The thermostat on my Debige 2440 SS gas oven does not work. It heats to 425 degrees no matter where the dial is set. What do I need to replace/repair?

SOURCE: Oven heating problems

I'm afraid you might need a new thermostat. The only other thing you might check is to make sure that your 'vent' is not blocked with a pan or tea kettle etc., but I'm pretty sure it is a thermostat.

I had the very same problem. I slid the oven out of the wall about 6" or so, unplugged it, plugged it back in. It worked. I'm not sure if I jostled some connection, or if unplugging/repluging it in reset some sort of circuit fault.

probably the element. to save wasting money, check continuity with a multimeter

SOURCE: New replacement thermostat needs calibrating on my Kenmore oven

There is no real way to calibrate the thermostat. Most ovens have the same problem. By lowering the setting slightly will help get a closer temperature. Sometimes similar thermostats are substituted and may not be exactly the same as the original that came with your oven. Hope my trying to answer your question was helpful, Thanks, Sea breeze

Try to locate the thermostat sensor in the oven. It will be long about 5 inches, thin and cylindrical with a very thin wire coming from it. It should be bright and shiny. If it isn't buy some paint on oven cleaner from Lakeland and carefully remove the dirt. It may take a couple of goes. The sensor wire can be brittle so treat it with respect. Lakeland also do an oven temperature guage at a reasonable price if you need to check the temperature.
