Possible Causes

Convection fan not operating, Blocked airflow by oversized cookware, One heating element weaker than the other, Oven not level

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow the oven to cool before adjusting racks or checking fan operation.

  • 1. Use convection mode: If available, use convection to improve heat circulation. Verify that the convection fan runs.
  • 2. Avoid blocking airflow: Do not place large pans against the back wall or over the fan cover. Leave space around cookware.
  • 3. Check elements: Confirm that both bake and broil elements heat evenly. Replace any element with visible cold spots.
  • 4. Level the oven: Use a spirit level on the rack and adjust the range feet so the oven is level front-to-back and side-to-side.
