I tried out the self-clean cycle in my Samsung range. It worked okay but
after that, the oven didn't work. It seems that the self-clean cycle
burnt out the temperature sensor. I got a replacement from eBay for
about 13 bucks. It's easy to replace but I never tried the self-clean
cycle again. I guess I should have gotten 2 sensors.
