. (where is the ref?)

I have tried the selfclean cycle and both elements heat. The broil cycle works and heats the top element. Just the Bake doesn't.

If the elements both heat in any mode then the limit is OK.

Have you checked the oven sensor
Here is a good link, check out 7,8 ,20 and 21.

Also I was able to find a manual.

I have to correct myself. In the selfclean mode the bottom element does not heat. I have checked the bake element by taking the wires off the broil element and putting them on the bottom element. The bottom element heated in the broil cycle so I know both elements are ok. So it seems that the bake element (bottom) does not heat in any mode. Does that take us back to a Limit Control ?

No it will not be the limit control.
Looking at the wiring diagrams the limit control is in circuit of both elements so if it was blown neither would work.

I do not know if the unit has an indication of when it is at set point temperature. If it does and the oven either never comes ready or takes a long time to come ready they the oven sensor is probably OK. The element is being told to heat up but is not.
If this is the case all I can see causing this is a bad wire/connection from the control board to the bake element or a bad control board.

The reason it may still come ready but take a long time is that many units use both the elements (usually switching back and forth between the two) during preheat.

If the unit shows that it is ready when it really is not, it could be a bad control board but may also be a bad sensor in that the board reads the sensor and thinks it is at set point when it really is not.
