At one time an electric stove's or range's had a whole row of fuses to protect just about all power devices on the unit.
For a while I have noticed when called on by friends or relatives to repair devices such such as these that there is no longer any individual protection in these units apart from the 30amp service breaker in the panel.
The result is that the weakest link carries the brunt of any element failure etc, and this link usually being a $2.00 PCCT relay on the control board, who's replacement cost is typically >$200.00 to the unsuspecting!!
