Jenn Air SVE47100B was in the house when we bought it two years ago. On Christmas day when when we were cooking the ham we heard a pop. The clock and digital control was off and the bake element looked as though it was arcing from near the back (not the connections or against the wall, but along the rear section of the actual element). The stove top burners were still operable. We unplugged it and the arcing stopped on the bake element, but the element was broken. I replaced the bake element and the clock control (part number 71002331) with new parts from a local supplier. It all fits back together (did lots of surfing and phoning). Put the power back on and the clock comes on, but when I turn on the bake or the broil, the elements in the oven don't get hot. The control unit will click as though it is trying to heat, and the temperature indicator doesn't rise above 100 degrees, the lowest number that it can register (as soon as you press "bake," it automatically registers "100" regardless of the temperature until it gets above 100 degrees). All connections appear to be tight. I replaced one of the connectors on the red wire that connects into E1 L2 plug. There were some burn marks on that connector and wire as well as the E7 L2 connector on the old clock component. When I activate the broil, the blower comes on, however when the bake is on the fan does not come on when I flip the switch.

Thanks. The problem was the high limit switch that is on the right side between the burner elements and the top of the oven. It was toasted. Bought a new one for about $7.35. Works like a charm now.
I have the same problem, except my temperature display will register 000. The BAKE or BROIL display flashes for about 30 seconds then goes off.It just never heats. The elements check out ok.
How do I access this "high limit ". Do I have to remove the entire top of the range to see the top of the oven ?
Some times a company changes vendors for the controls and connections change location. But does the wiring diagram indicate a relay board in the back of range. It could be damaged form the element short
