Upon opening the oven door I found the inside of the oven covered in white powder. After it cooled down i removed lower cover and found thr bake element blown apart in 3 pieces. Ok, order new part and 2 days later got it and installed it. Turned on oven to check my handy work and get some brownie points and oven would only heat to 265. Damm,this dosen't look good. Back into the oven checked ohms on new element(good) checked high limit switch(good) checked circuit breaker and 125v on both legs. What next? ERC. Any help would be great.:D Thanks Brad

I am assuming that the oven never comes ready. If it does then you may want to check the oven sensor before getting a control board. Also when you checked hi-limit did you remove the wire to one side of it. This ensures that you do not read an alternate/parallel circuit path. Since you have done a lot of troubleshooting you may want to consider ordering from AppliancePartsPros as they will allow you to return the board if it does not fix your problem. See their return policy. PS: I do not work for them but have seen a number of compliments about their service on this forum.
