Faulty Oven thermostat
It could be that the heating element has broken. Also if it overheated,
something else may have been damaged such as the insulation on wiring.
If it is less expensive to repair than replace, I would have it repaired.
Might want to ask the repair person to inspect the wiring to be sure all is
ok.
Also repair warranties only cover the part which was replaced. If you have a
thermostat go out one week then a heating element the next week, the heating
element would not be covered. (Like with a car. If you get new tires and
later have engine trouble, the tire warranty would not cover the engine
trouble.)
