Likely Causes
  1. Oven temperature sensor is reading incorrectly low, causing the control to keep the element on
  2. Bake or broil relay on the control board is stuck closed, continuously powering the element
  3. Oven door was left open during a self-clean cycle allowing heat to build unevenly
  4. Control board has lost the ability to regulate temperature
How to Fix It
1
Immediately turn off the oven and disconnect power at the breaker to stop heating
2
Allow the oven to cool completely before attempting any inspection
3
Test the oven temperature sensor for proper resistance (approximately 1080 ohms at room temperature for most GE ovens)
4
If the sensor is within spec, the control board bake or broil relay may be stuck; inspect the board for relay damage
5
Replace the control board if the relay is confirmed stuck
