Hello Linda;

My name is Peter. I am a retired field service appliance technician.

The normal operation of a oven, with the exception of the new over priced accurate ovens: The oven will raise 20-40 degrees above the set temperature and then turn off. When the oven temperature drops 20-40 degrees below the set temperature it turns back on and the cycle repeats.

There are 3 components that affect your oven operation:
1. Burner element - Although your burner element is providing heat - inspect the two element connections in the back of your oven for corrosion. Here you may not be getting enough power through the burner element.
OK. No corrosion.
2.) Thermocouple - Inside your oven is the thermocouple. It is either a rod coming straight out in the back upper right corner or fixed against the back wall. It is a little larger than a coat hanger wire. The thermocouple communicates directly with the burner control. The burner control will raise or lower the temperature based on the feed back from this sensor.
3.) Burner control will increase or lower the electrical power or gas supply based on the reading from the oven thermocouple.

A thermocouple purchased over the internet, depending on what you have is between $35-65.00.

The oven control board - I recently replaced a oven control board for a friend. His oven temperature was off 200 degrees. Sears wanted $256.00. I got a remanufactured oven control board over the internet for $30.00.

If you are handy, both of these components are easily replaced.
If I were still working for Sears Home Services and came to your home, the bill would be the parts x 2 plus and about $200.00+ labor.

You did not provide your model number, which is on a metal label on the face of your oven when you open the door. So, I can not give you the part numbers that you need.

It could be your oven isn't as hot as you set it. Get a thermometer and check it. It could be the "something" you cooked was larger than the recipe was expecting... It's cooking, you have to adjust. It could even be your altitude above sea level. Higher, water boils at a lower temp, things take longer to cook.

How to change lower element in DeLonghi Airstream Convectio Oven

  • How to change lower element in DeLonghi Airstream Convectio Oven??

  • Preheat ovens only when necessary. With conventional ovens, keep the preheating time to a minimum. Unless you're baking breads or pastries, you may not need to preheat the oven at all.
  • Food cooks more quickly and efficiently in ovens when air can circulate freely. Don't lay foils on racks. If possible, stagger pans on upper and lower racks to improve air flow.
  • Use glass or ceramic pans in ovens. You can turn down the temperature about 25°F and cook foods just as quickly.
  • Do not open the oven door often to preview the food. Each time you open the door the oven temperature drops by 25°F. Watch the clock or use a timer instead.
  • Full-size ovens are not very efficient for cooking small- to medium-sized meals, it generally pays to use toaster ovens or microwave ovens.
  • Check to be sure the oven door gasket is tight. Adjust or replace gaskets as required.
  • If you have a self-cleaning oven, consider using the self-cleaning feature immediately after regular baking when the oven is still hot. Less energy will be required to reach the cleaning temperature. Try not to use the self-cleaning feature too often.
  • Keep range-top burners and reflectors clean; they will reflect the heat better and save energy.
  • Match the size of the pan to the heating element; more heat will get to the pan and less will be lost to the surrounding air. A 6-inch pan on a 8-inch burner will waste over 40% of the energy.
  • On electric stove-tops, use only flat-bottomed pans that make full contact with the element. A warped or rounded pan will waste most of the heat.
  • When cooking with a gas range-top burner, use moderate flame settings to conserve gas. Also make sure the pilot light is burning efficiently, with a blue flame. A yellowish flame indicates an adjustment is needed because the gas is burning inefficiently.
  • Whenever possible, use a pressure cooker. By cooking food at a higher temperature and pressure, cooking time is reduced dramatically and energy use is cut by 50-75%.

    I want to use top and bottom ovens but at different temps - how do I do this

    To Set a Cook T ime:
    1. On double oven models only, press UPPER OVEN or LOWER
    OVEN for the one you want to set.
    2. Press BAKE or CONVECT UPPER (on some models).
    Press the number pads to enter a temperature other than the
    one displayed.
    3. Press COOK TIME.
    4. Press the HR and MIN "up" or "down" arrow pads to enter
    the length of time to cook.
    5. Press START/ENTER.
    The start time and stop time countdown will appear on the
    oven display.
    On double oven models only, when both upper and lower
    ovens are being used at the same time, touch UPPER OVEN
    or LOWER OVEN to display the respective cook time.
    When the stop time is reached, the oven will shut off
    automatically and "End" will appear on the oven display.
    If enabled, end-of-cycle tones will sound, then reminder
    tones will sound every minute.
    Repeat the process by choosing the other option of UPPER or LOWER OVEN

    Smoke comes out of top when cleaning oven. Oven takes way to much time to cook. Oven does not cook evenly. Items cooked in oven are burnt outside and almost raw inside.

    hello jjm... these ovens have two heating elements. when one is bad they still heat but they bake way too slowly. this is the problem here. the fix is to replace the bad element but in my repair service I always replace both heating elements since when one goes the other is usually not far behind.

    I have a KitchenAid Superba KEMC308KSS0 that is about 9 years old. In the past few months it has been cooking really slowly. Whereas in the past, in convection mode, things cooked faster than...

    I have a Superba built-in YKEBS 177 D56 ( dual convection/convention)...I think it might be about 10 years old. I noticed the same thing starting last year..the temperature seems a litlle off and the cook time on the convention seems to take longer. I've never used the conventional oven so I don't know if the temperature is OK on that component.
    I don't have a manual. and I've been searching for it...does anyone know which one I need?
    Sorry I couldn't help with your problem, mine is similar to your though!!

    My oven takes ages to cook things am i missing

    We had this problem; Your thermostat is probably broken. To test this theory, buy an oven thermometer and test how accurate the oven is. My bet is you will find this to be off. Fix it now, otherwise, it might lead to other issues.

    Temp cycle span from on to off is 32 and 33 degrees respectvly

    Obviously the thermostat calibration is out, most manufactures allow a tolerance of + or- 10%, so yours is outside this range.
    You can compensate by setting the temperature lower by say 20 degrees, this will then bring it within accepted tolerances.
    Hope this helps you.

    Have a GE Electric Cook Top oven with digital

    Unplug the stove. plug back in and program a short clean cycle. If this does not fix it is eithe the selector switch or the electronic control. Verifying the switch contacts with a meter is the only way to be sure.
