Possible Causes
Weak or partially failed heating element, Faulty temperature sensor, Poor door seal causing heat loss, Miscalibrated control module
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before testing components.
Checks:
- Use an accurate oven thermometer to compare actual temperature to the set temperature.
- Inspect the door gasket for gaps, tears, or compression; replace if not sealing properly.
- Test the bake and grill elements for correct resistance; replace any that are significantly higher than specification (indicating partial failure).
- Test the temperature sensor (NTC) resistance at room temperature and at a known elevated temperature; replace if readings are inconsistent.
- Some models allow temperature offset calibration in the settings menu; adjust according to the user manual if hardware is sound.
