Possible Causes

Faulty temperature sensor (probe), Stuck heater relay, Miscalibrated control board, Shorted wiring causing element to stay on

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before testing components.

  • Verify with thermometer: Place an oven-safe thermometer inside and compare actual temperature to the set temperature.
  • Check sensor: Measure resistance of the oven temperature sensor at room temperature and at a known higher temperature (e.g., 100°C after heating). Compare with specifications.
  • Inspect relays: On the relay board, check if a heater relay is stuck closed (signs of melting or discoloration).

Repair: Replace the temperature sensor if readings are incorrect. If the sensor is good, replace the relay board or main control board responsible for temperature regulation.
