Longer term oven repair report.

The only major issue is that the stove top gets super hot now, almost to
the point of burning your hands should you touch it, even with just the
bake element on at 450 degrees F.

I don't remember the stove top getting that hot before so I'm wondering if
the new broiler element is somehow causing the bake element to heat up more
than it did before.

Or maybe the "thermostat" (where is it?) is cooked and it's telling the
bake element to heat up too much which might be what broke the broil
element in the first place.

I dont' think the oven wall insulation is still wet nor that the fire
extinguisher powder is causing the oven range top to be too hot, do you?

Anyone ever have a problem with the oven stove top being too hot?
