When the bulbs’ liquid gets heated up, it expands and puts pressure on a diaphragm which opens and closes a switch that allows power to the heating element. Just set the dial to what you need the temperature to be. Over time, it is possible for your thermostat to lose its calibration. > Digital display models use a sensor to control temperature. If this is faulty, replace it. Other ovens use a mechanical system to control the temperature. On many models, you can adjust your oven thermostat using a small screwdriver.
