Possible Causes

Drifted oven temperature sensor, Faulty electronic oven control calibration, Poor door seal causing heat loss, Incorrect rack or pan placement affecting airflow

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before accessing internal components.

  • Verify with thermometer: Place an oven-safe thermometer in the center of the oven and preheat to 350°F (175°C). Compare the displayed temperature to the thermometer reading after 15–20 minutes.
  • Adjust calibration: Many Danby ranges allow temperature calibration in the settings menu (e.g., +/- 35°F). Follow the user manual to adjust if the difference is consistent.
  • Inspect door gasket: Check the oven door gasket for gaps, tears, or flattening. Replace if it does not seal evenly all around.
  • Check sensor: Test the oven temperature sensor resistance at room temperature (~1050–1100 Ω). Replace if out of range.
