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.

“The next evening I tried to preheat the oven and it started preheating with the “PRE” on display but then after a minute or two just shut off and no heat was detectable inside on either the top or bottom element.”source ↗

“When broil is activated it displays 500F on the display but no heat can be detected. When bake is activated it just displays the PRE and shuts off after a minute or two.”source ↗
