Change the heater element. Or better, get another oven.
I don't understand how it's legal to sell unearthed oven? Heater element is a hollow tube with resistive wire going trough. Faults do happen.

I think you got it NAILED
I filed down the big prong plug to flip it
and now get no volts when off [unfliped it was 118 volts when off]
and get no volts on the frame in convection mode running
but 70 volts running on the broiler mode [unfliped it was 40 volts]
really do NOT UNDERSTAND this as I thought A/C went both ways
so I hope it will work in convection mode without shocking
until I can find a replacement unit
I removed the nob from the switch so it will not shock now
we have a outside gas grill so broiling can be done on that
lots of smaller counter top convection ovens out there BUT no bigger 1.5 to 2.0 cft inside sized ones
