Electric oven was not heating up
I read the help section and it said that the element was likely to be the problem (84%) and the fuse had a 14% chance to be the problem so I purchased both. After watching the video I tried the element first and that's what it was so I returned the fuse, Thanks for the help and video.
The company said it would cost me $698 to repair. I had a 2 year warranty and that was 2 months out of date.
Again thanks for the help.

The Oven Baking element burned out from 5 years of use.
The You Tube video for replacing the Element was very useful. Let me know exactly how to proceed - it was easy.

Bake element not working
I pulled the range out from the wall, then unplugged it from the wall outlet. I removed the oven door & set it aside. Removed the screws covering the rear wiring shield, then disconnected the 2 leads from the bake element. Unscrewed the screws holding the oven floor pan, then unscrewed the screws holding in the original element. Replaced it, screwed everything back together, and pushed the oven back against the wall. Took me about 30 minutes, and now the oven works as well as it did when we first bought it.

The burner would operate at full power even with set to low.
The repair was successful. I know the dual element burner was good because it operated at full heat. After installing the dual element control switch, the burner was operating as expected with no further issues. After the back was removed, the dual element control switch was easy to access. After removal of the two Philips screws (and the knob), it's easy to pull out the switch to pry off the two cable harnesses (which are keyed). Removal of the cable harnesses was the hardest part because they come off very hard. I used a flat blade screwdriver to help pry off the harness. Installation of the new dual element control switch was very fast/easy, along with the back cover.

Oven Temp inaccurate
I watched the repair video on this site and another on YouTube before I started. The rear panel has a different shape and two additional screws on the bottom edge. The power clip was easy to manipulate.
This was an easy fix for a seventy year-old like me!
