Oven element shorted and sparked and welded itself so I had to turn off breaker. Replaced the oven element and will still not heat up. The clock works, timer works, broiler works, stove top works. Checked the wires from the element to the control panel and they look fine! Help!

The broiler element read 19 and the bake element (that does not work ) read 21

o.k. put your meter on at least 240 volts. unplug range, remove one of the wires from the bake element. isolate this wire so that it is not touching anything. plug range back in. place red lead from meter on the wire still connected to the bake element, put the other lead on a neutral wire [white] or againts a range screw, to ground lead. if you have 120 volts, then this is the hot wire directly to the element. if not, carefully touch the red lead to the disconnected wire, and other lead to neutral or ground. should have 120 volts on one of the wires. now, the wire with no power comes directly from your clock or more correctly named, electronic range control, ERC. turn the oven on, check the wire that had no current on it. if it does not have 120 volts on it then the erc is bad. take the erc off and look at the back of the board and see if there is a damaged circuit path or relay joint. let me know where we are at.
