My Samsung oven wouldn't turn on after I used the self-cleaning feature one time because the temperature sensor was damaged by the high heat. My understanding is that it's a common problem. A replacement was around $12 on eBay. That's kinda lame, if you ask me. That was the first and last time that I'll use the self-cleaning cycle on that thing. Too bad, it's a handy feature.
