Since the oven has two heating elements, if the oven does not heat up on any condition, and both broiling and baking element are not working, then the most common fault causing the problem is a faulty temperature probe.
The temperature probe is located inside the oven cavity. On most ovens there is only one temperature sensor, connected in line on the circuit from electronic oven control to baking and broiling element. When the probe fails, it will affect both baking and broiling function.
The temperature probe is tested reaching the probe, cutting or disconnecting its wiring, and testing the probe at room temperature, with a multimeter set on impedance at Rx1. If the multimeter reads no continuity (circuit open), then the probe must be replaced.
If the temperature probe is good, then parts that may be responsible for the fault are oven electronic control and wiring. Having both elements failing at the same time would be rather unusual.
If only one element is failing, then the fault is probably the element. In that case you can test the element removing it from the cavity, and testing Ohms on the element. If circuit is open , then the element must be replaced.
Last night my husband put my Frigidiare Gallery Series Gas Oven on self clean. It got unusually hot he said and not when I press the button for the oven to ignite, it won't come on. The timer and clock work. What could be wrong? Model number fgf379wjca

My frigidaire was a different model, but it wasn't the probe or the elements. It was the clock timer (EOC). Do you know how to use a multimeter?
