When attempting to increase the temprature of the oven for a meal (350 to 450), the oven temp. did not increase. The "PreHeat" button was on, but nothing happened. The oven can go up to 350, but it takes 20 minutes. I've shut the power off at the breaker box and turned it back on hoping a "hard-start" would help, it didn't. Any solutions?
If you have multiple elements it is possible that one may be burned out and limiting the high end of operation.. Check all to make sure that none is open and replace as necessary.
Check attached site for parts and prices. If you can get the part number it is possible for you to be able to get it on ebay for less money. No harm in checking. Search Over 2 1 Million Appliance Parts

The fault is either the capillary has fallen away from back or it is a faulty thermostat.

This is what I would do: I would unplug the range and connect my test cord to your range cord. I use an ammeter along with my test cord to read the amp draw of the bake ignitor. If it cannot get above 3.5 amps I know the ignitor is bad or weak. Since the oven is working that means there is a good circuit. In order for the safety bi-metal to open the amp draw must reach 3.5 amps or better. So to me I am thinking bad ignitor. To get to it I remove the door oven racks and bottom, I then remove the flame spreader and unplug the quick connect to the ignitor. I remove the burner and ignitor and replace the ignitor on a work bench. I am too old to be bending over and trying to do any parts replacement inside an oven. LOL. I have a training film which shows how the silicone carbide ignitor works HERE. Post a model number and I may have a service manual, do not forget to rate the answer.

Hi This means a
loose/broken wire on the oven temp sensor or the oven temp. sensor itself is
bad and should be replaced. To solve this issue test the oven temp. sensor, it
should read between 1080-1120 ohms, if the rating is more then that and the
door appears to be closing fine then it is the control board that is bad and
should be replaced. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.
