It sounds like one of two problems, Either the belt is off, (if belt drive) Or the motor is locked up or not starting, To test this UNPLUG THE UNIT, and use your hand to see if the motor will turn, If not find out why not,,, If it will then the motor is bad or the start capacitor is bad.

Can an electric stove turn itself on?

As a CRI, I routinely test electric stoves. I do this by turning on all burners to high and verifying 1) they all heat up 2) the breaker does not trip 3) the absence of sparks or unusual smoke or odor (slight smoke and odor is normal depending on the cleanliness of the unit). I test the oven by turning the oven to bake and 350 degrees and verifying the lower element heats up; I test the upper element by turning the broiler on high and verifying it heats up. You can also inspect lights/fans/self-cleaning/etc if desired.
