How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Use an oven thermometer to verify temperature; avoid touching hot surfaces.
- Verify temperature: Place an accurate oven thermometer in the center of the oven. Preheat to 350°F and allow 15–20 minutes. Compare the reading to the set temperature.
- Adjust calibration: Many LG ranges allow temperature adjustment in the settings menu (e.g., +/- 35°F). Refer to the user manual and adjust as needed.
- Check sensor: If the error is large or inconsistent, test the oven sensor resistance at room temperature (~1080 Ω). Replace if out of spec.
- Inspect door gasket: Check for tears or gaps in the oven door gasket. Replace if damaged to prevent heat loss.
