Viking oven temperature is consistently too high or too low compared to the set point.

Possible Causes

Sensor drift, EOC calibration offset incorrect, Poor rack placement affecting perceived temperature, Door gasket leakage

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Use oven-safe thermometers rated for high temperatures.

Steps:

  • Place an accurate oven thermometer in the center of the oven and preheat to a common temperature (e.g., 350°F). Record the actual temperature after stabilization.
  • Repeat the test at a second temperature (e.g., 450°F) to confirm consistent offset.
  • Consult the Viking user manual to adjust the oven temperature calibration (offset) through the control panel, typically in ±35°F range.
  • If calibration cannot correct the error or readings are inconsistent, test and replace the oven temperature sensor.
  • Inspect the door gasket for leaks that may affect temperature stability.
