Oven bakes unevenly; one side of food is overcooked while the other is undercooked.

Safety First: Turn off power before accessing internal components.

• Check element shape: Inspect the bake element for warping or sections that do not glow evenly. Replace if deformed or partially heating.
• Verify convection: If your Insignia oven has convection, start a convection cycle and confirm the convection fan runs. Replace the fan motor if it does not operate.
• Rack usage: Use the rack positions recommended in the Insignia manual for your recipe. Avoid placing pans too close to the door or back wall.
• Insulation check: If one side of the oven wall feels significantly hotter from the outside, internal insulation may be compromised and should be inspected by a professional.
