No sweat! Yeah, it's just so odd, I thought for sure it was going to be a homerun installing the new t-stats but they didn't do anything, feel like I'm losing my mind, ha. -

Terry Carmen replied to NHTech's topic in Appliance Service Manual Requests Forum
I think so. It' been a long time. There might be an adjustment screw down the center of the knob shaft below some paint you need to scrape off, but if you recently replaced it, I'd be inclined to order another one and send it back under warranty. It's off by a lot. Sorry I'm not more help. I haven't had to calibrate thermostat in a really long time. -

NHTech replied to NHTech's topic in Appliance Service Manual Requests Forum
Thanks Terry! Yeah, so I did indeed install a new thermostat but the problem remains, very strange... No issues with the knob. And I have the opposite issue in the left hand oven- temps are about 50-100 degrees too cold. I also changed the thermostat in that one and the issue is the same... Are these t-stats able to be calibrated? -

Terry Carmen replied to NHTech's topic in Appliance Service Manual Requests Forum
The new burner fixes a problem they had here only part of the "U" shaped burner would ignite. From the parts diagram, it looks like it uses a mechanical thermostat, so if you're sure it's a lot too hot, about all you can do is replace the thermostat. Or if you're adventurous, try calibrating it. PS. Make sure the knob isn't damaged or loose. I think it had a metal insert that would sometimes come out. -
Hello and thanks in advance, all! My dryer failed to start on Tuesday, and I can't seem to narrow down what is wrong - I'm a fairly capable handyman. All thermal fuses and thermostats I can see have continuity - I had two round ones on the heater box and a longer plastic one, another closer to the fan and lint duct, and a thing with 4 poles, one set had continuity, the other read 7.5Kohms, if I recall correctly. Belt is on the motor pulley and is intact. Door Switch functions as it should. Start button / signal select switch is good. (Continuity when pressed.) 240 volts available at the plug, 120 from each line, so neutral checks out too. I thought I was gonna crack this thing open, find a failed thermal fuse or thermostat and replace it, but I'm stumped and about ready to drag it back into the house and plug it in again and see if it was a fluke (Not enough room in the laundry 'hall' to work on it.) Am I missing something major or obvious? I'm hoping it's not the timer assembly, but not sure how to test that guy. Thanks again! --Matt

Thanks for that, unfortunately the main problem is the oven is consistently 100-150 degrees too hot. Completely stumped. -

Kenmore Range 911.4658711 Replacement Bake Element
lilbb posted a topic in DIY Appliance Repair Help
We replaced the bake element (WB44K5012) about 8.5 years ago with what was advertised as an OEM GE part. That replacement has just recently died and it needs replacing again. The GE part is now $35 more at around $55, plus $11.50 shipping for about $66.50 total. I found an aftermarket part that appears to be made by WEN for around $28, no shipping charge as I can get it shipped to a local store for free. Considering the GE element died after only 8.5 years (original by Roper lasted 28 years), is there any point in spending all that money on another GE part? Would there be any issues with using the aftermarket part? I generally try to use OEM, but if it's only going to last 8.5 years with not that much use, I don't know that it's worth it. The original element got heavy usage. -
