Is this correct? Remove the element and measure it with a meter. Should be around 20 ohms. Could be you got a bad element. if OK Unplug the unit and remove the back, check that all the wires from the element to the control board are good. if OK You probably need a new control board

I was able to check the broil element with a multimeter and got a reading of 18.7 to low 19's, mostly 18.8. the wiring looks ok. I took out the control board and that all looks ok. Is there a fuse somewhere there? I didn't see one. Since I am not an electrician and not very familiar with using the meter not sure how to test and not familiar with symbols on the schematic.

Item 3 in the Cabinet section. It should be attached to the back of the oven case. You may want to check it unless you have the wiring diagram that came with the unit and it exactly matches the one I found online. Sometimes they update tech sheets and units without noting the changes made. If the cutoff is OK and the wiring is OK all that is left is the control board
