isherwood: Same oven as prior question, but new issue.
In bake mode, the broil and bake elements get warm. Neither element gets hot. In broil mode, neither element gets warm.
The cycle lamp is on in each mode. The controller terminals show proper continuity across all terminals in all modes.
The oven is a Hotpoint RK38T. The controller is model WB22X5134. All electrical and mechanical, no electronic components
I would appreciate comments on the cause and how to fix this issue.
New data: The voltage across the thermostat terminals shows 224 volts in broil mode. I was expecting 110 volts because line 1 is not connected to the thermostat in broil mode.

First I am looking at your other post - thanks isherwood for linking , however you should have linked to it, to make it easier to read it..
You actually have a very similar issue and it could all be the same.
1: Did you check your range outlet for proper voltage. You should have 110V on both phases to Neutral and if so equipped to ground.
2: Your elements could be broken at the heating element connection. Generally there is a screw type connection with a nut. Sometimes they are also insulated with a compound at these connections / pass throughs. The possibility is they could be cracked or broken completely - WHEN you have the oven UNPLUGGED and off - give a slight tug on the wires attached see if anything is loosey goosey or wiggly.
What voltage do you measure across the elements in each mode ?
