“I have an electric Whirlpool that when set at 350 heats to 350 then cools to 225 before heating back up. This causes some thing to burn and others to take forever to cook. What is the guaranteed swing on this model?”

Hi MarkS - Thanks for considering GE Model # JTS5000DNBB! Gas and electric ovens will cycle on and off throughout the cycle to maintain the set temperature. When the oven temperature has dropped below the set temperature, the oven cycles on again to heat and will then cycle off again once it is higher than the set temperature. The goal is to maintain an average set temperature, but you will see a normal swing in temperatures throughout the cycle. This is typical of ovens, and is factored into how recipes are created and used. The amount the oven will cycle (either higher or lower than the set temperature) will vary, and each individual unit can be different. While we cannot provide exact temperature fluctuation ranges or variance, temperatures may vary from the set temperature by + 30 degrees to – 30 degrees. The temperature swing can also vary by how and where you are measuring the temperature in the oven, room temperature, door openings, etc. If you have any additional questions, don’t hesitate to ask. We are also happy to help at GEAppliances.com! Sue
