KitchenAid KERI203PBS Oven. I set to 400, it only gets to about 325.

My keri203pbs isn't heating properly. Set oven to 400 and gets to about 325. I replaced the temperature sensor with one from Amazon. Now set to 400 it gets to 215. Is that a bad temperature sensor or is there another part I should replace too?

I dont have the 205. And on regular bake, the fan shouldn't be running. Only on convection I thought?
ADMIN Andrew Apr 07, 2022

Google sent me there. Here is the 203. It has 3 elements, bottom, broil and convection.

Lots of obsolete parts on this one as well. Does it reach temperature on other modes, convection and broil? If it does, check if the bottom element gets glowing red after 5 minutes of being on? That would suggest the element is faulty, but in my experience the work or they don't. $93 is a lot to fork out on a hunch. Or that thermostat sensor is faulty. I would call for service as nothing makes sense.

Question edited for clarity, the MAKER, and 'what is is'.
Question moved to KitchenAid.

You may have a bad sensor. Not sure Amazon is the best place to buy. A lot of parts are no longer available, so you should perhaps be thinking of a replacement?

Is the fan spinning okay? This suggests a bad fan. It has a small circular element around the fan.

Temp shows 400 but oven is at 300

Is it continues to heat up then its working fine...if it continues to heat pass 400 then your have a thermostat problem and the oven is out of control. I do believe that the display is not an actual reading of the oven temperature, instead it is a reading of where the operator has set the temperature to . I have yet to see an oven with a actual reading temperature display.

How do I use the thermometer in my Kitchenaid Superba?

I found the answer by checking the Kitchenaid website to find the manual. My model is KEMS308sss04, this is found on the right door frame. Website is: http://shop.kitchenaid.com/assets/pdfs/literature/Use%20and%20Care%20Guide%20-%20W10162223.pdf
You can preheat oven, but then turn off to set thermometer. Put probe in food. Put food in oven and plug in probe. The digital light asks for the temperature you want, type it in. Then the cooking method. I used convection bake at 325. Hit START. (The first time I didn't stop the oven and it didn't work. After stopping everything and starting with the probe before turning on the oven, it worked perfectly. Good Luck.

Ovens won't heat up beyond 250 degrees.

if you cant program it for more than the 270 you may have changed it from farienhiet ( bad spelling) to celcius. pushing and holding broil may switch it back.

Kitchenaid superba electric oven kebc107kss05

Did this with me twice now on self clean. It's the thermostat on the back of the oven. Set to trip when oven gets too hot which happens with self clean. Part is about $45 - $50 and pretty simple to install. Hardest part is pulling the oven out of the wall.

Kitchenaid model KEMS307G. Latch would not open after self-clean. Tech removed latch. Oven-microwave functional. He replaced latch mechanism, now control panel doesn't work.drawing 240v. not 80v. Tech claims latch mechanism melted. Oven/microwave worked fine before and after latch removal. It now appears the control panel is bypassed and oven is wired direct. Cannot shut oven off, only at circuit breaker.
