Description

This thermostat is a direct-replacement oven temperature control that helps the oven maintain the set cooking temperature for consistent bake and roast results. It restores proper temperature sensing when the original fails. What it does:

• Senses oven cavity temperature and signals the heating element or gas valve to cycle on/off
• Helps correct issues like oven running too hot, too cool, or baking unevenly
• Works as the temperature-regulating sensor used by the oven control system
• Matches OEM function for reliable temperature control and repeatable cooking results

What's included:

• One thermostat as shown

Install notes:

• Disconnect power (or gas) before beginning any repair; verify power is off with a meter
• Accessible from the oven control housing or rear panel on most models; remove trims/panels as needed
• Handle component and capillary/tubing carefully to avoid kinks or damage
