I have a Kenmore range 790.45589901 that neither the bake or broil elements come on but the stove eyes do work. I've checked that there are two lines of 120v coming into the back. I checked both elements for continuity and they seemed okay. I got a reading of 1085ohms from the temp sensor, which I believe is correct. I looked to check the thermal fuse but it doesn't seem to have one(the mounting spot for it is empty, I guess whoever put this one together skipped that step). Something I noticed is that when I turn on bake or broil the cooling fan will come on immediately. Neither my mother or I think it did this before. We both seem to remember it taking a bit before the fan would activate, but it's not something we really would have payed much attention to so we could be mistaken. Does anyone know if a faulty cooling fan thermostat would affect the bake and broil elements?
If anyone has any ideas on what I could look at, I'd really appreciate the help.
