Oven temperature wrong or not heating? Twin bulb thermostat faults

The thermostat reads the oven temperature through liquid-filled bulbs on thin capillary tubes and switches the elements on and off to hold the setting you choose. On a twin bulb design the two sensing bulbs sit in different spots, which is why one capillary is longer than the other. When a capillary is kinked or cracked, or the contacts wear, the oven may not heat, may overheat and burn food, may cycle erratically or may never reach the set temperature. A knob that turns but changes nothing also points here.

Check the type, then fit

First open the back or control panel and confirm your existing thermostat has two capillaries, not a single probe. Ovens are usually hard-wired, so a licensed electrician should isolate the supply and complete the job. Photograph the wiring, then carefully feed each bulb into the same clips and positions as the old ones without kinking the capillaries. Check the oven reaches the set temperature with an oven thermometer.

Questions about this part

How do I tell a twin bulb thermostat from a single probe?

Look at the back of the thermostat body. A twin bulb unit has two thin capillary tubes leading into the oven, one longer than the other. A single probe type has only one. This listing is the twin bulb version.
