My GE XL44 (Model # JGBP26GEN2AD) does not heat correctly. If I set the oven to 350 it only goes to 150??

That is not a valid model number, the issue is most likely the thermostat has failed. The part is about 12 dollars.

What is the model number of your unit?

Page 22
Of the service manual shows your diagram. The oven sensor should read 1100 ohms @room temp (75f) All these new fangled electronically controlled ovens use a sensor. The negative temp coefficient sensor relays back changes in resistance whenever the temp changes inside the oven. If that sensor is not correct, open, or shorted to frame then the control will not function properly.

I trust the door is sealed correctly. If heat is escaping this could be the problem. If the seal is okay the only thing it could be is the oven thermostat controller. It sounds like it is faulty and needs replacing.

The problem is usually the igniter not reaching the correct amp draw .When the igniter does not reach the correct amp draw it may allow the gas valve to partially open or not open at all. The igniters are inexpensive and easy to replace. This video will walk you thru the correct procedure for testing an oven igniter. It may be a different model but the testing will be the same.You can also enter your model # for diagrams and illustrations of your specific model. Not all models are available. All parts come with installation instructions.

I suspect a faulty ignitor. It must draw a certain amount of amps to open the gas valve

More than likely, its your oven thermometer thats taking a half hour to read correctly. The oven is probably getting there sooner. If you had a digital thermometer, the read would come quicker. So save your money,nothing wrong with your stove.

you have a bad oven sensor /faulty connection or bad control board.look for probe coming thru inside rear wall.should read 11k ohms cold.go bad a lot part number Hope this helps ,please rate my response :)

Hi, It very well could be the ignitor. Sometimes they work at first and then will not open the gas valve later in cycle. You can set the oven to heat and watch the ignitor. If it glows and the gas will not ignite in 30 to 45 seconds, the igniter is getting weak. I jope this helps.
Please let me know if I can assit you further.

I have not seen a regulator issue on a gas range, other than if one was not converted when Nat to LP gas (or vise versa) was done. At this point a repair person may have to be called to use a manometer to check gas pressures. They will check pressure at the oven burner orifice with at least one top burner on. The range does not have more than one burner setting. It's either on or off. For this issue, you may have the best luck contacting your gas supplier.
