Oven turning on by itself

The reference to Schott is the maker of the ceramic glass. The label identifying which brand and model number will be located on the base of the cooktop.

If the cooktop itself randomly locks itself, it would most likely be related to the touch panel and the sensor plate that would require replacement.

The lock would be the child lock, and usually holding down the key symbols for a period of 5 secs should remove the lock.

Sounds like the heating/starter element went out. This item is very delicate and will break if touched. They are used on almost all newer gas appliances. It takes about 3 minutes to check. Turn the oven on and look down near the burners with all of the lights in the room out. You should see a glow for a while, then it will click off for a while and then come back on. If not, then turn off the oven and get a flashlight and look for the starter element to see if it is broken. It is about one inch wide, two inches long, and 1/4 inch thick. If you do get a glow then this is good news, the element is not broken. However, the element operates a thermostatic switch which operates the gas valve. This switch may be broken. The switch and the starter element usually come out together when removed.

Hi rlimaye1,

The ignition switches probably got wet.

hi my name is mark, yes most manual gas valves can be disassembled and lubed. you will need gas valve grease. remember a little goes a long way and shut off the gas to the unit before disassembly.
