I tested continuity on the new element and then on the thermostat and the temp probe. Everything seems fine. Is it the board? And how do I find one? It looks different than than say the MER6555 which is supposed to be a similar model. Thanks in advance.

I could not find one for a BCS unit but it is for all units up to a BAW unit so odds are yours is the same. Yes it could be the board. Looks like it may be obsolete. It would be best to call AppliancePartsPros just to confirm this. There are companies out there that repair obsolete control boards, just Google appliance timer repair Does the broiler (upper element) work. If not then a high limit switch may be open.

I am wondering by what the tech sheet indicated if I tested the temp probe properly, perhaps I may switch those and see if anything happens. Anyhow I will run the diagnostic and let you know what happens. Thanks for the tech sheet!
