Possible Causes

Aged oven thermostat, drifted NTC temperature sensor, poor airflow due to blocked vents, incorrect shelf position usage

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Verification:

  • Place an oven thermometer in the centre of the oven and preheat to a known temperature (e.g. 180°C). Compare the actual temperature to the set value.
  • Repeat at several settings to confirm consistent offset.

Corrections:

  • Some Leisure models allow electronic calibration via the control panel; refer to the service manual to adjust offset if available.
  • If mechanical thermostat: replace the oven thermostat if readings are significantly off.
  • If sensor-based: replace the oven temperature sensor (NTC) if it reads out of specification at known temperatures.
  • Ensure air vents inside the oven are not blocked by foil or trays, and use recommended shelf positions for even cooking.
