Description

This internal-bias thermostat senses oven temperature and helps the control board maintain the set heat level. Replacing a failing thermostat restores more consistent temperature control and more reliable cooking results. What it does:

• Senses cavity temperature and signals the control to cycle the heating element or burner
• Regulates heating cycles so the oven reaches and holds the set temperature
• Common symptoms: oven takes too long to heat, temperature fluctuates or runs too hot, or the oven cycles on/off erratically

What's included: One thermostat Install notes:

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off circuit breaker) before servicing to avoid shock
• Access location varies by model—part is typically mounted near the control or inside the oven cavity housing
• Handle the sensor element and terminals carefully to avoid damage; reuse of mounting hardware depends on your model
