8 yr old Whirlpool Accubake electric range. A few days ago, we tried to bake something but the broiler element came on and stayed on. Same in all modes. Tried throwing breaker but no help.

Hello
Welcome to Fixya
My name is Huum,

You need a new top element

You can find the diagrams,schematics, and parts for your range at this site

Please remember to leave a rating before you leave

SOURCE: Broiler element stays on. I had to trip the

a wire in the back of your stove is grounded... open rear panel after unplugging and look for burnt wires going to the element. the wires will be a higher grade than most..
most likely there is no problem with the broil element itself, but the problem could possibly be located in the oven switch (if it is not digital)

SOURCE: When baking in whirlpool accubake electric stove model GR475LXMS only the broiler works not bottom element what could be wrong?

The element could be open or the thermostat for the oven could be stopping power from reaching the element
