Oven Temperature Calibration / Sensor Drift
Oven temperature is inaccurate (too hot or too cold) with no error code

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.
