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.
