Model WFE540H0ES1. Bake element burned out, broke clean through while cooking, broiler not working either, though it looks fine. When I did electrical test the thermal fuse and thermometer were fine. I only got 108V at the terminals for the bake element - thought that should be 240V. Replaced element - still no heat, and now no voltage at bake element. The control board clicks properly when the bake mode is engaged. Despite lack of burn marks or other signs of damage is the board bad? I can't believe both parts failed simultaneously unless one can take out the other. Any ideas? I hate to buy a non-returnable, very expensive control board for nothing.

The main control can be tested during a bake cycle from connection 4 pin 3 (red wire with white stripe) to the red wire at connection 2 pin 7 (red wire) for voltage. If there is not 240VAC during the bake cycle and the bake element has not heated at all, the control has failed.

Thanks, will check tomorrow when there! But still, do they fail together? The bake element was clearly destroyed, open circuit, burned to a crisp in three places and fell apart when taken out.

The circuit board is dead. Thanks again.
