What's Happening
The oven temperature sensor has an open circuit — the sensor or its wiring is disconnected. The oven won't heat because it can't monitor temperature at all.
How to Fix It
Turn off at the breaker. Check the sensor probe connection at the rear of the oven cavity — it may have come loose. If secure, test the sensor with a multimeter (~1,080 ohms at room temp). If it reads infinite (open), replace the sensor.
