Safety Warning

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Failed oven temperature sensor (NTC probe), Shorted sensor wiring harness, Faulty electronic control board temperature circuit, Poor sensor connection at control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before accessing the sensor or control board.

  • 1. Confirm symptom: Use an oven thermometer to compare actual temperature to the set temperature. If the oven overshoots by more than 40–50°C, suspect the sensor or control.
  • 2. Locate the sensor: On most Fulgor Milano ovens, the temperature sensor is a thin metal rod protruding from the rear wall inside the cavity, usually upper left or upper center.
  • 3. Inspect and test sensor: Remove the mounting screw and gently pull the sensor forward. Disconnect the plug. Measure resistance at room temperature; typical NTC sensors read around 1000–1100 Ω at 20–25°C (check service documentation for exact spec). If reading is far off or shorted, replace the sensor.
  • 4. Check harness and connector: Inspect the sensor wiring from the cavity to the control board for cuts, pinched sections, or burnt connectors. Reseat the connector at the control board.
  • 5. Control board evaluation: If a new sensor does not correct the issue, the temperature regulation circuit on the main control board may be defective. Replacement of the board is required; due to calibration and high‑voltage traces, this is typically a technician‑level repair.
