BigOxley Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) Have an electric Whirlpool oven with a digital temperature set. It's not heating up properly so I replaced the thermostat for $74 Tested it: 350 = about 250 after about 20 minutes 375 = 290-300 400 is right What is going on?

spectragod Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Repairclinic.com, not just a parts source, but service tips and videos on some (a lot) of repairs. My guess is a bad thermistor, but I haven't worked on an oven like yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DKilbourne Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Replacing the motherboard is the next recommendation at about $200 ugh. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Unfortunately with a lot of appliances it ends up being easier and slightly more expensive to just get a new one. That seems to be what most end up doing.

ShoMeSomeFun Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Sure its not the heating element? Mine went was working poorly then eventually just broke.
