Possible Causes
Shorted temperature sensor, Stuck bake relay on EOC, Mis-calibrated control, Door not sealing properly
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before accessing internal components.
- Confirm with thermometer: Use an oven thermometer to verify that the oven is running significantly hotter than the set temperature.
- Inspect door seal: Check the door gasket and hinges for damage or misalignment that could affect temperature sensing.
- Test sensor: Measure the oven temperature sensor resistance at room temperature and at a known temperature. Replace if readings are incorrect.
- Control calibration: Reduce the oven temperature setting using the calibration feature if the oven is consistently off by a small amount.
- Replace EOC: If the sensor is good but the oven continues to overheat, the bake relay may be stuck. Replace the electronic oven control (EOC).
