- Inadequate cooking of food within the expected duration
- Instances of overheating or abrupt interruptions in the cooking process
This OEM thermostat is additionally suitable for various models from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, as well as specific Kenmore versions.
