Why do my stove top burner come on full heat no matter what the temperature switch setting is? I have a Westinghouse 518 stove.

SOURCE: Westinghouse Stove - Freestyle 143.

The control switches for these elements have failed and will need to be replaced.

SOURCE: Oven wont work at all.

Convection oven and Bake will not heat past 200degrees. Broiler works fine and the range works fine.This is for the Model # MGR5875QDW, Gas Precision Touch Control 800, can you help. Thanks Kasz3

check the burner socket, it is likely that contact is being lost where the burner connects to the hardwired portion of the system (the socket). It is not unusual for the socket to "burn up" when there is a poor connection to the burner resulting in the burner being replaced and the new burner not working or working intermittently.

Please take the time to rate this solution

it seems the burner in the oven is clogged, by grease, carbon or corrosion, it may need replacing, specialy if this is an older unit

there is a problem with either the elements or the controls,i doubt it is the elements as its unlikely that all of them are faulty at once.the control knobs or control panel is more likely the problem.
