The element may show continuity (should be very low ohms) however when he element heats up it will open and no longer heat, when it gets cool enough it will heat again and cycle will repeat. I would look at high limit switch while I had it apart. The only true test to verify element is not heating is using a clamp on current meter.

Wynco, first thing I'd check is whether or not you are getting the 220 volts the unit needs. Find the circuit breaker and turn it off and then back on. This should be a dual or linked breaker. The breakers do corrode and wear out and may need to be replaced.

Sir, I think the top oelement is for broiling ONLY. It should not turn on when baking. The clicking may be the oven heating up.
How far apart were the oven temp instrument and the digital?
Don't expect them to match...they are inaccurate.
1. Heat water until it boils. Place digital therm in boiling water until it comes up to 212deg. If it is not at 212 in boiling water, record the error.(this gives a rough calibration to the digital)
2 Turn on oven, set to 350 deg, place digital therm on rack. Wait until oven reaches 350 (on stove) and read the digital. Note the difference between the two
SOURCE: self-clean not cleaning
I was wrong (I think). the baking element probably was burnt out as the repairman said. He replaced it and I thought selfclean still wasn't working. In fact, I think I just had to give the self-clean function more time. Also, I was judging by smell. We have become used to a bad odor during self clean which was missing when it was broken and still missing after the repair. Bottom line, the oven was clean after the baking element was replaced, sans smell.

Thanks a million, solved the problem like a charm. For those that can't find it, it is on the left side orf the OVEN, not the stove. Once you open the door, you'll find it on the frame's upper left side corner, can't miss it. Good luck
