Possible Causes
Oversensitive temperature sensor, Poor sensor placement or contact, EOC control algorithm behavior
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before accessing the sensor or control.
Steps:
- Verify with thermometer: Use an oven thermometer to confirm that average temperature is close to the setpoint despite cycling.
- Sensor check: Inspect the sensor mounting to ensure it is secure and not touching the oven wall directly. Replace the sensor if readings are erratic.
- Load considerations: Avoid opening the door frequently, which can exaggerate perceived cycling.
