That could be several things, but to me the most likely is that your thermistor is caked with grease - somewhat shorted as opposed to open. By contrast, when the thermistor is open, the classic symptom is that the coolling fan runs more than it should. The other most likely possibilities include the damper motor or switch or control panel. You should be able to get any needed parts at Tritronics at http://www.wehaveparts.com You can find critical safety & disassembly info in the serice manual or at our Web site. We have the actual service manual for that model on our site at http://www.microwavedisplay.com/R930AKAW.pdf (if that URL fails try http://207.234.249.73/mwd/R930AKAW.pdf) Post back if you wish.

Sounds like a loose connection or a failing hood thermostat. That's right behind the control panel on the base plate. If you or a friend decide to work on it, we have *critical* safety and disassembly info at our site, which is linked at our listing here on FixYa: http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk You can find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your base model number (without the suffix) here: http://www3.sears.com/

There is a flame sensor whose job it is to cut power if there is a fire. It has probably blown.
It may be called a thermostat, thermal cutout, or thermal fuse. It will look something like the drawings below. (The service info I have on this model is spotty).
But generally, there is one on the floor of the chassis behind the control panel. It should read open on a continuity test.
There will normally be two others, and they will read closed (also called shorted or zero ohms). One is on or near the magnetron and the other is along the top of the cooking cavity.

NOTE: There may also be a "mini-manual" hidden inside the unit behind the control panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is very helpful when troubleshooting.

What usually breaks is the door open lever.
On an over-the-range model, only the control panel needs to be removed. Please unplug the oven first.

Once it is apart, you'll be able to see how the door open button would press against the door open lever, which would then lift up against the door latch heads (hook-like projections on the door) and the door should open.
Dacors are made by Sharp, and one of these service manuals below may help you.
