My G.E. gas stove is about eight years old. The oven takes forever to reach 350 deg. Any ideas?
Here are the common causes.
1. First check that the bake and broil burners/ignitors are working. If not, you may have a bad ignitor.
2. If #1 is ok, then the burners must be short cycling, that is, they are ON for too short a time then OFF again.
#2 can be caused by either a bad temperature sensor or a failure in the control board.
The temperature sensor needs to be checked by disconnecting and measuring it's resistance.
If the sensor is good, then the problem is in the control board. We repair this particular problem with the controller quite often. If you want, I can have a look at it for you, if you can have it removed and sent to us.

Hello - Try resetting the unit by either unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. Wait approximately two minutes and turn the range back on. Select a normal bake cycle and if issue continues then the unit may possibly have either a faulty element, bad communication error with the main control board, oven sensor, or mechanical thermostat. I strongly suggest contacting a professional to move forward accurately. They also usually warranty their labor just in case something else may turn out to be the root cause of your initial problem and it does work out better to your advantage.
