Falling broil element
Yes, there should be a Z shaped clip in the center of the element's supporting crossbar at the front of the oven. There is 1 screw that goes into the roof of the oven. The clip and screw don't seem to have a part number independently from the broil element. The best resolution depends a bit on your circumstances. If the Z shaped clip is still screwed to the roof, just unscrew it, push the elemet up and attach. If the clip is missing, you can buy a new element for $75 or so, you can ask if the local appliance repair people have anything left over, or you can make one from almost a scrap of anything made of sheet steel. If you have to buy something from the harware store, a steel outlet box cover plate is inexpensive and it already has a screw hole, just cut and bend it. You'll need an appropriate (very short, 1/2") pan head #8 or #6 sheet metal screw from any harware store. I don't reall which, but they're only 5 cents, buy one of each..
