Overheating oven??

[jennielynn1970]

The manual says something about a temperature sensor. Found that on a Goggle search too. Not sure what something like that costs. Ugh. There's no warranty on it, it was bought in 2001 by the previous owners.

The gas line that is behind the stove should have a valve on it, that is the gas cut off.

I've never pulled the stove out from the place where it's at. Kinda a scary thought. Lord knows what is under it. Ick.

I'll call a tech tomorrow.

If it lives under a stove, it was food at one time and dead now-or you cat played with it.

Gird you loins and check it out!

My parents had some sort of issue with their oven that sounds similar. I'll point my mom in this direction

Its not specifically good if your gas oven starts beeping like crazy and displaying error messages. But yea, turn off the gas to the stove and call your appliance company to get it looked at, I wouldn't trust it until its fixed.

Yes our oven started beeping an error message a few months ago. If you still have your handbook that came with the oven - it might have the "error codes" listing like mine did. It told me that the temperature sensor needed replacing. I went to several appliance parts places at google and entered the model and make, then ordered the part. It was only about $25 for mine and was easy to fix. There was a plate in the back of the oven to screw off and plug in the sensor. It was a needle looking part - a thermostat essentially. I had to reset the panle where the error code beeps and that was that! The part can likely be ordered from the manufacturere or one of the appliance parts houses - many to choose from. I used one called http://www.repairclinic.com/ fault codes at http://www.repairclinic.com/0078.asp and there are forums there also. Another place I like to look is http://www.doityourself.com/ - you can post your problem there and folks will answer pretty quickly. List the make and model number and someone will try to help.
