Electric smoothtop ranges cycle their elements by design, so an element that pulses at a high setting is usually normal control behaviour rather than a fault. A genuinely failed element does not glow at all, or it glows unevenly with a visible break.
An oven that undershoots its set point is generally the bake element, the oven sensor or the control relay. Let the oven cool fully, and if the door is still locked after a self-clean cycle, wait for the cool-down to finish before assuming the lock motor has failed. Self-clean heat is intense, so keep the kitchen ventilated and the oven empty.
