Whirlpool Oven temperature not accurate
01 - Whirlpool Oven/Microwave Combo Bake Element
When the bake element is heating properly, it glows red hot. If the element does not glow red, this indicates that the element is not heating. Often, if the heating element has burned out, it will be visibly damaged. Inspect the heating element for holes or blisters. To determine if the bake element has burned out, use a multimeter to test the element for continuity. If the bake element does not have continuity, replace it.

02 - Whirlpool Oven/Microwave Combo Control Board
An oven's control board will often be used to send voltage to the bake and broil elements or the igniters to heat the oven to the designated temperature. When a temperature sensor senses that the oven has reached the appropriate temperature, the control board should shut off the voltage to the heating circuit. If the control board is defective, the voltage may be shut off too early or not at all, resulting in an inaccurate oven temperature. You should test the temperature sensor and other components first before considering replacing the control board. If you confirm the other components are working properly, you can inspe...

03 - Whirlpool Oven/Microwave Combo Igniter
The igniter draws electrical current through the gas valve to open it. As the igniter weakens over time, it takes longer to open the gas valve. As a result, the oven temperature will drop too low before the burner reignites. The oven temperature should not drop more than 40 degrees Fahrenheit before the igniter relights the burner.

04 - Whirlpool Oven/Microwave Combo Control Module
A gas oven's control module will often be used to send voltage to the igniters to heat the oven to the designated temperature. When a temperature sensor senses that the oven has reached the appropriate temperature, the control module should shut off the voltage to the heating circuit. If the module is defective, the voltage may be shut off too early or not at all, resulting in an inaccurate oven temperature. You should test the temperature sensor and other components first before considering replacing the control module. If you confirm the other components are working properly, you can inspect the module for signs of damag...

05 - Whirlpool Oven/Microwave Combo Ignition Module
For gas ovens using a spark igniter, a faulty ignition module could be responsible for the oven only heating intermittently, resulting in an inaccurate oven temperature. If you do not consistently see a spark near the bake or broiler burner tube when the oven is turned on, use a multimeter to determine if voltage is reaching the ignition module. If power is present, the ignition module is likely defective and will need to be replaced.

06 - Whirlpool Oven/Microwave Combo Broil Element
The broil element may have burned out. When the broil element is heating properly, it glows red hot. If the element does not glow red, this indicates that the element is not heating. Often, if the element has burned out, it will be visibly damaged. Inspect the broil element for holes or blisters. To determine if the broil element has burned out, use a multimeter to test the element for continuity. If the broil element does not have continuity, replace it.
