Bottom filament on bake not working but broil and

Quite normal...top element is for grill/broil only. Bottom element is for bake only. If the grill element were to come on during baking a cake it'd burn the top of your cake to a crisp.
Some grill/broil elements cook at 500-700 degrees.

hope this helps

Usually on bake only the bottom element is used. Without a make and model number the only thing I could suggest is that the icon is confusing.

Look for any burned or discoloration on the bottom bake element. Did you try the broil on the lower oven? If neither is working you may have a board or touchpad issue.

NOPE!

1. Broil element does not have welded-on legs and will touch the bottom of oven, overheating itself and will end up the same way your bake element did; besides, the bottom of the oven will corrode pretty quick
   
2. Many ovens use both elements during bake cycle
3. self clean cycle uses broil element
4. The bake and broil elements typically have different mounting brackets and screw holes ate in different places
   
5. you'd have to cover the hole, left after removing the broil element, and insulate the wires, which went to broil element
6. the ends, protruding behind the mounting bracket may have different length and different connectors. you may end up shorting the wiring to the casing, which may in turn destroy the control board if there is one
7. Bake elements usually cost only $40-$60. No jury rigging required.

Hope this helps ;)
Good luck!

i just moved and our stove in the new place doesnt bake things right. it seems that the top coil doesnt come on. its very difficult to bake anything. seems to come up to temp for pre heating, but only the bottom coil comes on. If you put it on broil, then the top coil gets hot. that works fine. tired of burning pizzas and biscuits. can anyone help with a cheap fix? dont have alot of cash.

remove heating element an check with ohm meter. pretty simple really.

Look on the control panel for an icon that looks like a padlock near one of the buttons. Hold that button down until it beeps and that should unlock the panel.

After you hit the function you want...bake or broil...click the up arrow.  That should give you the default temp of 350 and the unit should light.  Now adjust to the temp you want.
