Gene. Well the news is that my main control board is fried..I have power going in but nothing going out. The cavity thermostat was a red herring...apparently it wont have continuity till its temperature hits 350 degrees at which point it will start up the exterior exhaust fan.

If it went dead when you were making pizza I bet it would be the cavity capacitor as stated earlier.
Mine was the main board fried

David I just did this cooking a pizza last night . Today I removed oven...found the cavity TCO on top left of unit(right beside humidity sensor)...stuck it in freezer for 30 minutes and everything is OK now. What stupid engineering by GE haha.

What stupid engineering by GE haha. Well oven crapped out again baking bread. This time it came back on after a few minutes but only resumed baking a few minutes before shutting down.Now it is dead...I guess its the same TCO thing...sick.

Check it and replace, if it's open.

Yep...I checked the TCO...one leg of the insulation on the connecter was partially melted and TCO was open. I had a spare (as should every Advantium oven owner lol) and that fixed it. I recrimped the connecters as the insulation being melted was probably due to a loose connection?
Maybe it was damaged the previous time I replaced the TCO?
That would explain the cycling on/off a few times before permanent off.
On the bright side I figured out how to replace the TCO thru the front grille instead of removing entire case. Took 15 minutes to fix.

During convection cooking the microwave just died. I ordered the TCO and checked it on the microwave and it was open, so I replaced it hoping that was the fix. The Microwave is still dead, I used the service manual and I checked the main PCB board for 120V t CN1 before transformer and I have no power. So is the main PCB board also dead. I know it's hard to diagnose without seeing just not sure about spending the $$ if it might not be the issue. It's worked fine as microwave for years this is probable the first time we used the convection oven in years and out it went. Is this the correct part and is there a cheap place online. WB27X10707
