Required extra wiring harness and barely fit
I didn't have a great experience with this part, but did manage to get it installed, and it seems to work. My stove is a Hotpoint model number RGB540SEP5SA. The original knob/thermostat PN is WB20K10023, which is explicitly listed on this page as compatible with the replacement part i recieved. However, the original and replacement parts are physically different in size, and terminal layout. The original had all terminals on one side, whereas the replacement they are on opposite sides. In order to install the thermostat knob i had to build a small wiring harness so that the terminal on the wrong side could be connected. Beyond this, the physical was different to the point where the new switch BARELY fit, and had to be physically forced into position so that the screws would align. Despite the annoyances, it does seem to work, so 3 stars.

Broken thermostat.
This gas range had an oven that would heat, but it wouldn't hold it at a stable temperature. Say you set it at 300 degrees. Well, it'd head up to broiling temperatures, then drop down to like 200 degrees, then 400 degrees (You get the picture).
My guess was that the thermostat, given that this oven was ~20+ years old, was no l
... Read moreonger able to detect correctly the temperature inside the oven.
The thermostat sensor is made up of the housing (The part that sits behind the oven temperature control knob), a long wire (so you can route it to the inside of the oven), and the probe itself (Which I boldly assume is the thing that measures the temperature inside the oven)
TL;DR:
-Pull oven from wall. -Turn off electric and gas. -Remove the grates and drip pans off the top. -Pry the range's cooktop up (It's on like a hinge and is designed to lift up. You have to play with it a bit with like a screwdriver on the sides (One on each side). If you pry just a tad, you'll notice these prongs that act like detents. (LIFT CAREFULLY, the heating elements are still connected via their gas lines! They're flexible, but don't man handle the thing! -Once that's up, it's time to finally start removing the thermostat which is the knob that controls the oven temperature. Pull the plastic knob off which will expose the two screws you need to detach it from the oven (Phillips head). Be super careful. You don't want to drop these screws. You'll be struggling to fish them out of the empty space that sits between the thermostat and plastic knob. -Once that's loose, open the oven door and detach the thermostat from the back of the oven. Recycle the prongs holding the old thermostat sensor for the new one. -Go to the back of the range. Like the actual back part of it. -Frustrate yourself with pulling out the thermostat through the route it's been put in. It's difficult to route it through the tight spaces, but not complicated. Keep a mental note of this route and copy it with the new thermostat that you have to install. -Don't fret, when it comes time to wire the new thermostat sensor, it's actually a lot easier than you would think to find that little hole in the back of the range that you have to slot it through. It's just slightly covered by insulation. Pulling it slightly aside, you'll see it very easily. -Screw in the thermostat housing at the front of the oven. -Frustrate yourself again by routing the wire while taking care not to bend the probe (This is my assumption not to bend it and I think it's a safe assumption to make) -Find that tiny little hold in the back of the range again, insert the probe through it, then use those recycled prongs to hook that probe into place. -Yay, you're almost done. -Reinsert knob on thermostat. -Turn gas and electricity back on. -Give it a test run to see if you did it right. -if it still doesn't work, then it might not have been the thermostat giving you problems. -If it does work, put everything back the way it was. -You're done.

Oven would not turn off due to inoperative thermostat
1st ensure thermostat is intact, I thought it was broken but upon further investigation I noticed that one of the screws that hold the thermostat in place had came loose which cause the thermostat knob not to be able to turn the thermostat stem. Re-installed thermostat mounting screw and it worked just fine.

Screws fell into a black hole and trouble threading the thermostate
My husband and I probably could have done the repair in 15 minutes except for the difficulty lifting up the range top, dropping the screws into the range where they could not be retreived, threading the thermostate into the little holes from the top to the inside of the oven and then trying to hook the range top back into place. Even with

Thank goodness we had 4 extra screws that worked (actually only takes 2 but of the 6 we had, 4 fell into a place you could not reach into). Glue on the end of the screw driver finally kept the screws from falling into the black hole. It was an adventure and would do it again.

The temperature of the oven was running wild.
The R&R of the defective thermostat was at first look relatively simple. The job was made more complicated because in order to remove the old thermostat and then route the new thermostat across the top of the stove, under the burners, and down through a small hole into the oven space I had to remove the whole top of the stove.

