Whirlpool oven that does not broil

Wow Catriver, so that is what that little thingy is, a fuse!! I had read in other forums about a fuse, but I didnt see what looked like a normal fuse anywhere on the back of the range, so I assumed that didnt apply to me.
Continutity test to both cables as you mentioned yielded no beep or reading on my meter. Touching both sides of that fuse also yielded no beep. Therefore, it appears that you are correct, and that fuse is the culprit.

Does it make sense that the oven DOES bake, and it just doesnt broil? Wouldn't this faulty fuse knockout both bake AND broil? The tech sheet mentions that the fuse opens at 363 F.

So, do i go ahead and get another one of these?
Thanks again for the quick response. We are dying to bake something!!! Wow Catriver, so that is what that little thingy is, a fuse!!

I have an electric range by Kenmore. @ weeks ago my tenant called me and said that they had to call the fire dept. because the house filled with smoke. Come to find out the bake element was blown,. I ordered a new one and put it in. Odly enough I have 120 on both side of the element and 120 on both sides of the broil element but it doesnt heat up. Any ideas?

When I turn my oven on bake, the only element that comes on is the top (Broil) element. When this first happened the oven door locked also. When I turn my oven on bake, the only element that comes on is the top (Broil) element. When this first happened the oven door locked also.
