Possible Causes

Aging oven temperature sensor, Miscalibrated EOC, Poor rack placement or airflow, Door gasket leaks

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Use caution when working around a hot oven.

  • Verify with thermometer: Place an oven thermometer in the center of the oven and run a 350°F bake cycle for at least 20–30 minutes. Compare displayed temperature to actual.
  • Adjust calibration: If the difference is consistent (e.g., always 25°F low), use the control’s calibration feature (see user manual) to adjust up or down, typically up to ±30°F.
  • Inspect gasket: Check the door gasket for gaps, tears, or flattening. Replace if damaged to prevent heat loss.
  • Replace sensor if erratic: If temperature swings widely or is inconsistent, replace the oven temperature sensor.
