How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker. Do not use the oven until the cause is identified.

  • Check with thermometer:
    • After restoring power briefly, compare set temperature to an oven thermometer reading.
  • Test sensor:
    • With power off, measure sensor resistance; replace if significantly low or unstable.
  • Inspect relays:
    • Check the main PCB for welded heater relays; replace the board if found.
  • Calibrate or reset:
    • Use the settings menu to reset temperature calibration to default.
  • If overheating persists, replace the main relay control board and inspect the high-limit thermostat.
