First diagnostic step
Check sensor connection, then measure sensor resistance (1080 ohms at 70°F, add 2 ohms per degree). If resistance is not valid, replace sensor. If sensor resistance and connections are good, oven cavity temperature may have exceeded safe level: check for welded-closed relays on the control.
