Symptom, the oven does not hold a temp. The oven is either on, or off. It does not stop at any temp on the dial. If I try to adjust the temperature, the oven hits a point where it just turns off. Any help apprreciated Dave Cappy.

If it takes more then a minute to light up the burner, then the igniter is bad and has to be replaced. If there is nothing wrong with the oven igniter then the the problem is a bad thermostat. - The part number for the oven igniter AP2020569 - The part number for the oven thermostat AP3191697 The oven igniter The oven thermostat Good luck. Gene.

Having trouble finding a repair manual. this does seem as though it would be pretty straight forward to replace though. Thanks Again !!!
