How to Replace the Thermostat on a Kenmore Gas Range

Kenmore gas ranges are manufactured in a wide range of models, each with a distinct set of features. Every model is equipped with a thermostat that regulates the amount of heat the gas supply produces. If the thermostat is defective or damaged, the oven will not produce any heat. Replace the faulty thermostat with a new part to keep your Kenmore gas range working correctly.
