[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 1315980, member: 7900"] [FONT="Georgia"][SIZE="3"]Thermocouples are for appliances that have a pilot light. Most appliances sold for the last few years, perhaps even decades, are electronic ignition. Besides, a bad thermocouple wouldn't even allow an appliance to light, let alone heat up to 102 degrees. The only appliance that I can think of that may still use thermocouples are hot water heaters. My guess that there is some form of thermostat that is malfunctioning by getting a false temperature reading, causing the premature shutoff. Now, having said all that, it has been ages since I did much with gas ovens. My experience dates back to the days when there were pilot lights. .[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
