The temperature probe is in your oven attached to (probably) the rear wall
near the oven's ceiling. When the thermostat fails, it is likely due to a
failure of the probe. You can get replacement parts, but it's best to go
through a good appliance dealer or repair service to get the work done.
Sometimes, it's more efficient to replace the stove.

Electric stoves have upper elements in the oven box that serve as broilers.
Gas stoves have broilers in the compartment below the oven, where the fire
for the oven is already situated. Sometimes the broilers are at the top of
the stove, where the gas units of the cooktop have been designed to do
double duty. I can't imagine why else you would want an "upper burner" on a
gas stove.

Would I DIY a gas stove? NO! Your gas appliance connections might have to
pass a safety inspection before the gas supply can be turned on, and if
you're jiggering your own appliances you may be setting yourself up for gas
leaks or explosion and fire risks.

how does the thermostat control the gas valve when tempreture overshot?
the reason i asked for the upper gas burner(element)is bcos some baking need
upper tempreture more than lower temppreture,in electric oven you can have
seperated upper or lower element,but in gas oven case,how can we get it?
I was told that industrial/commercial gas oven does have upper and lower
burner element,is that right?cos i haven't seen one like that before.
i feel that gas oven tends to generate more moisture(gas?)than electric
type(tends to be dry type)and resulting of different
quality for the baked product.
is the any book or web site i can learn more about gas oven?
thanks
