When you set temperature to 300F and start. You are then waiting for the temperature to reach 300F. After you wait for 1.5 hours, the temperature is only to 265F. What is wrong with the oven.

Hello. The first thing I would check is the oven temperature sensor. Most sensors that are connected to electronic controls, have about 1100 ohms of electrical resistance at room temperature, +/- 10%. In the service manual, there usually is a temperature chart showing what the resistance will be at different temperatures. Age, oxidation of connectors, etc. can affect the temp reading capability. On a lot of ovens, there is usually just enough wire to be able to pull the temp sensor out far enough to get to the connector which joins the sensor to the wiring harness and back to the main control board. If you are careful, you might be able to get to the connector and disconnect it(being very careful to not let the other side slip back through the through-hole in the rear of the oven causing you to have to pull out the oven and remove the rear cover to recover the connector!) Use a voltage/ohm meter set to ohms and take a reading. There are only 2 things that control temperature in an oven--the main control board and the temperature sensor. If the sensor is good, the main board(or possibly a bad wiring connection) is defective. Normally, there is a +/- 35 degree adjustment range built in to electronic oven control boards accessible through different key presses outlined in the service manual. In your case though, you've either got a bad sensor or a defective control board--and in a rare case, both.

Hotplate and oven temp

There are several possibilities. Make certain your fuse at the main electrical box is correct for a 220VAC line. You do not want to OVER POWER the range. If that is normal, check all cords for insulation and flexibility. Check thermostat controls on the burners and/or oven.
If parts are normal, the only thing you can do is manually set temps lower when using the oven. Glass tops generally stay hot for several minutes after they are turned off. That is Normal, for example, to avoid Glass from fracturing; temperature slowly declines. Lastly; if all is lost, call for a serviceman to check it out, as you do not want a house fire.

Oven won't heat to temperature

Does it reach the temperature and then back down, or does it take too long to get to your set temperature? Either you have a faulty element or a bad communication error with the main control board.

My whirlpool gas stove oven quit working after my wife finished cooking the turkey. the bake setting does not get hot after setting the oven for baking., the pre-heat comes on but it does'nt get hot...

The oven temperature control is usually controlled by a thermostat that uses a capillary and liquid filled bulb. When the bulb's liquid gets heated up, it expands and puts pressure on a diaphragm which opens and closes a switch that controls the gas to the burner. Just set the dial to what you need the temperature to be. Over time, it is possible for your thermostat to lose its calibration. Sometimes, the thermostat sensing bulb comes loose from the holder. If it is out of place, the thermostat may be getting faulty readings. If this is the problem, re-aligning the bulb properly will take care of this problem.

Digital display models use a sensor to control temperature. If this is faulty, replace it. Other ovens use a mechanical system to control the temperature.

On many models, you can adjust your oven thermostat using a small screwdriver. The adjusting screw is located on the thermostat valve stem. Remove the knob and you'll see the screw underneath it. You want to turn the oven on and run it through at least two cycles while watching a calibrating thermometer in the oven for high and low temperatures. Adjust the screw as necessary to fine tune the temperature.

Some models don't have an adjustable thermostat, and you will have to replace the thermostat if you want to resolve the problem.
The oven sensor: works with the oven control board to regulate the oven temperature. If there is an oven temperature problem, this sensor might be defective. The sensor can be tested by using an ohm meter. As temperature rises, the resistance measurement also rises. The manufacturer of the oven sensor determines the correct resistance, Oven temperature problems can be caused by other things, but this is one of the common causes.
Beware on some models now most of these ovens they are electronic and they are integrated into the control itself
some different sensor ohm readings at room temp. approx 16 ohms at room temperature and at 350?F it is 29~33 ohms.

Oven not getting hot

The fan oven element needs to be replaced in the Hotpoint 6150 cooker.
Access is by removing the inner rear cover of the oven, there you will see the element.
Replace with a new one.

It is possible the base element is faulty in the top oven of the Hotpoint EW95,
The other possibility is that the high speed grill element is only part working.You need to check both these elements.
If the fan is working o/k in the main oven , but not getting hot, then you need to replace the element.
If it does heat, then it could be a faulty thermostat or possibly selector switch.
Unless you have a good working knowledge of electrics and know how to use a meter, then I would suggest you call some one in.
Plz rate my solution
Thanks.
