Four burners instead of five is the quiet advantage of the HGS5057UC. This 500 Series model keeps the 30-inch width, so each burner gets each burner more room, so big pans stop competing for space. Together they produce 76,500 BTU. The 3.6 cu ft gas oven, with circulating air, follows the same design as the 800 Series, so baking is not compromised.
With age, the oven tends to show its own quirks. The temperature sensor may drift, leaving the oven cooler than the 350 on its display and slow to bake. The door gasket can harden and let heat out at the corners, and the broiler burner may light unevenly along its length.
On a visit, we put a thermometer on the middle shelf to compare it with the display, look at the gasket corners, and watch the broiler light. That sequence usually shows which part needs attention.
Most likely the temperature sensor has drifted and the oven holds less heat than it reports. A thermometer on the middle shelf confirms it, and replacing the sensor is routine.
No. Typically some ports on the broiler burner are clogged. We can inspect and clear them once the gas is off and the oven is cold.
Yes. A gasket that no longer seals lets heat escape at the corners of the door, which means longer bake times, a hotter kitchen and uneven results. Replacing the gasket is a small repair compared with those effects.
