Estate Range / Cooktop / Oven Oven Control Or Thermostat

The Thermostat Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool gas ranges. This kit includes the thermostat, which is responsible for regulating the oven temperature during cooking. By ensuring accurate temperature control, it allows for consistent cooking and baking results.

Over time, the thermostat can wear out or become faulty due to regular use, exposure to high temperatures, or electrical issues. When the thermostat malfunctions, it can lead to inaccurate temperature readings and cooking inefficiencies.

Symptoms of a bad gas range thermostat include:

• The oven not reaching the set temperature
• Inconsistent cooking results
• The oven overheating
• The oven not maintaining the desired temperature

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This mechanical oven thermostat controls cavity temperature. It senses heat with an attached capillary bulb and cycles the heating source to reach and maintain the set temperature for consistent, reliable baking performance.

• Regulates oven temperature by opening/closing internal contacts based on sensor bulb feedback
• Helps restore accurate preheat and steady cooking temperatures
• Common failure symptoms: won't reach set temperature, runs too hot, wide temperature swings, or continuous heating
• Provides direct temperature control on knob-operated models

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; allow the oven to cool completely
• Handle the capillary tube carefully—avoid kinks or sharp bends
• Route and clip the sensor bulb exactly as originally installed for proper sensing
• Restore power and verify operation with an oven thermometer

This thermostat is a temperature-sensitive safety switch for range and wall-oven systems. It opens or closes its electrical contacts at a set temperature to help regulate heat, protect components, and keep the appliance operating safely and reliably.

• Senses temperature and opens/closes the circuit at its calibrated threshold
• Helps prevent overheating by interrupting power when excessive heat is detected
• Automatically resets once temperatures drop, depending on design and application
• Common failure signs include no heat, heat dropping out during preheat/bake, or no continuity through the thermostat when cool

• Disconnect power at the breaker; if gas, also shut off the gas supply before servicing
• Access the part per your model; photograph wiring and move connectors to the new thermostat one at a time
• Reinstall in the original orientation and location so it senses heat correctly; do not alter factory routing
• After installation, run a brief test cycle to confirm normal operation

Electromechanical oven thermostat that regulates and maintains oven temperature for more consistent cooking results. Replaces a failing thermostat to help restore correct heating and reduce temperature swings. What it does:

• Regulates oven temperature by opening/closing internal contacts to control heating cycles.
• Helps correct symptoms such as oven not heating, overheating, uneven cooking, or frequent temperature fluctuations.
• Restores manual temperature control function when the original thermostat fails.

• Disconnect electrical power (and gas supply for gas ovens) before servicing.
• Handle the sensing element and any capillary tube carefully to avoid kinks or damage.
• Verify the part number and fit for your oven before installation.
