That's why the power to the thermostat and the indicator lights is coming through the latch switch. If the lower oven drawer does not work alone and you already replaced the thermostat then the next step is to replace the latch assembly (the latch switch does not come separate). The instructions on how to remove it you can find in the attached mini-manual. - The latch assembly Part number: WB02K10137 Gene.

I manually closed the micro-switch and the lower oven came to life again. I will order a new latch assembly. Thank you again.
