My Oven Isn't Heating Up Past 200 Degrees F.
My Whirlpool Range Model #RF362LXSB isn't heating up past 200 degrees F. I was assuming I needed a new baking element but how can I tell if that will take care of the problem?

When the bake element is heating properly, it glows red hot. If the element does not glow red, this indicates that the element is not heating. Often, if the heating element has burned out, it will be visibly damaged. Inspect the heating element for holes or blisters. To determine if the bake element has burned out, use a multimeter to test the element for continuity. If the bake element does not have continuity, replace it.
