My Tech Sheet show's the following Elements with their resistance range:
Bake Element 25-30 Ohms
Inner Broil Element 45-55 Ohms
Outer Broil Element 45-55 Ohms
Convection Ring Element 28-35 Ohms

I've used an Ohm Meter to test each and found:
Bake Element 28 Ohms
Inner Broil Element 33.1 Ohms
Outter Broil Element 56.5 Ohms
Convection Ring Element 1.2 Ohms (honestly it jumps all over from .7 to 2.5 and I know this element is bad)

My questions:
1. It appears my Inner Broil Element is weak and my Outter is somewhat high. Do I need to replace them or are the OK like this? If I need to replace them can someone point me to the correct part for my oven and some steps to replacing them?
2. I clearly need the convection ring element and I've found this part but do you know if I replace it from inside the oven or do I need to pull the oven out and replace it from the back?

Here are your parts
Replacement parts for WHIRLPOOL KEBC107KSS0 OVEN | AppliancePartsPros.com

Here is a manual which should help with the convection element replacement.
Whirlpool KAC-50 27 and 30 inch Electric Built-In Single Oven Service Manual - ApplianceDigest.com
You have to join the site to download the manual but it is free and this is a very good site for manuals and other info for the appliance repair DIYer.

Usually elements go open (infinite resistance) so it is probably OK.
Basically it is a straight wire coated in a ceramic so they cannot partially short out to give a lower resistance.
I would check it's resistance to the mounting plate.
Use a high meter scale and it should be infinite ohms.

Well, I removed the Convection fan cover so that I could test the element and actually found the probe (where the wire connects on the flat blade) was completly melted in two. No damage to the wires at all. This was the cause of the problem that I asked about in a previous post http://forum.appliancepartspros...oven-wont-hold-heat.html
