JennAir oven cooks food unevenly; one side browns more than the other (no error code)

Possible Causes

Warped or partially failed bake element, Blocked convection fan (if equipped), Incorrect rack position, Poor calibration

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before touching internal components.

  • Check elements: During preheat, verify that the bake element glows evenly along its entire length. Replace if any section stays dark.
  • Convection fan: For convection models, ensure the fan runs during convection bake and that the fan cover is not blocked by foil or pans.
  • Rack placement: Follow JennAir's recommended rack positions for different foods in the user manual.
  • Rotate pans: For very large items, rotate the pan halfway through cooking to even out browning.
  • Calibrate oven: Adjust the oven temperature offset if actual temperatures are consistently off.
