So this is a Maytag Bought from Home Depot (hence the "H" in the model number). Replaced the bake element myself about three years ago after it shorted and cracked on Thanksgiving. Last week, the cleaning lady set it to self clean, and she managed to do some major damage.

When I opened it up, here's what I found:

1. The clock panel was not lighting. (no LED numbers or clock). The 4 burners worked fine, but no oven function. It would lightly click when the power was turned on.

2. I replaced the clock with this: this part from APP.com

It worked but I found I had further damage down below, bake would not work and blew the breaker. So I took off back and removed element and found burnt insultation on the two leads going to the bake element which was causing shorting. I replaced these leads with new appliance grade, heatproof wire, new connectors, and tested with a voltmeter. On power-on, when the clock turns on the oven, I get 240-244V at the bake element.

I reinstall everything, turn on Bake, element glows red, everything holds steady, no shorting and element appears to be cycling on and off for first 10 minutes of heating.

However, after about 10 minutes, I notice element is spending more time off than on (red). Oven is struggling, First it can't get above 300. I turn off and reset, it gets to about 400 this time (thermo is set to 500).

It now appears the burner is not staying on long enough, and its cycling on and seems to be shutting right off, I hear 2 clicks from the control panel within about 4 seconds of each other, and the burner stays off and the oven starts cooling down. Burners work fine still.

So then I notice this part on APP: It's 4x the price of the other, but the model number matches exactly to what I'm replacing. Could it be I have the wrong part?

Or does it sound like a bad bake element or a faulty thermostat?
