Possible Causes

Broil element or burner cycling too frequently, Rack position too high, Temperature sensor misreading cavity temperature

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Use oven mitts when adjusting racks in a hot oven.

Steps to try:

  • Adjust rack position: Lower the rack one or two positions to move food away from the broiler.
  • Use bake vs broil: For most baking, use bake mode only. Reserve broil for top-browning at the end.
  • Check sensor: If the oven cycles the broiler excessively during bake, test the temperature sensor and replace if out of spec.
