Morphy Richards oven heats but does not reach the set temperature; food takes much longer to cook.

Safety first: Disconnect power before testing components.

Steps:

• Verify with thermometer: Use an oven thermometer to compare actual temperature to the set value.
• Inspect elements: Look for cold spots or uneven glow on elements. Replace any main oven elements that are visibly damaged or reading out of spec.
• Check door seal: Inspect the oven door gasket for gaps, tears, or compression. Replace if it does not seal evenly.
• Test sensor: Measure the resistance of the temperature sensor at room temperature and at a known elevated temperature (e.g., 100°C in boiling water, if removable). Replace if readings are outside spec.
• Calibration: Some Morphy Richards models allow temperature offset adjustment in the settings menu. Adjust according to the user manual if hardware is sound.
