The broil element
is the heating element that is found at the top of the oven and produces a very high heat for broiling. If the broil element isn't working, you should first do a visual inspection for signs that the element has blistered or separated. If the element appears normal then you can check for continuity with a multi-meter. Remove power from the appliance before performing this test. Remove the back panel and locate the terminals for the broil element and inspect the terminals and wires for signs of overheating or damage.
If there is no continuity then the element will need to be replaced. If the wires are damaged then they will need to be repaired. If the element is ok then you will need to check the broil circuit to determine the cause. This involves live voltage checks and should only be performed by qualified persons. Components to check include fuses, if the range is equipped, and oven control thermostat or electronic control. Depending on the manufacturer of the element, you will normally read between 19 ohms and 115 ohms
Most modern ovens use an electronic control board
to control the oven functions. These models will use the control board to operate the oven safety valve on a gas range or oven, and the bake and broil elements on an electric range or oven. If there is no power to the igniter circuit, or the element circuits, then you should check the control board to verify that there is power at the appropriate output relay. These are live voltage checks and should be performed by qualified persons only. If there is no output voltage then the control should be replaced.

Your lower element may be burned out. Generally you can firmly grasp and pull it out. Take it to a repair shop and get a replacement unit. Then simply snap it back into the same outlet where you remove the first one. It sound as if you've tried everything else so it must be the unit that is bad.

Hi,
If your electric oven is taking too long to heat or just not heating up right, then check out this tip that will give more detail about your problem.

You either have a bad heating element or you aren't getting power to it. If you are not familiar with electricity, this is not something you should attempt -- you will be working around 220 volts which could easily kill you. If you do know electricity enough to be safe, or have a friend who can help you who does, unplug the range, take the back off, find the element, unhook one of the wires, and check for continuity across the element -- you should have some resistance, but probably less than 10 ohms. if that tests good, you'll need to reconnect it, plug it back in, (this is where the potential for danger is) turn it on, and check for voltage across the two terminals of the element. It should be 210-230 volts. If not, you'll need to figure out why. One other possibility is that one of the fuses or breakers feeding the range is blown/tripped. Make sure that you have 210-230 volts at the outlet as well. Hope this helps. Again, PLEASE be careful.
