There will be two black wires connected to one side of the part and a single black wire connected to the other side. If the plastic part of the thermostat is melted, that is your problem. Let me know what you find.

We have had the oven for only a few years and have not had any previous trouble with it. Your comments will be greatly appreciated. Today I took the cover off and found that the black plastic part of the thermostat located on top of the unit had melted. Don't know why this would happen. When I removed the food, the inside of the oven did not feel like it had overheated. Does anyone have any thought on this or have you experienced this problem?
