Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker and allow the oven to cool completely before inspection.
Step-by-step checks:
- Check ventilation: Ensure that the oven's rear and top vents are not blocked by cabinetry, foil, or other obstructions.
- Inspect sensor: Check the sensor for physical damage or dislodgement from its mounting point.
- Measure sensor resistance: After cooling, measure the sensor resistance at room temperature and compare to spec. Replace if out of range.
- Check relays: If the oven continues to heat when it should be off, the bake or broil relay on the control board may be stuck closed, requiring board replacement.
When to replace parts: Replace the oven temperature sensor if readings are incorrect. If overheating is due to a stuck relay, replace the electronic oven control board.
