Done a lot of reading on this board, problem is still not resolved. Whirlpool Model gjp84902, oven bake element stopped working. Removed original element, found pitted, measured no resistance. Replaced with new element, resistance measured (can’t quite remember value, but it was either 28 Ohms or 40 Ohms I think). With oven on, past pre-heat (broiler element is OK), measured voltage between each terminal and ground = 100 V-AC. Voltage between the 2 terminals however, measured 0 V. Can’t find a breaker/fuse on wiring diagram for bake element, only found for 2 electrical outlets. Not sure what to do next, is it the relay? If it is the relay, can someone post a picture of it?

I have the same issue. Have you figured it out yet???

Usually if they have continuity they are OK. Though a 40 ohm reading would be a 1440 watt element which seems low.

Could have been just ghost voltage but 100 volts does seem high for a ghost.

The bake relay is probably on the control board. The black boxes are the relays. You have to replace the board as the relays are not readilly available.

Hopefully someone with more info on this unit will jump in and help!![/quote]
I Have replaced the broken lower element also and still found an issue on the timer board. It looks like a short on the back of the P2-4 terminal. Which is the relay for the lower element( the SWITCH). New timer board is $300 plus on top of the cost of the lower element replacement. I would say the lower element finally gave and as a result it eventually fried the P2-4 terminal/relay connection. I wonder if this is gonna happen every 5 to 7 years of use???
