I turned the broiler on, after about 30 seconds it made a loud "pop" sound. I saw a spark fall down from the broiler element. I looks now like a dime sized piece of the broiler element is missing. Neither the broiler, or bottom element are working now. What do you think? Can I fix this myself be installing a new element or is it something worse? Thanks.

Just a defective broil element shouldn't affect operation of the bake element unless it also blew a house fuse/breaker when it went (in which case the surface elements wouldn't be able to heat at full power, if at all, either).

If the surface elements ARE still working properly, the fuses/breakers are OK in which case the element failure could have damaged the oven control system which on your model looks to be an electronic control.

There's a slim chance the bake element is also just burnt out but that would be a r-e-a-l coincidence.

Can I fix this myself

That remains to be seen. If you can determine the cause(s), it might be a good indicator of whether you can repair it yourself or not.

stove burners still work, the "pop" did not trigger the breakers, but the bake element is in fact not working. it must have affected the control panel. i'm calling in the pros. thanks for the feedback, very helpful.
