This oven thermostat senses and regulates oven temperature so food cooks evenly and the range reaches set temperatures. It replaces a failed temperature control to restore accurate heating and cycle behavior. What it does:

• Closes and opens the control circuit to maintain the oven at the selected temperature
• Can correct symptoms such as oven not reaching set temperature, overheating, or excessive cycling
• Works with the oven's control system and heating elements to stabilize bake and broil operations
• Mechanical design — avoid bending or damaging the sensing element/capillary

• One oven thermostat

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any service
• Handle the thermostat and sensing element carefully; do not kink or sharply bend the capillary
• Verify proper thermostat mounting and oven cavity seals for accurate temperature control

If your range won't heat, the display is blank, or temperature is incorrect, this control board regulates baking, broiling, and timer functions. Moderate DIY.
