Default Magic Chef Oven Problems
Brand: Magic Chef
Model Number: 38FA-3TX
Age: More than 10 years

I've got quite an issue going on right now....
My old Magic Chef oven has been having problems getting, or staying, at temperature. Sometimes it will work fine, other times, it might start going up to the set temperature, only to stop around 150. The control board has been replaced, probably 10 years ago and the stove itself probably 19 years old. We're guessing it might be the relay board this time, but that's just a guess. I hate like hell to put more money into it, but chances are we're going to be relocating soon and I don't want to spend the money on a new one, only to leave it behind.

Help/Suggestions would be appreciated.

I don't think that the relay board is your problem.

The relay board is controlled by the clock control.

Does the clock display any codes?

Here is a link to your range model 38FA-3TX.

Thanks Sheila....
I was afraid of that. I've seen a code a few months back, but can't remember for the life of me what it was. As we're also having problems with the clock/over temperature blanking out, the control board is probably the culprit. Don't think I can spend that type of money on that old of a stove. I guess I new stove is in order.
