Kenmore / Sears Range / Cooktop / Oven Oven Control Or Thermostat

This modulating thermostat controls oven temperature by cycling the heating element to maintain consistent cooking heat. It replaces a failed temperature regulator so your oven can reach and hold set temperatures more reliably. What it does:

• Senses oven temperature and modulates power to the heating element to stabilize cooking temperature
• Helps prevent large temperature swings that cause uneven baking or roasting
• Commonly replaced when the oven won't reach or maintain set temperature or cycles on/off too frequently
• Works as the temperature control interface between the oven sensor and the heating elements

• One modulating thermostat assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Handle thermostat and any attached sensing bulb or probe carefully; avoid kinking or damaging sensing components
• Verify wiring location and routing before removal; transfer all connectors exactly as removed

Fix a refrigerator that won't shut off or has temperature swings. This cold control thermostat regulates compressor cycling to stabilize temps.

Dryer not heating or overheating? This thermal limit thermostat regulates temperature and prevents damage. Common DIY fix in about 15 minutes.

This thermostat regulates refrigerator temperature to help maintain consistent cooling and proper food storage. It replaces a faulty control to restore normal cycling and temperature response. What it does:

• Senses cabinet temperature and tells the compressor when to run to maintain the set temperature
• Helps prevent temperatures from drifting too warm or too cold
• Can stop continuous compressor operation when the thermostat is functioning correctly
• Commonly replaced when the fridge won't reach or hold set temperatures

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work
• Handle electrical connections carefully and match wire locations exactly
• Mount and secure the thermostat in the original location; use OEM hardware if provided

This oven thermostat senses and regulates oven temperature so food cooks evenly and the range reaches set temperatures. It replaces a failed temperature control to restore accurate heating and cycle behavior. What it does:

• Closes and opens the control circuit to maintain the oven at the selected temperature
• Can correct symptoms such as oven not reaching set temperature, overheating, or excessive cycling
• Works with the oven's control system and heating elements to stabilize bake and broil operations
• Mechanical design — avoid bending or damaging the sensing element/capillary

• One oven thermostat

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any service
• Handle the thermostat and sensing element carefully; do not kink or sharply bend the capillary
• Verify proper thermostat mounting and oven cavity seals for accurate temperature control

Oven won't maintain set temperature? This mechanical thermostat restores accurate heating by cycling power to the element based on temperature readings.

Fixes oven not heating to correct temperature or overheating. This range oven thermostat regulates temperature. Moderate DIY repair for most models.

Freezer not cooling or motor not running? This refrigerator cold control thermostat regulates temperature and controls compressor operation.

Fix your range when oven temperature is incorrect or won't heat properly. This thermostat regulates oven heat. Common repair for uneven baking.

Oven overheating or won't heat properly? This safety thermostat monitors backguard temperature to prevent overheating. Simple DIY fix restores safe operation.
