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

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

Oven shuts off at high temps or won't maintain set temperature? This capillary thermostat monitors cavity heat to regulate baking performance accurately.

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 the temperature inside the oven cavity by cycling the heating elements on and off to maintain the set temperature. It connects to the oven's temperature-sensing system and control knob. Replace this part if the oven fails to heat, overheats, does not hold a consistent temperature, or if food is consistently undercooked or burned.

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.
