If your oven is not maintaining the set temperature, there are a few things you can do to check and possibly fix the issue:
  1. Check the calibration: Your oven may be calibrated incorrectly, which means the temperature sensor is not reading the correct temperature. To check this, you can purchase an oven thermometer and place it inside the oven. Let the oven preheat to 400 degrees and check the temperature reading on the thermometer. If the temperature is significantly different from what the oven is set to, then you may need to have the oven recalibrated by a professional.
  2. Check the gas supply: If your oven is propane-powered, you should check the gas supply to ensure it is not running low or has any blockages. A low gas supply can cause the oven to not heat up properly. If you suspect this may be the issue, contact a professional to check the gas supply.
  3. Check the oven door seal: If the oven door seal is damaged or worn, heat may be escaping from the oven and causing the temperature to drop. Check the seal for any signs of wear or damage, and replace it if necessary.
  4. Check the oven igniter: If the oven igniter is not working properly, the oven may not heat up at all or may not reach the desired temperature. You can check the igniter by looking for any signs of damage or wear, or by testing it with a multimeter. If the igniter is not working, it will need to be replaced.

If you are not comfortable checking these things yourself, it's always best to contact a professional to diagnose and fix the issue.

If your GE CGS986SELSS oven is not heating up to the set temperature, there may be a few possible causes. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:
  1. Check the oven calibration: The oven may be calibrated incorrectly, causing it to heat up to a lower temperature than what is set. You can check the calibration of the oven by using an oven thermometer. Place the thermometer in the oven and set the oven to a specific temperature. After the oven has preheated, check the temperature reading on the thermometer. If the temperature is significantly different from what you set, then the oven may need to be recalibrated.
  2. Check the oven igniter: The oven igniter may be faulty, preventing the oven from heating up to the correct temperature. If the igniter is not working properly, it will need to be replaced.
  3. Check the propane supply: If your oven is powered by propane, make sure that the propane supply is not running low or empty. Low propane pressure can cause the oven to heat up at a lower temperature than what is set.
  4. Check the gas valve: The gas valve may be faulty or not opening properly, causing the oven to heat up at a lower temperature than what is set. If the gas valve is not working properly, it will need to be replaced.

If you are not comfortable with troubleshooting or repairing the oven yourself, it's best to seek the help of a qualified technician. They can diagnose the issue and make the necessary repairs to get your oven working properly again.
