Turned oven on started to warm, followed by a loud humming noise ( sounded like a short) loud pop and smoke. What is the problem and is this something I can fix? Thanks Jon
You may have a serious electrical problem. Or you may need a new element.
Please provide more info as to the source/location of the smoke.

Please be sure to unplug the unit from electricity before attempting repairs!
This link shows the parts list for (I believe) your oven. The lower element is user replaceable, please use caution! It is number 6, item PS1013226. Please see this link for further info, and info from other DIY's that replaced this part, and had similar problems!
This part could be located at your local appliance store also!
Let me know if you need more help!

Around 40 bucks US$.
Yes, this is a relatively easy fix....
PLEASE BE SURE TO UNPLUG THE OVEN!
Are we sure that the other element is working? Probably not the problem, but might be easiest to check.

It sounds like the magnetron may have
either failed or is not being supplied with the extremely high
voltage required to run it.
Make sure the !!!!capacitor is
discharged!!!!! before attempting any sort of repair.
Check
the door interlock switches first then the high voltage diode with
either an AVO model 8 on high resistance range for short circuit, the
capacitor can fail and go short circuit, the feed fuse on the primary
of the high voltage transformer and then finally, the magnetron is
best checked by substitution.
Hope that helps.

Smoke came from the bottom near the lower element. The fan still works on the oven and the broil element still works fine. Clock, light still working fine. On bake the oven will only heat to 235. thanks Jon
I'm pretty handy is this an easy fix and what would be the cost of a new element. Thanks Jon
Element was bad. Put new element in and still will not go over 300 degrees. We thing something shorted out ( temp sensor or the board itself, electronic key pad for temp and time. Any ideas. Thanks Jon
