Possible Causes

Aging oven temperature sensor, Control calibration offset incorrect, Poor air circulation in oven cavity, Incorrect rack placement affecting readings

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before removing the sensor if testing or replacing.

  • Verify with thermometer: Use an accurate oven thermometer to compare actual temperature to the set temperature over several cycles.
  • Adjust calibration: Many Thermador ovens allow temperature offset adjustment in the settings menu (e.g., ±35°F). Follow the user manual to calibrate.
  • Sensor test: If the offset required is large (>25°F), test the sensor resistance at room temperature and replace if out of spec.
  • Airflow: Avoid blocking convection vents with large pans and ensure racks are placed per recipe recommendations.
