I used oven last night without a problem. Tonight no heat, only the cooktop works. Light on display panel work. I have had an issue with the door switch clicking if you lean on the door. Is this the thermal fuse?

Here are your parts
Model PLEF398CCC

Here is the wiring diagram

Here is the tech sheet

I do not see a thermal cutout in this unit
In most cases the door switch does not shut off the oven elements

I would try other options re: Broil etc.

If they work perhaps all that is wrong is the bake element is burned out.
Unplug the unit, remove the bake element and check it for continuity.
Usually around 10 ohms or so.

No, the broiler does not work either. This seems to be a common problem with this oven. Does this part have to be replaced every 4 years.

Sorry I do not have enough experience with this unit to comment

Is it worth fixing
At approximately $225.00 for the board and $23.00 for a new overlay (you may not need this). It is pricey. So it depends on how much the unit is worth new and what kind of shape it is in and your overall satisfaction with it before it broke.

Hopefully someone experience on this unit will jump in and help advise you
OR
You may want to start a new thread with this exact question.
