Sometimes it will heat up properly, other times it will stop at 270'. Also, sometimes it will heat up properly, then in the middle of cooking it will drop the temp. Whats wrong?
Re: Sometimes it will heat up properly, other times it...
Hi,
This can be a problem on the thermostat switch or in the heating element of your unit. YOu may have to test the unit using a multimeter to determine on which of this part is failing.

The temperature sensor in the oven needs to be replaced. Here is the part to order. As far as the top element, lift the top up and look for lose or broken wires on the element. Keep me posted.
If your oven has a digital timer then it is capable of being calibrated. Usually the oven is pretty close to accurate but can vary sometimes. In your user guide it may explain how to adjust the setting. You need to purchase a thermometer that you can put in your stove. Set it to 300 degrees and time how long it takes to stabilize. It is possible your stove will not get to 300 but to 270 or 280. If this is the case then the thermostat needs calibration. You can find out how to do this out of your guide or in the tech sheet that you should be able to find on line.
GE oven - SHUTS OFF ON IT'S OWN
I have a built-in GE Electric oven - model #JTP20B0F7BB. It shuts off in the middle of cooking sometimes, but not all of the time. It does it about 1 out of 4 times that I use the oven. Any help would be appreciated?
This sounds like a weak igniter, it would have to be a gas oven and the symtoms usually are: takes longer than normal to ignite the burner, may or may not smell gas in the oven, does not maintain set temperature, eventually won't heat at all. On gas ovens, a glo igniter is like a light bulb, the more you cook, the faster it wears out. Bottom line, needs to be replaced. Good luck.
It sounds likely that the fan motor is faulty,more so if the oven is heating to some extent.
You should be able to see or hear if the fan is working or not
Hope this helps with your prob.
What is a multimeter and where can i get one?
