Bake element does not heat up Brand: Kenmore Model Number: 911.4108590 Age: 5 - 10 years A couple of weeks ago the bake element in my oven cracked and caused some sparking and smoke in the oven. I purchased a new element, but it does not heat up. So, I checked the oven wiring and the continuity of the new element. Both fine. I pulled out the oven and began testing the components. One limit switch showed to be open the other closed. I replaced the open switch. Still no heat from the element. I am getting voltage at the element. I think that the only other possibility could be the oven control, but due to the cost, I am trying to make sure there are no other options I might have overlooked. Also the control seems to work as it did before. There are no error messages, etc. Thanks for any advice you can give.
