I noticed today that my oven never heated up to its setting of 350F, I was waiting in the kitchen for the preheat light to turn on and it never did. I opened the oven after about 20 minutes and it was warm but not hot by any means. I turned the oven to broiler and the top element did heat up, so then I turned the oven back off, waited 15 minutes and turned it back to a 350F setting and it did reach temp. So what do I have here an oven t-stat that its on its way out? Thanks for your help.
Ozzy,
You don’t have a thermostat, you have an electronic control/ERC.
You should be checking the oven temperature sensor first
It should read less than 1100 ohms resistance at room temperature.
And 1350 to 1400 ohms at 212 degrees(boiling water).
Did you not have any failure codes, recently ?
Do you have a multi meter to test the circuitry ? it’ll come in handy, if you can get your hands on one.
