The oven heating element melted down. I ordered a new one and replaced it but it will not heat. the broiler works as does the stove top, clock etc.

When the original element melted down, is there another part that I might also need to replace or is it possible that the "new element" is defective?

Is there a way to test this?

There is something under the cooktop that is labeled a switch-snap acting...is this the same as a thermostat and could it have blown when the original element went?

Is there a diagnostic process to go thru to figure this out...can I take the broiler connections and put them on the oven element to see if it heats?

Thanks

Jeff

Closing this thread...when the bake coil blew it melted the solder on the relay board so while the relay was clicking there was not link to the bake element. Replacing the relay board fixed it. Thanks for all your help!
