Questions about this repair
Why would an oven stop heating in the middle of cooking?
There are several possible causes. On this Smeg, a faulty wiring connection overheated and damaged the selector switch, the fan element control unit and the thermal cut-out. Repairing the wiring and replacing those parts fixed it.
Should I keep using an oven that cuts out?
No. Stop using it and switch it off at the wall or circuit breaker until a technician has checked it, especially if you notice a burning smell.
