This oven thermostat regulates your range's cooking temperature. It senses the oven cavity and switches the heat on and off to maintain your set point, helping restore accurate, consistent baking and roasting results.

  • Regulates oven temperature by sensing heat and cycling the burner/element to hold the set point
  • Symptoms of a failing thermostat include running too hot or too cool
  • Food may bake unevenly, be undercooked/overcooked, or the oven may not reach the set temperature
  • Preheat may take excessively long or temperature may swing widely
  • Heat may not cycle off once the set temperature is reached
What's included: 1 oven thermostat Install notes:
  • Disconnect electrical power; for gas ranges also shut off the gas supply
  • Allow the oven to cool completely before service and use proper PPE
  • If your original uses a sensing bulb/capillary, route and secure it exactly as the original and avoid kinks or sharp bends
  • After installation, verify temperature with an oven thermometer and perform user calibration only if your model supports it

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Oven Thermostat (Temperature Control) (Part Number: OEM18034197)

Dennis for Model Number 7515P046-60

So I bought this part from you folks, hooked it up and turned on and got no gas, all the other burners work, I unhooked the primary burner line turned the valve to the on position and got no gas. Sent an e-mail to you guys with this description got a response about the igniter might not be working but its not the igniter when the valve is pushed in and turned on it provides no gas. I know there is gas to the valve because when I first installed it there was a gas leak. $69 plus shipping and at least a 3 week wait for this part and apparently it doesn't work. What are your suggestions? Thank You.

Dennis, We will need to have the model number of your range to be able to assist properly.

Robert, the thermostat WP7515P046-60 is the correct part for your model. However, if the pilot light is not working properly, then you would certainly want to look at the pilot WP7505P327-60 itself as the main issue.

Gregg, The part that would be needed for the pilot going out when you turn the temp on would be a thermostat issue which is part number WP7515P046-60.

Hello Bob. The thermostat 74006332 has been permanently discontinued by the manufacturer and we don't know of any source or replacement for the part. Sorry.

Anna, The difference between the valve is that one is for the smaller btu burner which is 74010756 (6500) and the larger is 74010757 (9100). For the oven when you shut the gas off it is necessary to relight the pilot. If the pilot is not lit then the oven will not operate.

Trudy U for Model Number Amana Electric stove

can't find the model number It is a simple model with no extras no clock involved. When I turn the dial to the oven the only place it turns on is just above 450 degrees it does preheat and I can bake some with biscuits and cookies but I really have to watch it they brown really fast on the bottm. I am not sure if the dial it self needs replaced or thermostat. I would love to figure out where the model number is I bought this about 2008 from Menards and I selected not alot of gadgets so it may have less to break down about it. I thought buying it new would also be a plus for me. I really need some help here if you can direct me to the right part I would appreciate it. Thank you for your time Trudy Utterback

Trudy, Before you replace anything, check and make sure the control knobs have not been reversed, by accident (If you have the thermostat knob on the selector switch, or visa versa) you'll get cooking results just like you're describing. Without a model number it's pretty difficult to get you parts and service information. Depending on the age of the stove, you may find the production tag on one of the front flanges, when you open the broiler or storage drawer, or it could be under the right front burner element and drip bowl.

Kenneth, We're sending you some information that should help. In short , once you get the burners, top and manifild cover dismounted. you cal loosen/remove the screws holding the manifold pipe to the frame, you can remove the bolt that secures the thermostat to the manifold pipe from underneath. You may also have to convert the thermostat to LP Gas, by turning the conversion/adjustment screw to point at the "LP" setting.

Hello Charles. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the thermostat WP7515P046-60 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit.

Hi R.A. If the top burners flame is a strong blue with slight or no yellow tips then the gas pressure regulator must be fine. I would first see if the burner and the burner orifice ports are not clogged with debris not allowing proper gas flow. Check all of this with the gas safety valve off. If you still are not to instantly light the oven pilot then replace the complete thermostat part # WP7515P046-60. Make sure that while replacing the capillary sensor tubing that you completely straighten it out and curve it as you need to bend it. make sure to re stuff all cavity holes with insulation from a local hardware store so the inner heat don't escape the cavity and burn external wires. Thank you.
