Possible Causes
Warped or partially failed bake element, Inoperative convection fan (on convection models), Blocked air vents, Oven not level
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before accessing internal components.
- Check oven level: Use a spirit level on the oven rack. Adjust leveling legs so the oven is level front-to-back and side-to-side.
- Inspect bake element: Ensure the element is straight and heats evenly along its length. Replace if warped or with cold sections.
- Convection fan check: On convection models, start a convection bake and listen for the fan. If silent, access the rear panel, test the fan motor for continuity and voltage, and replace if faulty.
- Clear vents: Ensure that internal vents and fan covers are not blocked by foil or heavy buildup. Clean as needed.
