Is my oven worth fixing?

My oven is too hot, atleast 100 degrees hotter then any temp I set it at.also it shuts off out of the blue quite frequently.I think this is because the fan motor burnt out,the fan definately isn't working, we don't hear it on ever anymore. smelt like wire burning smell a couple of months ago, thought it was the oven, but at that time oven was still working well.now the smell is gone, but the oven works terrible! is it even worth fixing? its got to be around 7 years old give or take

Seven years is not a long time for a quality oven and replacements aren't cheap so the big question is do you have deep pockets and are you looking for an excuse to make a change?

The thermostat will need replacing and maybe the fan motor, maybe a circuit board.

I suggest you look through your local classified directory and make a few phone calls asking about the price of fixing things vs. replacing them.
Lots of people would opt for replacement because the downside of a repair is other things could go wrong over the next few years costing more money while a new replacement could have a warranty period of up to five years.

Oven runs much hotter than set temperature. Usually 50 degrees hotter than what it is set at, but can go over 100 degrees higher.

Sounds like you need a new oven thermostat or get an oven thermometer and by experimentation draw up a new heating range for the oven dial.

The oven does not heat to the set temperature. It is usually much hotter

You can have the oven recalibrated by a professional OR you can purchase an oven thermometer and check the temperature yourself. Place the oven thermometer in the oven.Set the oven to a specific temperature. When it indicates it is at that temperature check the thermometer. Adjust your setting by that many degrees. For instance, if you set the temp at 350 and the oven thermometer shows 450, then reduce your temperature setting by 100 degrees each time you use the oven.

My oven temperature is 100 degrees hotter than it should be

It will be the sensor inside the oven compartment that is causing the problem.
A new sensor should cure the prob, certainley cheaoer than buying a new oven.
Hope my advice helps you.

The oven is 100 degrees colder then the read out

press bake and set to 550degrees. within 2 seconds press and hold the bake until 2 digits show on display, then release bake. the digits displayed is the amount of degrees the oven is off from original factory setting. If it reads 0, it is at original factory setting. you can now adjust by pressing the up button for a hotter oven, down for lower. it can only be done for 35 degrees. when done, hit clear/off. this will help to close the gap. if you are using an inexpensive thermometer, it can take a very long time for it to read the actual temp in the oven.

The oven temp is 100 degrees hotter than the set temp.

On most oven temperture controls, if you pull the knob off there is an adjustment screw down in the shaft turn counterclock wise?? to lower setting. Good luck

Oven temperature does not get hot enough.

Hi, It sounds like the ignitor might be getting weak and opening the gas valve conditantly. Try setting a temperature and watch to see the ignitor glow. The flame should ignite within 30-45 seconds. If the flame ignites to heat rith away, it should get up to temp before shutting down.
I hope this helps you. Please let me know if I can assist you further with this issue.

Thanks
Vic

Oven temp gets hotter than control indicates.

Alot of the thermostats are adjustable and can be recalibrated but when they act like this, it is best to replace them. It is just a matter of time before it quit all together. Electronic units are some what different.
Let me know what you do and I'll give you a hand in getting it going.
