Possible Causes

Partially failed bake element, Faulty oven temperature sensor, Poor door gasket seal, Incorrect oven calibration in control

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before testing components.

  • Check elements:
    • Verify both bake and broil elements glow during preheat (many Frigidaire Professional ovens use both).
    • Test elements for proper resistance and replace any that are open or significantly out of spec.
  • Test sensor:
    • Measure oven sensor resistance at room temperature (~1050–1100 Ω).
    • Replace the oven temperature sensor if out of range.
  • Inspect door gasket:
    • Check for tears, gaps, or hardened sections.
    • Replace the oven door gasket if it does not seal evenly.
  • Calibrate oven:
    • Use an oven thermometer to compare set vs. actual temperature.
    • Adjust the temperature offset in the user settings if your model supports it.
