Possible Causes

Shorted oven temperature sensor, Stuck bake or broil relay on EOC, Shorted wiring between sensor and EOC

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Immediate safety: If the oven is overheating or will not shut off, turn off the breaker immediately. Do not leave the appliance unattended.

Steps to check:

  • Test sensor: With power off, remove the rear panel, disconnect the oven sensor, and measure resistance at room temperature (~1050–1100 Ω). Replace if out of range.
  • Inspect wiring: Check the sensor harness for melted insulation or shorts to the metal chassis.
  • Check EOC relays: If the oven heats with the sensor disconnected or when the control is off, the bake or broil relay on the EOC is likely welded closed. Replace the EOC.

Warning: Do not attempt to use the oven until the cause of runaway heating is corrected; this is a serious fire risk.