Oven came on by itself, finally burning out the igniter
Once I figured out how to get the top off it was not too bad. all of the screws and igniters for the burners had to be removed. The actual install of the thermostat was simple after that. The igniter was also an easy install. Overall, it takes more time to disassemble the stove to get to the problem than to install the part.
My Hotpoint gas oven became extremely hot after using it . Only after unplugging the electrical cord, turned it off. Replacing the control valve (thermostat) solved the problem. The stove top had to be pried up with a flat screw driver then propped up. Prying off the oven control valve revealed two mounting screws (philips

I have a good working basic GE stove/oven(no electronic displays). Electric start(igniter) stays on(glowing) entire time oven is on: Is this normal?(igniter does not cycle off after main burner ignites.) i am probably going to replace the "thermostat" because the oven sometimes turns on for a few seconds when in off position. Is the only thing controlling the oven; the termostat?, when you turn knob that is the thermostat or switch?
For model number JGBS07DEM1WW
Hello Paul, Thank you for your inquiry. The igniter stays on continuously while the burner is operating. It will turn off once the oven reaches the set temperature, then it will cycle on and off when needed to ignite the burner to maintain the oven set temperature. The thermostat is what establishes and maintains the oven temperature. The pressure regulator is what controls the flow of gas into the oven in conjunction with the safety valve-which lets the gas in for the ignitor to ignite it. When you turn the switch, all of these parts work together to ignite the stove. If your oven is coming on when the switch is off, I would have the regulator, safety valve and ignitor checked. Hope this helps!

The oven temperature in my gas stove keeps going up. I have reset the knob to a cooler temperature. I'm thinking the temperature probe/thermostat is the problem. I replaced this part 8 years ago. Just a few months ago i replaced the oven igniter. Is there any chance the igniter is the problem.
For model number WB20K8
Hi Michael,
Thank you for your question. If the oven is not heating correctly, then the issue is likely with the oven sensor, sometimes called the oven thermostat, and you will need to check it with a multimeter. When testing the sensor with a multimeter, the sensor should be tested at room temperature and it should be unplugged from the oven. You will need to measure the resistance between the two prongs at the end of the sensor connector. Replace the oven sensor if the reading is less than 900 Ohms or more than 1200 Ohms. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Our oven turns on even when turned off.We have replaced the thermostat and the timer/clock panel but still have the problem.
For model number JGBS23SEH3SS
Hi Linda, Thank you for the question. I suggest checking the Igniter, PartSelect Number PS952857. Sounds like it is defective and igniting on its own. This igniter will need to be replaced. Hope this helps!

First i'd like to test thermastat switch,cause while their was no continuity on igniter(which i'll order),the thermastat was replaced several months ago and i'm wondering on the thermastat running too hot would influence the igniter.Oh,and the gas safety valve had continuity of 1.0
For model number JGBS07PEH1WW
Hi Robert,
Thank you for your inquiry. The oven thermostat establishes and maintains the internal temperature of the oven cavity, so it would have an influence over the heat in the oven. The igniter kit is used to heat your oven. If you notice that your oven will not heat up properly, the igniter kit may need to be replaced. I would use a multimeter to check both parts to see which one is causing the issue. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

My oven temperature is not heating to correct temperature. Could it be the heating element or thermostat?
For model number JGBS04PEA6WH
Hello Tami, Thank you for your inquiry. The oven ignitor and oven thermostat are usually the top two parts to check. You can test the parts with a multimeter. If you are unfamiliar with how a multimeter functions, there are YouTube videos available to assist you. Good Luck with your repair!

Our GE gas range is taking two times longer than normal to heat up. It does generally get to the correct temperature eventually. Do you know what part might be causing this?Thanks,

For model number JGBS23WEL3WW
Hello Steve, Thank you for the question. I suggest testing the thermostat, Testing the thermostat sensor probe on your oven is easy. With the sensor at room temperature, measure the resistance between the two prongs at the end of the sensor connector. The resistance of the sensor should read approximately 1080 – 1090 ohms at room temperature. Thank you for your inquiry, good luck with this repair!

All valves off but get gas leak in the oven.
For model number jgas02sen4ss
Hello Max, thank you for writing. This is likely due to either a faulty Pressure Regulator, part number PS8754389, or Safety Valve, part number PS2339821 for your model range. You can test the resistance of the Safety Valve with a multimeter. It should read between 0-50 ohms of resistance to be functioning properly. Good luck with your repair!
