Possible Causes
Failed lower or upper element, Weak or cycling thermostat, Heat loss through damaged door seal, Incorrect shelf positioning blocking airflow
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before testing elements.
- Element check: Turn on different modes (top heat, bottom heat, fan). Observe which elements glow or heat. Test each heating element for continuity.
- Door seal: Inspect the gasket around the door. Replace the Hansa oven door gasket if it is flattened, torn, or hardened.
- Thermostat / sensor: Compare actual oven temperature with an oven thermometer. If consistently low, test and replace the thermostat or temperature sensor as needed.
- Rack placement: Avoid placing large trays directly against the back wall or covering the entire shelf, which can block airflow.
