Kenmore Elite 790.96633701 takes forever to reach operating temperature. I suspect because it is only using the broiling and convection elements for heating.

1. Checked voltage at the Electronic Oven Control unit and got 220v for the broiler between L2 OUT and BROIL. Got 0v between L2 OUT and BAKE. Got 120v between L1 and L2 OUT. Got 120v between L2 IN and L2 OUT.

2. Checked continuity for the baking element and it was about 16 ohms. Seems fine.

Any help appreciated! Thank you.
