General Electric Wall Oven Oven Control Or Thermostat

This oven temperature control thermostat regulates heat by cycling the elements to maintain your set temperature. Replacing a worn thermostat helps restore accurate baking and consistent, reliable oven performance.

• Senses oven temperature and opens/closes contacts to hold the selected setting
• Can resolve inconsistent baking results, extended preheat, or erratic cycling
• In some failures, the oven may not heat at all

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the appliance to cool before service
• Access the control area; move wires to the new thermostat one at a time to match positions
• Route and secure the sensing probe/tube along the original path and retainers; avoid kinks or sharp bends
• After installation, verify temperature with an oven thermometer and calibrate per service instructions if needed

This temperature-control thermostat regulates refrigerator cooling cycles to help maintain set temperatures and proper food storage. It senses cabinet temperature and signals the compressor and fans to run as needed for stable cooling. What it does:

• Monitors interior temperature and switches compressor/fan circuits on or off to maintain the selected setting
• Restores normal cooling when a failed thermostat causes the fridge to run constantly or not run at all
• Helps prevent temperature swings that can lead to spoiled food or excessive frost
• Common symptoms: refrigerator too warm, fridge runs nonstop, or unit doesn't respond to temperature adjustments

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work to avoid shock or injury
• Access may require removing the control housing or panel; keep track of screws and fasteners
• Disconnect the wiring connector gently; avoid bending or stress on wires and the sensor capillary
• After installation, restore power and verify proper cycling and temperature control
