Rangemaster Overheat Thermostat Tripping Prematurely

Oven interior light and fan work, but heating cuts out after a short time.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Weak overheat thermostat, Blocked cooling airflow, Cooling fan not running at full speed, Thermostat sensing poor airflow

Safety first: Turn off power and allow the appliance to cool.

1. Check vents and cooling fan: Ensure vents are clear and the cooling fan runs strongly during operation.
2. Inspect overheat thermostat: Access the thermostat on top of the oven cavity. Check for signs of heat damage.
3. Replace thermostat: If the oven cuts out at relatively low temperatures and restarts after cooling, the overheat stat may be weak and should be replaced.
4. Verify fan performance: Replace a slow or noisy cooling fan motor to improve airflow.
