Replacing the GE Profile Gas Slide-in Oven Thermostat

GE Profile slide-in gas ovens are built with contoured sides to allow them to be easily installed between cabinets and counter tops. The thermostat monitors and regulates the temperature inside the oven by controlling the amount of heat produced by the gas supply. If the thermostat fails to work correctly, the oven will either run too hot or cold, or not heat at all. Replace the faulty thermostat with a new one to keep your GE Profile gas oven working properly.
