The bake element stopped working yesterday. I thought it was a burnt out element but when I removed it everything looked good. I checked it with a multi meter and there was continuity and also reads approximately 43 ohms. I checked the voltage between the two element wires with the element removed. It only shows 39 volts when the oven is turned on. The broiler element works fine.

I am thinking it may be the control board. Unfortunately I can only find repair services for this part as it is not available to purchase anywhere. Before I do that do you think it could be anything else causing the problem? The control board seems to work visually. Everything lights up as it should and it lets me select all the functions as usual. When I do select the bake button I can hear a click, click, sound like it's trying to send power to the element.

It sounds like a bad relay on the board. I would check for power at the bake relay. If its still missing at the board, you know its bad.
The contacts inside the relays eventually burn up, but the relay can be replaced.

Thanks. I have sent the board to Circuit Board Medics for repair. It's amazing that this stove is not that old but the part has been discontinued. I did find one on ******** but it was over $500.
