Oven would not light. I replaced the igniter and now it lights but it will not heat past 200 degrees. Is this the thermostat acting up or is this connected to the gas supply? Any suggestions??? My oven is a GE Spectra XL44.

Do you smell propane? Any chance the entire element isn't lighting, maybe only a small part is lit and is not enough to heat the oven past 200 degrees. When you reach 200 degrees, does the oven cycle off or continue to 'try' to heat the oven? If it stays lit but won't heat any hotter, it's possible that there are blockages in the element and enough heat can't be generated from the parts still working.

Hello!

Verify the thermostat setting and alignment maybe set to below 200 degrees, if not solve then , please refer to the nearest service center of your oven.

When you say now it lights. is just the ignitor lighting?or can you hear the gas flowing??? can you feel it heating at all?? should start at 100 degrees and climb up from there. no reason for it not to heat past 200 (unless set to Celsius which default setting of 350 =190degress) therefore will not heat past 200. and wont let you try to heat to 425 , that would be off the charts of Celsius conversion. sensor problem would eitherno t let stove come on or wouldnt stop from heating eitherway a code would come up in the display
