First step from the service manual

Check for elements shorted to ground (P1-1 to P6-3, P1-4 to P6-3, P3-1 to P6-3), check for shorted relays, then check oven temperature sensor at P10-3 to P10-4 (1000-1200 ohms at 77°F).

The complete diagnostic procedure includes additional test steps, resistance specifications, wiring diagram references, and component test points.

Over temperature during cooking

From Tech Sheet W15409647, p.19:

1.Check for elements shorted to ground (P1-1 to P6-3, P1-4 to P6-3, P3-1 to P6-3), check for shorted relays, then check oven temperature sensor at P10-3 to P10-4 (1000-1200 ohms at 77°F).

2.Disconnect the sensor and measure resistance at the sensor body. Expected: 10 kΩ to 12 kΩ at 77°F (25°C).

3.Check the sensor harness for opens and shorts. Back-probe the sensor pins at the control board connector; a reading outside 5 kΩ to 50 kΩ indicates a failed sensor.
