General Electric Range Oven Control Or Thermostat

The Oven Control Thermostat is an OEM replacement part for GE ovens. It regulates the oven temperature by turning the heating elements on and off to maintain the desired temperature set by the user. This thermostat ensures accurate and consistent cooking temperatures, which is crucial for optimal baking and roasting results.

Causes of a bad oven control thermostat can include prolonged exposure to high temperatures, wear and tear from frequent use, or electrical issues such as power surges that can damage the thermostat's internal components. Additionally, improper handling or accidental impact during maintenance or cleaning can affect its functionality.

Symptoms of a bad oven control thermostat include:

• The oven not reaching the set temperature
• Inconsistent or fluctuating oven temperatures
• The oven overheating or underheating
• Error codes or malfunctioning temperature settings
• The oven not turning on or off correctly

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Electric Thermostat is an OEM replacement part for GE ovens. This component is responsible for monitoring and regulating the temperature inside the oven. When you set a desired temperature, the electric thermostat ensures the oven heats to that specific temperature and maintains it throughout the cooking process.

Causes for a malfunctioning Electric Thermostat can include electrical issues, such as faulty wiring or connections, calibration problems, or wear and tear from regular use.

Symptoms of a bad Electric Thermostat include:

• Oven not reaching the set temperature
• Overheating or under-heating of the oven
• Inconsistent temperature fluctuations during cooking
• Error messages related to temperature or heating

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Oven Thermostat is an OEM part for GE ovens. This thermostat is a component in regulating the oven's heat, turning the heat on and off to maintain the desired temperature setting. With its precise calibration and durable construction, the oven thermostat is essential for achieving consistent cooking outcomes and preventing overheating, which could lead to burnt or undercooked food.

Causes of a bad oven thermostat include prolonged use, which can affect its sensitivity, and exposure to extreme temperatures, which may impact its accuracy.

Symptoms of a bad Oven Thermostat include:

• The oven not reaching the set temperature
• Oven temperature fluctuating too widely from the desired setting
• Food not cooking evenly or within expected time frames

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Thermostat is an OEM part for GE microwaves. This part regulates the temperature within the microwave, ensuring it operates within safe and efficient temperature ranges. It helps prevent overheating by monitoring and controlling the internal temperature, protecting both the appliance and the user.

Causes of a bad thermostat can include wear and tear over time, electrical malfunctions, or damage from power surges.

Symptoms of a bad thermostat include:

• Microwave not heating properly

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Thermostat is an OEM part for GE ovens. This critical component functions as a temperature sensor and controller within the oven, ensuring that the oven heats to the set temperature and maintains it throughout the cooking process. The thermostat prevents the oven from overheating by cycling the heat on and off as needed. 

Symptoms of a failing thermostat include:

• Oven not reaching the desired temperature
• Overheating beyond the set temperature
• Uneven cooking or baking results
• Oven temperature fluctuating more than usual

Causes of thermostat failure generally include age-related wear and tear, calibration issues, or exposure to extreme temperatures that can damage its internal components.

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Hi-Limit Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE ranges. It is a safety component responsible for monitoring internal oven temperatures. The hi-limit switch helps prevent overheating by detecting when excessive heat has built up inside the oven cavity. It will automatically cut power to the bake/broil elements if temperatures rise too high.

Causes of a bad hi limit switch can include normal failure after years of exposure to heat, or issues with the electronic components or calibration.

Symptoms of a bad hi-limit switch include:

• The oven failing to heat up or bake/broil food properly
• Frequent thermal cut outs requiring the oven to be unplugged
• Delays in the oven reaching the set temperature
• Oven will not turn on

This is a genuine OEM part that works for some models of GE, and Hotpoint models.

This replacement part is a high-limit thermostat, and it is intended for use in different types of appliances. This is a genuine replacement part made by General Electric. This high-limit thermostat is typically found in dryers and controls the heat inside the drying tub. This is especially important as different dryer settings require different amounts of heat. If the high limit thermostat works properly, the temperature inside the tub should reach the correct amount during each drying cycle with no issues. A new high-limit thermostat might be needed if the user notices that the dryer is unable to reach the appropriate level of heat for a certain drying cycle. This is also true if the dryer is becoming too hot when the heat is supposed to be set to low. Make sure the dryer is cooled down prior to replacing this part as the areas in the back of the dryer can become very hot during use. Be sure to reference the specific user manual for more instructions on how to replace the thermostat. This thermostat is sold individually and is a genuine OEM part. The thermostat is sourced directly from the manufacturer.
