Does the clock displaying the "run away" temperature? Check if all the connections are correct, check the resistance of the temperature probe. Thank you. Post the results. Simon.

I then tried to hit the off button and it went back to 350. Still could not turn off. Had to trip breaker. After oven cooled I turned it on and was able to turn it off without it going to full set temp. Are Sears parts tha tunreliable? jjjjj

Try this test: set the oven for 350F and when it'll rich the temperature turn it off. Open the door for a few minutes and restart the oven set for 350F. What temp. will it display and will it stop at 350F? Thank you. Simon. PS. The temperature sensor resistance at room temp. should be approx. 1100ohm.
