Default oven thermostat
Model Number: s161   Brand: Jenn-Air   Age: More than 10 years

The oven will not hold the set temperature. There is some play in the temp selector of 50 degrees on the scale. Is this a thermostat problem or some other control on the oven?

Pull out the thermostat knob and check the inner part of the knob.

Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for JENN-AIR S161 | AppliancePartsPros.com

Thanks Gene. The knobs set screws are solid and remain tight, however the post of the thermostat does have play in it of about 50 degrees.

Jim,

Does the thermostat stem play itself or inside the knob? If it does it itself then the thermostat has to be replaced. Otherwise replace the knob.
