The General Electric WB20K8 Range Thermostat Assembly regulates oven temperature to support stable heating during cooking cycles. This thermostat assembly functions as a temperature-sensing component that monitors internal oven conditions and signals the heating system to adjust output as needed. It operates through a sensing mechanism that responds to temperature changes, helping manage heat levels according to the selected setting. Installed within the control area of compatible ranges, it connects to the temperature control system and internal wiring to regulate heating elements. By maintaining proper temperature balance, this component supports consistent cooking conditions and assists in preventing overheating during typical oven operation.
