The broiler works but the oven is cold even after 10 minutes of preheating. What do you think it is and can a average person fix or replace the part ? Thanks for any help r guidence. Roy

It could have gone bad without any visible signs, or there may be a bulge or a discoloratin on part of it. It is easy to change the element, usually a couple of screws holding it on the back of the oven, pull it out and plug in the replacement element.
