The upper oven works fine. The lower oven won't

Of course, the bottom over didn't work on Xmas day-- when we needed it most. But, your solution , which took about 15 minutes total, worked perfectly.
While I'm not going to join Fixya, I did want to give you a very appreciative "Thanks" Of course, the bottom over didn't work on Xmas day-- when we needed it most.

To the best of my knowledge, the boards are located in such a way that it is virtually impossible to meter the electronics. Most technicians just change out the board.

I completely understand your thoughts. I'm the same way. I don't like changing out a board w/o knowing what was wrong with it. But, in today's world with more and more dense circuitry, more circuits are located on one FRU(field replaceable unit). I'm still pretty much old school when it comes to electronics. I'd rather change a component than a board. But, what I've found is that unless you have access to the electronics supply market, many times you won't be able to (1) identify the make and model of the component and (2) find the exact replacement from a supplier. You also have to consider labor costs. Even your own personal time isn't free. Takes a lot of adapting to a throw away world. Unless something is under warranty, detailed diagnosis and repair can be expensive and at times more costly than buying new. Laptops, DVD players are perfect examples.
