the oven heats beyond the set point. have already replaced the safety thermostat and the oven sensor, but did not fix problem.
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Jeff, thank you for reaching out. An oven vent helps circulate air throughout your appliance and helps keep it at an appropriate temperature. Covering this vent can affect the temperature. Dirt, grease, or grime may also cause vent blockages and lead to similar results. So, if your oven is overheating, keep your vent clear of anything that may block it and give your appliance a good deep cleaning. If this does not help, you will need to replace the bake element, part number PS11703285. We hope this solves your problem!

Fan no longer spins during convection heating and very, very slow to heat to temp, if ever. Bake selection taking far longer than normal to reach desired temp.
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Daniel, thank you for reaching out. We have researched and found that the issue is with the control board, part number PS11756564. We would recommend replacing the control board to fix the issue. Glad to be of assistance!

My oven does not get up to temperature in the bake cycle, the broil cycle works fine. Could this be a problem with the bake heating element or the oven temp sensor probe? I'm planning to order both from you but wanted to see if there was anything else I should try. Thanks, Barry
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Barry, Thank you for your question. If the oven is not heating correctly, the issue may be with the oven temperature sensor. The oven temperature sensor monitors the oven temperature and signals the electronic control board to turn the elements on and off. Before removing this part from the oven and testing it for continuity with a multimeter on the Rx1 setting, unplug the oven from the electrical outlet. This test needs to be done with the sensor at room temperature to produce accurate results. The reading should be between 1080 and 1100 ohms. If you get any other reading, you need a replacement temperature sensor. If the sensor is fine, you will need to check the elements, the electronic control board, and the wiring between the parts to see which part is causing the issue. We hope this helps with the repair!

1 element on stove doesn’t work. 1 element always cooked high even on low. Now another element is doing the same staying hot even on low. What parts do I need?
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Tammy, thank you for your question. Each burner is on a separate circuit and is controlled by an infinite heat switch. We recommend replacing the Infinite Switch, part number PS11740785, that controls the heating elements. Please submit a new question if you have any follow-ups.

mice had made nests in the insulation wrap in the range

I numbered every part. ex: 1 L., for first part removed left side. I used a magic marker to circle the holes and wrote the number of screws used on the part, set the srews in a separete place, so that I new where these screws went to. The cleanup was pretty time consuming, but I was able to keep my stove, when every repairman I called to fix my stove told me I was better off buying a new stove. ($600.00 stove 2 years old)Please Note: The insulation blanket needed for the entire stove is two pieces, the sides and top are one part # and the bottom and back, are another part #. I did not know this. I just purchased the top and sides. I got lucky, the back and bottom were still in good shape. So I guess I should have read the description of the part more carefully to see what it covers, before I ordered it. It took two people two hours to do the work, it was really nice to have an extra set of eyes, to remember what direction pieces of metal from the stove went. I would do it all over in a heart beat instead of buying a new stove.

temperature not accurate after 3 1/2 years of happy usage

Opened up the back of the stove. Unpluged the sensor. Replaced the sensor. Replace the back of the stove.

The sensor that has been replaced is not what is expected. After reading all of the instructions for adjusting the temperatures, the only temp that stays steady is when we first turn on the oven to 350 degrees. That stays s teady but when I turn it to 400 it slowly goes up to 425 degrees.

First, we turned on broil and the upper element turned orange and obviously worked. We figured the bottom element went out. The diagram on this site showed a bottom heating element that looked nothing like ours, but after reading other reviews, and reading that part that goes through the back of the oven was in the middle, and not off to the side, we ordered this element. It was perfect. All you have to do is unplug the oven, take out the bottom pan covering the element by removing 2 screws in the back, remove the lower small cover on the back of the oven and then unplug the old element, unscrew the old element on the inside of the stove, then install the new element and put everything back like it was. Nothing to it. It worked like a charm and my oven now heats up fast again. Easiest appliance repair job ever!
