F2 Error on Display
The repair was very easy to do. Our oven was showing the F2 error code, which is associated with an over-temperature fault. Upon inspection, the oven was warm, but definitely not beyond the temperature threshold. I researched the issue and found this temperature sensor.
Swapping the sensor was extremely easy. You take off the back panel of the oven, unhook a single wiring harness, and undo some bolts inside the oven, which allows you to pull off the old sensor. Simply hook up the new sensor to the harness, pull everything back through, replace the fasteners, and you're good to go.

Oven Temp. went too high and the door locked. Burnt the food
This temperature sensor is very easy to replace. There are two screws inside the oven in the top middle of the back of the oven. Take these off. on the back of the stove there is a metal plate with 5 screws I believe. Take these off with a nut driver. Then you will see a white connector coming from the spot where you took the other screws off. Take the white connector apart and pull out the temperature sensor from the inside of the oven. Then put the new one in.

F2 Warning - Oven overheating
I checked various sites on the net and decided that the temperature sensor was the problem. The GE price for the replacement part was about $105, most of the other sites offered the sensor in the $70 range. PartSelect $12.95 When the part arrived, I removed a small self taping screw, pulled the high temperature wire connector into the oven space, disconnected the quick disconnect fitting, attached the new temperature sensor, pushed the connecting wire into its hole, replaced the screw and that was it. I probably saved about $200 in parts and labor over what a local repairman would have charged. Oh yes!! I first disconnected the power at the breaker box. Very important.

The inner burner of the triple burner assembly did not function
The logical first choice for replacement was the triple burner assembly since that is subject to failure for obvious reasons. It turned out that the burner assembly was fine by visual inspection and by virtue of a continuity measurement.

The second choice seemed to be the frame relay board and that turned out to be correct. This was an educated guess since it is the "next" component going backwards, it is responsible for distributing the burner voltages, and that relays can have a reasonably high failure rate. This board could be tested but without schematics that seemed like a lot of effort, so I ordered it on a best guess.

Replacement of the board is not too difficult but does require some attention to detail, and patience is required to be sure that all the wires end up in the right place. Needle nose pliers are really helpful here. Take photographs, make a sketch, and label some of the obscure wires with painter's tape. Took about an hour or so.
