Great forum here. Broil element in boss's oven is red on Broil setting. Baking element is red when on Bake setting. Temp sensor 1088 Ohms. Oven took too long to get up to requested temp. Also would not heat above 325 degrees. Installed new clock/control. Now obtain room temp to 400 degrees in 17 minutes. 425 in 30 minutes. The Boss says this is OK. My question is: on this model of Frigidaire, should the broil element be "helping" during the preheat? All the other forums I have checked say broil elements on their brand of oven should help, but mine never turns red during preheat, although it is bright red during Broil cycle. Can anyone tell me specifically whether or not the upper element should "help" during preheat on this model? If it is supposed to assist in preheat, can anyone tell me what else to test/repair/replace? Thanks.
