There however could be another reason for this problem. Turn the oven on and leave the door open and listen for when the burner ignites. It should light within 30-60 seconds. If it is taking longer than 60 seconds your ignitor is at fault and should be changed. If it lights within the 30-60 seconds your thermostat is at fault. The part number for the thermostat is 0316507. The part number for the ignitor is 31940001.<br><b>References : </b><br>40 yrs. major appliance repair When the temperature is that far off you need to replace the thermostat.

On your oven, you have a "Oven thermostat assembly" which consists of the dial that the oven temperature knob is attached to and the thermostat bulb that runs to inside your oven. Its relatively easy to replace. One important point is that the bulb is attached to the dial with a very thin tube that some people think is a wire. It will come out of the box coiled up and it is extremely important not to kink the tube as you uncoil it. Other than that its just a couple of screws and pay attention on how that tube is routed though your stove as you pull the old one out. The part should cost you about $110. Just call your local appliance repair shop or you can find it online at "www.repairclinic.com " their part # for the assembly for your stove is "1081" Good luck<br><b>References : </b><br>www.maintenancemarines.com Sounds like the thermostat.

If it does then it is your thermostat that's the problem. But if not, then it could be your heating element or the switch that sends the power for the element to heat up. Once you pinpoint the problem, you can go to appliance parts.com and order the parts. Specially ovens, they are easiest to fix. One best tool you need though - patience. good luck!<br><b>References : </b><br> Does your food cooks as you expect it to at the temperature you use?
