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.
