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.
