I have a kenmore 911.93201891 electric oven..it about ten years old...the bottom heating element does not turn on. i replaced it with a new one and it still doesn't work.
If the new element is good then the next thing to check is the selector knob (COOK/BROIL) and the thermostat for the oven.
To check the thermostat, turn the selector to BROIL and turn the thermostat up until the top element begins to heat. Let it heat up a little then turn the thermostat down until it clicks off. If this works then your thermostat is working.
The problem then must be your selector control. Remove and replace (turn power off at circuit breaker box first!).
Of course, if the thermostat won't turn on the upper element either then it must be the thermostat.
There is a possibility also that a loose/broken/burned wire is causing the problem. You should check for this when you open up the control panel (after turning off the circuit breaker!).
Good luck!
