From what I've read, it may either be the high-limit/temp thermostat or the heating element. Are the high-limit thermostat and high-temp thermostat the same thing? Some sites seem to have the same item with different names. How can I confirm which is the issue? thanks.

I also tested the thermostat by placing it on a griddle.. when it heated up to about 240 degrees, the circuit opened so it seems to be working as well. What else could be the problem? thanks

Using a meter check from P6 (White/Red) on the control board to White/Violet on the door switch. If you measure the heater resistance ( about 25 ohms) then odds are that it is a control board problem. File Attachment(s): DU920.pdf (651kb) downloaded 5 time(s).
