Haier
Temperature Calibration / Sensor Drift
Oven heats, but temperature is significantly inaccurate (too hot or too cold compared to set temperature).

Possible Causes
Aged or drifting oven temperature sensor, Control board calibration offset, Poor rack placement or blocked airflow, Incorrect installation of sensor after previous repair
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Use an oven-safe thermometer to verify temperature; avoid touching hot surfaces.
Step-by-step checks:
- Verify with thermometer: Place an accurate oven thermometer in the center of the middle rack. Preheat to 180°C (350°F) and allow 15–20 minutes to stabilize. Compare actual to set temperature.
- Check multiple points: Test at different setpoints (e.g., 150°C and 220°C) to see if the error is consistent.
- Inspect sensor placement: Ensure the sensor probe is properly mounted and not touching the oven wall.
- Control calibration: Many Haier ovens allow temperature offset adjustment in the settings menu (e.g., ±35°F). Refer to the user manual to adjust if the error is small and consistent.
- Sensor test: If the error is large or inconsistent, test the sensor resistance at room temperature and compare to spec.
When to replace parts: Replace the oven temperature sensor if readings are out of spec. If the sensor is good but calibration cannot correct the issue, the control board may need replacement.
