How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before component testing.

  • Check door gasket: Inspect for gaps or tears. Replace the GE oven door gasket if it does not seal tightly.

  • Monitor with thermometer: Use an oven thermometer to confirm fluctuations. If swings are extreme despite good sensor and gasket, replace the EOC.
