Tested element and ohms showed to be 18 ohms. Is the element still good? If it isn't the element, what could the problem be? Upper element works.

Either the bake relay contacts are shot or the electronics on the board are not closing the relay when they should. I would unplug the unit and check the wiring from the board to the element just to be sure it is OK. I am assuming that the oven either never comes ready of takes a very long time to come ready due to only the broil element running.
