Hi and welcome to FixYa, I am Kelly
This sounds as if you have lost half of the power to your Oven. It can be from a partially tripped main Circuit Breaker for the Oven or an internal wiring problem of a burned wire or terminal. It can also be the range control itself. but I doubt that since you said the burners also do not work (depending on model) If you have separate burner controls definatly NOT the range control.
If you pass your model number we can better help you. The fact that the lower element is only reaching 140 degrees is pretty much indicating that your oven is operating on 110V vs 220V. The causes again are input power, oven wiring or the range control.
Reset the Oven CB and check BOTH ends of the range cord (if you have one) for signs of hot terminals. For a direct connection look closely at the terminal board where the house wiring connected to the oven.
With a MODEL number I can look at manuals and diagrams to better assist you. Please pass that complete MODEL number in any future responses. Most any future response I provide after I get a MODEL number will involve using a meter and opening the oven to troubleshoot.
Thanks for choosing FixYa,

I just talked with my wife and she stated she had issues with the stove top, she had to put the burners on high to make them work then all of sudden they stopped working. Is there a safety feature that the stove has; that will cut the stove top off if the oven isn't working for what ever reason?
I really believe you have a wiring problem. You burner controls are seperate form the oven control and when your wife put the burnes on HIGH and then they also quit is the sign of a burned contact wire or terminal.
The wiring diagram is here. See for yourself.
