no problem with the top burners - but the oven does not maintain temperatures between 325 and 400. Even at 400 it will just turn off. no problem with the top burners - but the oven does not maintain temperatures between 325 and 400. Even at 400 it will just turn off.

oven sometimes gets to temp sometimes no broiler works fine oven sometimes gets to temp sometimes no broiler works fine

We have a GE Spectra XL44 and problem seems to be when we preheated the oven to 350 degrees (if it ever gets there, it beeps let you know it's preheated, right). Well, go to find out it's not at 350 degrees, it's at 275 degrees. What's going on with theses ovens????????? A neighbor told me to unplug it for 3 hours and plug it back in ( a computer error or something). I would like to know the PROBLEM SO I CAN COOK!!!!!!!!!!!

have a XL44 and the thermocoupler will not maintain set point temperture. I think the thermocoupler is bad. need a replacement. have a XL44 and the thermocoupler will not maintain set point temperture. I think the thermocoupler is bad. need a replacement.

We also have a GE XL44 that does not maintain its temperature range and the gas seems to be leaking... the smell is awful! We also have a GE XL44 that does not maintain its temperature range and the gas seems to be leaking... the smell is awful!

Hi,

We are experiencing the same problem. Our range is 6 years old and the oven has never worked right. We have had the ignitor replaced about a year ago. It worked ok for a while then it would not heat up beyond 100 deg. When it does come up to temp it shuts down and you have to reset. We are ready to junk it and buy another brand. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks -

My over in about 4 years old. I set oven to 350 it beeps ready, it's not though it's about 275-300. This darn thing will not maintain heat either. It's at 400 but is cooking at 300. Not good for chicken. I don't see any answers here. Are there? My over in about 4 years old. I set oven to 350 it beeps ready, it's not though it's about 275-300.

We have the same issue. Set pre-heat to desired Temperature. Beeps and indicates it is at temperature but is really only sustaining a much lower temp.

Same thing here! Although I have noticed that if I switched from the regular oven setting to the convection setting the oven heats up to the correct temperature setting. I've contacted GE and am waiting to see what they are going to do about this problem....I'll let you know if I get a good answer....in the meantime, it would probably be helpful if everyone having this problem would also contact GE and demand they stand behind their product!
