We have a 15 year Kenmore gas oven which have been totally reliable until immediately. I have partly baked brownies now, any concept on what is wrong with our oven? We've tried turning stale the oven and resetting a few times, but nothing help. Broiler is very hot though, do they work on impossible to tell apart pilot?
Sounds like you want a new oven. You get your fifteen years out of it. If it were newer, I'd utter call the warranty ancestors. But this is a 15-year-old oven -- time to go shopping.
My guess is that the feed tube to your oven have burned out due to the caustic spirit of natural gas and propane, over the years of use. Either that, or some munificent of blockage in the nurture tube. If the pilot to your broiler works, it should be igniting your gas lines inside your oven. I don't know of any make that used two pilots, the two areas are just controlled by a switch that allows gas to any or both at the same time.
The 140 degree is bothersome to me. It means you are getting some gas to the strip but not enough to provide the amount you hold set on the thermostat. It could be the thermostat--the temp switch that controls your heat, but I doubt it. Still sounds close to either within is an unwanted hole in your nurture (and if so, I wouldn't be there near you when you let it try to work), or in attendance is blockage that is preventing adequate gas from getting to the burners.
Sounds like a charge for a professional to me.
Answers: Sounds like a thermostat or gas tap problem problem to me. Shut the oven off & shift next door and finish the brownies!! Their might not be a pilot wishy-washy at all, most newer stoves (even those 15 years old) enjoy a ignitor that glows bright red that turns on when the oven first lights. When the oven reach it's target temperature, the gas spigot shuts down to a lower flow to maintain the heat & goes complex when needed.
You'll probably have to call upon the pros out to fix it.
