Possible Causes

Aging oven temperature sensor, Control calibration drift, Poor rack placement or airflow, Door gasket leaks causing heat loss

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Use proper oven mitts when handling thermometers or racks in a hot oven.

  • Verify with thermometer: Place an oven-safe thermometer in the center of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Compare the displayed temperature to the thermometer reading after 20–30 minutes.
  • Adjust calibration: Many Dacor controls allow temperature offset adjustment (e.g., ±35°F). Refer to your user manual to enter calibration mode and adjust accordingly.
  • Inspect sensor: If the offset required is large (>25°F), test the oven sensor resistance and replace if out of spec.
  • Check door gasket: Inspect the door gasket for gaps, tears, or compression. Replace if it does not seal evenly.
