I replaced the baking element in my oven recently but it still doesn't work. The broiler works and so does all the cooking elements on the top of the range. What can possibly be the problem? Thanks Linda

Here are your parts
Replacement parts for FRIGIDAIRE FEF322WHSA | AppliancePartsPros.com

Here is the wiring diagram

I would say that the The selector switch is the most likely culprit. Item 13 in Section 1 since the broil element work and I assume that the thermostat does control it. Could also be that a wire has burned off.

One way to check it would be to unplug the unit.
Set it to bake and check the continuity of the switch.
Contacts 1 to 3 should be 0 ohms.
If OK
Check the wires going to the element.

If you do not own a meter, I would suggest you purchase a one. You can get a decent digital multimeter for under $20.00. You do not need fancy though it is nice if the leads are a couple feet long.
If it saves ordering one unnecessary part it has paid for itself and you end up owning a useful tool.
Most places will not let you return electrical parts so if you order it, you own it.
A couple things to watch when measuring ohms and continuity
1. Always remove power from the machine otherwise you could blow your meter.
2. Always disconnect at least one side of any device you are checking. This eliminates the possibility of measuring an alternate/parallel circuit path.
3. When checking for closed contacts and continuity use the lowest scale (Usually 200 ohms). Then try higher scales. This scale is 0 to 200 ohms so if the device you are measuring is 300 ohms this scale would show an open circuit which it is not, you are just measuring outside the scale's dynamic range.

There is a good STICKY at the start of this forum about it's use.
