Possible Causes

Weak or partially failed bake element, Convection fan not running (in convection mode), Faulty oven temperature sensor, Incorrect calibration in EOC

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Turn off power before removing panels or elements.

  • Verify actual temperature:
    • Use an oven thermometer placed in the center of the oven.
    • Compare reading after 20–30 minutes to the set temperature.
  • Inspect bake element:
    • Look for hot spots, blisters, or cracks.
    • Test resistance; replace the Bake Element if open or significantly out of spec.
  • Check convection fan (if equipped):
    • In convection mode, listen for the fan; if not running, test and replace the Convection Fan Motor as needed.
  • Test oven sensor:
    • Measure RTD resistance at room temperature (~1050–1100 Ω).
    • Replace the Oven Temperature Sensor (RTD) if out of range.
  • Calibrate temperature (if available):
    • Many Frigidaire Professional ovens allow temperature offset adjustment in the settings menu.
    • Adjust by ±10–35°F to match actual temperature.
