How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before internal sensor checks.
- Step 1 – Verify with thermometer: Place an oven thermometer in the basket and run a cycle to compare actual temperature to the set value.
- Step 2 – Inspect sensor placement: Ensure the NTC sensor is correctly clipped near the chamber wall and not hanging in a cooler area.
- Step 3 – Replace sensor: If readings are consistently low, replace the cabinet NTC sensor.
- Step 4 – Consider heater wear: If the sensor is accurate but heat is still low, the heater may be weakening; replace the heating element assembly.
