How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before touching the convection fan or elements.

Steps:

  • Verify that the convection fan runs when convection mode is selected. If not, test and replace the convection fan motor.
  • Inspect the bake element for warping or sections that do not glow evenly. Replace if damaged.
  • Ensure racks are level and not bent. Avoid placing large pans against the walls; allow air circulation.
  • Check oven calibration with a thermometer and adjust offset or replace the sensor if necessary.
