Possible Causes
Weak or failing bake element/igniter, Door gasket leaks, Faulty oven temperature sensor, Incorrect gas pressure or regulator issue on gas models
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Turn off power and gas (for gas models) before accessing internal components.
Step-by-step:
- Check element/igniter: Verify that the bake element (electric) glows evenly or that the bake burner (gas) lights promptly and burns with a steady flame. Replace weak bake element or bake igniter as needed.
- Inspect door seal: Replace a damaged oven door gasket to prevent heat loss.
- Test sensor: Check the oven temperature sensor resistance and replace if out of range.
- Gas pressure (gas models): If burners appear weak or uneven, the gas regulator or supply pressure may be incorrect. Have a qualified technician test and adjust or replace the gas pressure regulator.
