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.
