Oven not heating to correct temperature

I have a Kitchen Aid Stove Model KES c307hwh4 and it isn't heating properly in the oven.  When I turn the oven on, the element doesn't completely turn red.  Plus I bought a oven thermometer and when the oven beeps at 350--the store bought thermometer shows a temperature of 250 degrees.  Do I need a new element or is it a "brain" problem?

    This is not a new stove so why would we have a voltage problem now?

    we thought that the element went out and bought another one and installed it but it gets red hot at 350 then only stays warm

    Model A-BS45D F1WS. Just brought this model home yesterday and it heated to 375 degrees. Burners work just fine. Today oven heating light comes on till 250 degrees then goes off. Won't heat up. Light comes back on at 500 degrees and for broil but neither element heats up and turns red.

First thing that should be checked is proper voltage.  Low voltage can cause this problem.  Have that checked by a professional first then let me know what you find.

    I didn't say you did have a voltage problem for sure.  This is the first thing that should be checked in the diagnosis process for this type of complaint.

Kitchen Aid convection oven doesn't reach pre-heating set temperature

There are a few other things you can try to troubleshoot this issue:
  1. Check the oven gasket: If the gasket around the oven door is worn or damaged, it could be letting heat escape from the oven, which can prevent it from reaching the desired temperature.
  2. Check the oven igniter: If the oven igniter is faulty, it may not be able to draw enough current to ignite the gas and heat the oven. You can test the igniter with a multimeter to see if it is working properly.
  3. Check the oven thermostat: The thermostat regulates the temperature inside the oven. If it is faulty, it may not be able to maintain the desired temperature. You can test the thermostat with a multimeter to see if it is working properly.
  4. Check the control board: The control board regulates the oven's heating elements and can be a source of problems if it is faulty. You can test the control board with a multimeter to see if it is working properly.
If none of these solutions work, it may be best to call a professional technician to diagnose and fix the problem.

Kitchen Aid Stove goes into clean mode

The F3 E2 error code indicates that the electronic oven control board in the range senses an over-temperature condition in the oven.

This can be caused by a failed temperature sensor probe, a wiring problem between the sensor and the control board, or a failed electronic oven control board.
If the oven is apparently not overheating when this error code appears, then your likely failure is the temperature sensor probe.
If the oven is overheating, then you likely have a failed electronic oven control board due to a stuck relay not cycling the oven heating element off properly.


For replacement parts - head on over to PartSelect.com or RepairClinic.com and enter in your full model number for a full parts listing.
I recommend both sites because ...


FixYa has no affiliation with either site - I have been using and recommending them for years - trouble free.

PartSelect has a great schematic database for locating the part on your unit and great "testimonials" for each part that often times includes HOW-TO information.
RepairClinic has pictures of each part they sell and also a great how-to and troubleshooting for basic repairs.


If your unit has never been serviced - there should still be an original service manual enclosed in plastic taped to the inside of the shell.
In the service manual are Error codes, maintenance procedures, and troubleshooting steps you can follow.


Anything too complicated or beyond your scope should be handled by a professional.

If you think you want to tackle the repair - and have gotten stuck on a step - reply to your question and I will be glad to help you out.
