I checked to make sure it was getting voltage and when the oven is on I am reading 120v on each spade connector. So the only thing I couldn't find anything on was the crackling so I ordered a replacement element. I put it in today and it didn't fix the thing. I'm all out of ideas at this point.

If I follow the spades back to the first relay or whatever I find will that be the control? I did this when I had the back off and the wires went into one of thesehttp://www.mouser.com/Se...skTvQN/e5J1EOhXCA%3D%3D.
