Possible Causes
Faulty electronic thermostat on PCB, Poor sensor contact with cavity, Loose sensor mounting, Electrical noise affecting control circuit
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing internal components.
- Check sensor mounting: Ensure the temperature sensor is firmly fixed to the cavity wall and not loose.
- Inspect wiring: Reseat the sensor connector on the control PCB and ensure good contact.
- Compare with thermometer: Use an oven thermometer to confirm the extent of fluctuation.
- Replace control PCB: If the sensor is good and mounted correctly but fluctuations remain excessive, the thermostat circuit on the control PCB may be faulty and require replacement.
