Possible Causes

Partially failing heating element, Incorrect mains supply voltage, Heat loss through damaged door seal, Temperature sensor drift

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate power before internal checks.

  • Check door seal: Inspect the rubber gasket around the door for gaps, tears, or hardened sections. Replace if it does not seal evenly all around.
  • Test elements: Measure resistance of fan, top, and bottom elements and compare to typical values. Replace any element significantly higher in resistance or showing hot spots.
  • Verify supply: Ensure the oven is wired correctly to the specified supply (single or double phase as per Caple installation instructions). Low voltage can slow heating.
  • Check sensor: If the oven stops heating early, test and replace the temperature sensor if it reads incorrectly.
