GE Profile Inaccurate oven temperature regulation

Oven heats but does not reach set temperature or cooks food unevenly; temperature seems off by more than 25°F.

Possible Causes

Drifting oven temperature sensor, Failing EOC temperature calibration, Poor air circulation due to blocked vents or fan issues

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before removing panels or testing components.

  • Verify with thermometer: Place an oven-safe thermometer in the center of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Compare the displayed temperature to the thermometer reading after 20–30 minutes.
  • Adjust calibration: Many GE Profile ovens allow temperature calibration in the settings menu (e.g., +/- 35°F). Follow the user manual to adjust if the difference is consistent.
  • Check sensor: If the temperature is erratic, test the oven sensor resistance at room temperature (~1080 Ω). Replace if out of spec.
  • Inspect convection fan: For convection models, ensure the fan runs and the cover is not blocked by foil or pans.

Note: If large swings or overshoots occur, the EOC may need replacement.
