Baking Element on Maytag oven doesn't work after self cleaning cycle. Top units (glass top) work fine and broiling unit works. How do I access the bottom element? It is covered by a metal plate in oven bottom. I've never had a closed one before.

Sorry I do not have an answer. I simply have the same problem as you are experiencing with my KitchenAid Superba. I replaced a broken glass on the lower oven, then ran succesfully the Self cleaning and presto. Now both heating elements do not work. I will track with you to see if we can get help.

Sorry, I haven't found an answer yet either. Reading other posts, I find that this is a common problem in a lot of models. Seems the baking element frequently burns out following a clean cycle. Really frustrating!!! Anyway, there are some helpful posts about checking the baking element for continuity which my husband is going to do today. Sounds like replacing the element is a certainty and possibly a control unit? Perhaps this "self cleaning" option is in need of a new design.
