Here are your parts Parts for KERS807SSS0 - AppliancePartsPros.comSee the attachment for the tech sheet You seem to be missing the last digit so will have to choose the correct unit from the Matching Model Numbers section. I am assuming that everything looks normal on the control panel. Have you tried Full Broil and Center Broil ? If neither work then odds are that the control board is bad. You could unplug the unit and check the broil elements with a meter. The outer should be around 40 ohms. The center shuold be around 30 ohms. |

If they failed the continuity test then they need replacing even if there is another problem in the unit.
You could check the bake element just to be sure you have not made a reading error.

Probably not but you may not have noticed that one element was burned ut and then the other one burned out later. |

The oven has been taking a long time to heat up recently and things dont seem to be cooked as they should, so maybe one did fail and I didnt realize it then the other went too and now im in the situation Im in now. Thanks for your help! I will repost results when I get the new one installed... Merry Xmas
