Pics would help! Don't understand what you mean about a bottom oven! Ovens would be side by side... Check to make sure knob is set to Manual.. | ||

Mid 1950s Frigidaire Maybe it's the top heating element in the oven that has stopped working. If the elements are open coil nichrome, there's likely a break in the top one. It shouldn't be a big deal to pull out the element and examine it. You can have a new one made, but you'd have to bring the old one in to an appliance parts retailer to match it up. A replacement would likely be the radiant tube type instead of the open coil. If you want to keep things original, you could buy some coiled nichrome with the proper specs and weave it through the insulators yourself.
The overheating issue is probably a bad thermostat. Others here will have to advise on repair or replacement options for that.

Frigidaire wonder oven
It sounds like you have at least one bad oven thermostat.
You should be able to use the other oven thermostat was the upper oven or the complete oven that worked properly before. You have to move the bake element up and put a separator in to use it has two ovens or you can remove the separator and use it as one larger oven do you have the instructions for the stove it’s a little bit confusing.

Canadian model Frigidaire Does this range have fuses for the oven elements? If so, maybe one or more are blown or loose. | ||
