GE Electric Range Oven will not heat to properly set temperature?

Besides the electricity, there are 3 things that may be used to heat and adjust the heat .

One is the Heating element itself. That cooks the food

A switch

A thermostat

Or a combination switch /thermostat sensor

If you set it to broil & the heating element itself glows fairly decent I would not say that was the problem.

Depending on the model you may have a combination switch with the thermostat sensor on it

Ge Oven Not Heating Up

Your problem could be as trivial as a loose, (high resistance), connection at the breaker, or simply a worn breaker. It could also be more serious. Get an electrician, he will have the equipment to check it out. If you are comfortable with it, (and FULLY understand the following), you can check out the first possibility: Loosen the panel cover. Run the range until the breaker trips. Turn off the 'main` breaker. Turn off the range breaker. Remove the panel cover. Feel the wires and terminals of the 'range` breaker. (There are two open breakers between you and line power here). If they are too hot to touch this may be your problem. tighten the terminal screws so that a good firm contact is restored. Re-install the panel cover, turn on the breakers, let things cool down for a few minutes, and see if the problem is solved.

New thermostat, expensive repair needs professional, cheap oven thermometer and simply set the temp dial up until the oven reaches the temp you need - simple and cheap. Older ovens often get this way and will work just fine if you work with them.

I know the perfect solution if you are just starting with woodworking and also if you have already experience with it. I reccomend to give a look to this website ( woodworkingplans.kyma.info ) You can find a lot of woodworking plans and you will be able to manage the projects with a CAD/DWG software. It allows you to modify the projects and to alter the arragements. If you are a beginner this is the easiest way to start, it's the best approach to woodworking; and if you already have experience you will find a lot of ideas and inspirations to improve your abilities with woodwork. I'm sure that you will love it!

The element is probably burned out. You can check it with an ohmeter for resistance. Remember to turn the breaker off, as the oven switch only turns off one leg of the power. It also could be a wire burned off the element, which you will find when you take out the element. If the lug or wire is burned off it has to be replaced with a high temp. lug or wire. Please remember to shut the power before investigating.

Along with stone, mud and animal parts, wood was one of the first materials worked by early humans. Microwear analysis of the Mousterian stone tools used by the Neanderthals show that many were used to work wood. The development of civilization was closely tied to the development of increasingly greater degrees of skill in working these materials.

Could need a new thermostat.
