I replaced the Bottom heating element as it was burnt out. Now the Oven takes too long to heat up. The oven was working fine until the element burned out. Any ideas?????

The element is not getting Red Hot. I have checked all the connections and notice that the wires for the element go through the Circuit Board. What voltage should I have and the element. Yellow and Red/Wht wires?

Have you got 220 volts to the unit?
When that element blew it may have partially popped your breaker. Clock and oven lite runs on 110 volts. I'm not saying your clock isn't bad, the element may very well have taken your clock out, but check that very basic thing before going any further.
