Gas thermostats on
cookers are designed to help you have complete control over the temperature of
your appliance. Unfortunately, as with any part on your cooker, things can go
wrong and parts may need replacing.
A question we get asked
a lot is why are gas oven thermostats so important? The simple answer is that
they allow you to have maximum control over the temperature of your oven. This
is to ensure you don’t burn anything and don’t cause any unnecessary damage to
other important components on your cooker. The reason they allow you to control
the temperature of your oven is thanks to the thermostat phial that it attached
to them. This phial is in the oven itself and has a small amount of gas in it.
This gas expands and contracts according to the temperature allowing you to
adjust the temperature as you wish.
The most common problem
with oven thermostats that we see is the thermostat phial not registering the
temperature of the cooker correctly, meaning your cooking will be disrupted as
the appliance is unable to tell what temperature your cooker is operating at.

range of oven thermostats for you to choose from that will have your cooker
back to its normal self in no time at all. Take this GTS 1388 for example. It is
