Oven temperature is too hot or burns food even when set correctly.

Safety First: If the oven overheats severely or will not shut off, turn off the breaker immediately.

• Check with thermometer: Use an oven thermometer to compare actual temperature to the set temperature. If consistently high, proceed with checks.
• Test sensor: With power off, measure sensor resistance at room temperature and at a known elevated temperature if possible. Replace the sensor if readings are out of spec.
• Inspect control relays: Remove the control panel and inspect the EOC for stuck or welded relays (burn marks, melted plastic). Replace the EOC if relays are suspect.
• Calibrate: Use the oven's calibration feature to reduce temperature offset if hardware is good but temperature is only slightly high.
