Possible Causes

Aged oven temperature sensor, Control calibration drift, Incorrect rack position or pan type affecting readings

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Allow oven to cool before accessing sensor.

  • Verify with thermometer: Use an accurate oven thermometer to compare actual temperature to the set temperature over several cycles.
  • Adjust calibration: Many GE Profile models allow temperature adjustment in the settings menu (e.g., +/- 35°F). Follow the user manual to calibrate.
  • Inspect sensor: If calibration cannot correct large errors, test the oven sensor resistance and replace if out of spec.
  • Avoid foil on bottom: Do not cover the oven bottom with foil, which can affect temperature regulation.
