Immediately after completely a self cleaning cycle, we experienced a failure with the oven. Neither the top nor bottom heating elements will heat up in either broil or bake mode. There is power to the control panel. I am thinking that the sensor or the thermostat has failed. Any other ideas? How do I remove the thermostat?

As tedious as it may seem I suggest that cleaning the unit by hand is the preferred process. Most failures that I have experienced have occurred just after the clean cycle is completed. There is a lot of stress during self clean and critical components are stressed and are more likely to fail. On two occasions I have had a failure days before family dinners. Usually in preparation for family we had been cleaning the oven. Both the temperature sensor and heating element have failed.
With a free standing oven repairs are a lot easier than with a built in wall oven requiring saw horses to remove and set. In any case plan to clean long before company in the event a repair results.
It does sound like the element may be bad. The control will cycle the bake and broil elements to even the heat in the oven. if the element is out the oven won't heat well.
This sounds like it blew the thermostat on the back of the lower oven. They are inexpensive and easy to replace. You will need to uninstall the unit and remove the back panel to acess. Check it for continuity if none replace. This is a fairly common failure due to the heat of the self cleaning. Here is a link to your part and diagrams are also available there AP3055316
Hello- 'Successfully' sounds like you were forewarned.... During the 'self-clean' cycle a circuit or connection to the upper elements burned out while attempting to turn stuff inside the oven to ash. Since this is a wall oven my recommendation is for service from a good tech in your area. You may have lucked out with a fried connector, but many times control board is damaged beyond repair and must be replaced. Only on-site diagnostics will confirm, and this is a very heavy unit for most owners to safely service. - Remember- Don't use 'self clean'!! Scrape and clean with soapy water and cloth. Turn on oven to 450deg. for 30 min. Much safer. Less costly. Please acknowledge this post if the info is helpful- Have more if needed. Thanks- Ed
We had the same thing happen and now they came and said it was the clock that needs to be replaced. They said that controls the oven. Even though clock is on and working the function for turning on the oven is not
Usually, when an oven won't heat, it's because the bake element is burned out. The bake element is the black, pencil- thick tube at the bottom of the oven. When the oven heats, the element glows red. This element has an expected life-span of several years. It may last for only one; it may last for many more. When the element burns out, you need to replace it.
baked control module for heating elements. if you have a volt meter, check for power when oven on, if no juice its the control element, if you do get juice then its the elements
