Re: Whirlpool AKP951 top oven not heating properly

Also, does the thermostat light go out at any time when you have it set to 200 and above?
Hi, I’ve just tested what you’ve suggested, bottom gets hot enough not to touch after about 5-8 mins, I can instantly feel heat coming down from the top. The thermostat light turned off but after opening the oven to check the temp it came back on again, so that’s recognising the drop in temp.
I left it on for 16 mins at 200c & it just managed to go slightly over 100c
