Hi, Upon reading your post I immediately thought of a bad ignitor for the oven, but I am not sure whether you have a gas oven or a conventional electric range. So...If it is gas, I'd suggest replacing the ignitor for the hot surface ignition. If it's electric the bake element may be at fault although most range's use the broil in the preheat, so it should still climb up to 400, it would just take a really long time. Maybe you can clarify if it's electric or gas and I can try to move you forward from there. Macmarkus :)

How do you reset the frigidaire wall oven?

Good Afternoon Friend,

I understand you are trying to reset your Frigidaire wall oven, model# FEB27S5A, due to it not heating above 100 degrees. I suggest resetting at your homes circuit breaker for 3-5 minutes. When you restore power, you will first need to set the clock. After setting the clock, preheat your oven. If you are still noticing that the temperatures are still not going above 100 degrees, I suggest contacting your local authorized technician for further assistance. They will be able to diagnose your appliance and determine what is causing it to not reach the desired temperatures. Hope this is helpful.

-Best regards-

GE free-standing electric range Pre-heat oven temp is about 50 degrees less than what is set (i.e. set digital display to 400 and over only reaches about 350). Is there an adjustment that can be made to...

We have a new GE Range and the signal beeps at about 100 degrees below the temp which we have set . The dealer replaced the sensor and the control circuit, but there was no change.
A service tech from GE came to our house and explained that the new ovens have a bottom heating element which is covered and therefore heats the lower part of the oven more slowly; but the exposed upper element heats more rapidly and the sensor is located near the upper element. We were advised to wait for about 15-20 minutes after the beep before placing the food in the oven. Judging from the number of comments found online, this seems to be a feature of newer ranges.

Oven will not heat until you turn the heat up to 400 degrees

Your "Bake" element may not be working properly. It's the one in the bottom of the oven. Place a couple drops of vegetable oil on the bottom pan, and turn the oven on. During pre-heat, you should start to see those oil drops generate some smoke, IF the lower element is working properly. If it isn't - voila'.!! Problem is with the lower element / associated circuit.

Set oven to pre-heat to 350; won't go above 100 degrees

could be one of 3 problems: missing 240volts and only have 120volts(one leg out)/bad element(chk for "hot-spot") pitted and discolored-it will soon break there/or the thermocouple is bad that senses oven temp

Oven Temp

After it drops temperature, how do you get it back to the desired degrees? It sounds like the thermostat isn't keeping up.
