How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power and allow the oven to cool.

Steps to check:

Verify that the temperature sensor probe is properly mounted and not hanging loose inside the cavity.
Measure the sensor resistance at room temperature; a very low reading suggests a shorted sensor that will cause overheating.
On models with mechanical thermostats, check the thermostat capillary bulb placement and ensure it is not dislodged.
If the sensor/thermostat is correct, the heating relay on the main PCB may be welded closed, keeping elements on continuously; replace the board.

Warning: Do not continue using an oven that overheats; it is a fire risk.

Oven overheats, burning food even at low temperature settings.
