My 4 yr old Kenmmore Gas range started acting weird yesterday.

Set it and it would come up to temperature-- but wouldn't maintain the

lit.

I cooked a roast by turning it off and back on every 15 minutes or so
for a couple hours.

I ordered a $30 temperature sensor from repairclinic.com. *It will be
here Wed--

Just wondering if anyone has any other thoughts in the meantime.

Thanks

Now that you've included that it's a gas range, that brings up a whole
new batch of possible issues. If it's coming up the the correct temp and
then shutting off, the temp sensor is ok. Is this a pilot type or
intermittent ignition type of oven? Your issue here would seem to be in
getting the burner reignited when the temp has dropped by the hysteresis
amount.- Hide quoted text -

We spent a 60$ service call to find out that the automatic delayed
start
dial was set wrong. We've never used it, and it must have been pushed
over
to the wrong setting while being cleaned. Check and make sure it's not
something that silly. We sure did feel foolish, but were glad nothing
had
to be replaced. Just my 2 cents worth~~
