Possible Causes
Weak bake element, failed convection element, faulty temperature sensor, door gasket leak, control calibration off
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power before removing panels or elements.
- Verify preheat method: Use only one rack and avoid opening the door frequently during preheat.
- Check elements: Confirm that both bake and broil (and convection, if equipped) elements glow during preheat. Replace any non-heating element.
- Inspect door gasket: Look for tears or gaps in the oven door gasket. Replace if damaged to prevent heat loss.
- Test sensor: Check the oven temperature sensor resistance. Replace if out of spec.
- Calibrate control: Use the oven calibration feature in the settings menu to adjust temperature if the oven is consistently off by the same amount.
