Oven Thermostat - Home Appliance Parts

An oven thermostat is a device that measures the temperature inside an oven and automatically adjusts the heating elements to maintain a constant temperature. This is important because different foods require different cooking temperatures, and even slight variations can lead to undercooked or overcooked food. If the oven thermostat fails, it can result in inconsistent cooking temperatures or even complete oven failure. In such cases, an oven thermostat replacement is necessary to ensure the appliance functions correctly.

Electric oven thermostats are the most common type of thermostat found in modern ovens. They work by using a sensor to detect the temperature inside the oven and send signals to the heating elements to either turn on or off.

Stove thermostats, on the other hand, are used to regulate the temperature of the burners on a stovetop. These thermostats work in a similar way to oven thermostats, but they are designed to work with a different type of heating element.
