Possible Causes

Open lower oven sensor, shorted lower oven sensor, damaged lower sensor harness, loose connector at control

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker.

Locate lower sensor: Access the rear of the range and identify the lower oven sensor harness.
Measure resistance: Disconnect and test the sensor with a multimeter. Replace if not near 1080 Ω at room temperature.
Check harness: Inspect and test continuity of the wiring from sensor to control. Repair or replace if damaged.
Replace control if needed: If all wiring and sensor are good, replace the lower oven control board or combined EOC.
