How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6010824 / WP74003019 Electric Range Bake Element

Installed a new element. 

I ordered the part, got it quickly, asked a neighbor to fix it. I had him watch the short video which I had already watched, and he repaired it in about 10 minutes. 

I went on AppliancePartsPros.com and typed in the range model number and ordered the new bake element burnner. When it was delivered in just 2 days I shut power off to the range and replaced the burnt out element with the new. This took about 10 mins and works like new. Thank you again for the fast reliable service on the parts. 

We called and ordered a new one. 

I replaced Oven Bake Element. 

The plug ends of the new element were bent slightly, I straightened them slightly with pliers, then it slide right in, in less than 10 minutes. Followed the video directions to replace the oven element, and it went in easily! The problem was one of the old plugs would not release, I finally tapped it with a hammer and screwdriver and it popped off. Should have been less than 10 minutes, needing only a Philips screwdriver, but getting the old plug to break loose took at least 20 minutes. 

I bought a new Bake Element. 

Replaced it 

I ordered the part needed and it came quickly. The part was installed and the oven is operational again 

I assumed it would be the element because, for this, it usually is. Everything else worked. So I ordered a new element, that didn't fix it. I traced the wires and found that one lead of the element went to the transformer and relay board. Part not available on your site. I removed the board and when I turned it over, I found that one of the contacts on the relay had blown out the solder. I cleaned up the lead and the hole in the PCB and then resoldered the lead. Works fine now. BTW, the relay is no longer available either.
