Oven won't heat after self cleaning cycle
The extreme heat of a self-cleaning cycle causes the oven to shut down or fail to produce warmth during bake and broil modes, even when the display panel and preheat indicators turn on. Replacing standard components like the thermal fuse or temperature sensor often leaves the issue unresolved, leaving the appliance completely unable to cook.
