General Electric Oven Control Or Thermostat

This thermostat regulates and cycles the heat to maintain your set oven temperature. Replacing a worn thermostat can restore accurate baking performance and prevent undercooking, overheating, or temperature swings.

• Senses oven temperature and opens/closes contacts to control the heating elements or burner
• Helps maintain consistent, even heat at the selected set point
• Common failure symptoms: oven not reaching set temperature, runs too hot, temperature fluctuates, long preheat, or heat won't shut off
• Mechanical control; uses a capillary sensing bulb routed into the oven cavity

• Disconnect power (and shut off gas if applicable) before servicing
• Remove control knob/panel as needed; label and transfer wires one at a time to matching terminals
• Carefully route and secure the sensing bulb and capillary tube; do not kink, pinch, or allow contact with elements
• After installation, verify temperature performance and calibrate per service instructions if required

This thermostat regulates oven temperature to maintain consistent cooking heat and help restore accurate bake and broil performance. Fits select ranges and ovens; replaces a failed or inaccurate temperature control. What it does:

• Senses oven temperature and cycles the heating elements to maintain the set temperature.
• Restores correct oven temperature when the appliance is running too hot, too cold, or has uneven baking.
• Works as the control linkage between the oven temperature knob/selector and the heating system.
• Commonly replaced when the oven won't reach set temperatures or temperature readings are erratic.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repairs to avoid shock or injury.
• Accessible from the oven control panel or rear of the range; some models require removing the back panel or control console.
• Handle the thermostat carefully to avoid bending the sensing element; improper handling can affect accuracy.

This thermostat door lock assembly secures the temperature control area and helps ensure consistent thermostat operation. It replaces a worn or broken door lock to restore proper door closure and temperature performance. What it does

• Secures the thermostat/temperature control compartment door to help maintain consistent internal temperatures.
• Replaces damaged or broken lock components that prevent the door from latching properly.
• Helps stop drafts and reduce temperature fluctuation caused by a loose or non-latching control door.
• Common symptom: door won't stay closed or the thermostat cover won't latch.

• One thermostat door lock assembly.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any repair to avoid shock or injury.
• Handle plastic components carefully to avoid breakage; use appropriate hand tools.
• If mounting hardware or trim is damaged, replace those parts as well.
