GE Electric Range Thermostat (WB20K10035)

The GE Electric Range Thermostat regulates oven temperature by sensing heat inside the oven cavity and signaling the bake or broil element to cycle on and off to maintain the temperature you set. It works as the primary control between the temperature selector and the heating elements, keeping your oven within a consistent and accurate temperature range during cooking.

The GE Electric Range Thermostat can fail over time due to normal wear on its internal sensing components, heat fatigue, or a damaged capillary tube that connects the sensor to the thermostat body. Corrosion, loose connections, or extended exposure to high heat cycles can also cause the thermostat to read temperatures inaccurately or stop responding altogether.

Look for these symptoms to help determine if the thermostat may need to be replaced:

- Oven temperature runs consistently hotter or cooler than the set temperature

- Food burns on the outside but is undercooked inside

- Oven does not heat at all after selecting a temperature

- Oven heats continuously without cycling off

- Baking results are uneven or unpredictable

- Oven takes much longer than usual to reach the set temperature

- Temperature fluctuates widely during cooking
