Answer

Sukhi, If the wire going to the thermal cutoff if burnt and broken then yes this would cause the unit to not heat. You will need to repair the wire connector and test the thermal cut off to make sure that it is still good. To test this you would do a continuity test. If there is continuity then the thermal fuse is good. If no continuity then you would need to replace the thermal fuse 279769. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
