Hi,
I have a GE Wall oven that is a JKS05 model. It could be 10+ years old. The pre-heating temperature light does not come on. I replaced the Bake element and the pre heat light still does not come on ... the oven does heat at a very low temp though it just dosn't get very hot.
The light does work ... On Broil the light comes on ... on Time Bake .. the oven comes on but the oven just heats up slightly and not to the desired temperature.
Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated ... the oven going out just before Turkey Day is not good timing.
Thanks

Hello Wookie and Welcome to the Do-It-Yourself Web Site and the Electric Appliances Forum Topic.
Check the settings and selections. Oven may be set in the "Keep Warm" or "Pre Heat" cycle or stuck in one of those cycles, if the oven has either or both of these options.
Also possible the circuit board, if equipped, is defective. Be sure the temperature sensing element is properly located and held correctly in the two securing clips, etc.
For more detailed information read the recent postings within this forum. The questions already asked describe like or similarly related problem descriptions as your question. Those prior postings and all the replies offered within them contain almost all the required information needed.
Read the help information topic note pertaining to the appliance at the top of this forum for additional help.
Additional Help and Suggestions:
Read some of the existing posts in this forum. In them will have additional ideas and or suggestions, along with repairs procedures, etc.
Read the manufacturers online web site for additional product information, problem possibilities, causes, solving methods, part locations, disassembly, reassembly methods, repair procedures, pictorials, schematics, downloadable repair and or owners manuals, which may be available online.
Search the manufacturers web site for a downloadable version of the owners or service manual. The file will be a pdf file opened with Adobe, which also needs to be downloaded first but worth having once obtained.
Retail appliance parts dealers can also help determine what the possible problem may be. Bring the make, model and serial numbers. Appliance part stores and parts dealers are listed in the phone book.
Check back on your question several more times. Other members and moderators posting replies in this forum topic may offer you additional advice, suggestions and or repair methods.
