Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF power to the range and allow it to cool.
Ventilation and environment:
- Ensure the range is not installed too tightly against cabinetry, restricting airflow.
- Check that vents are not blocked by foil or other materials.
Internal inspection (advanced):
- Remove the rear control panel cover.
- Locate the internal temperature sensor (often mounted near the control board) and verify the connector is secure.
- Inspect for signs of overheating or melted plastic around the control area.
Next steps: If the sensor is integrated into the PCB or tests out of spec, the main PCB assembly will need replacement. This is typically a professional repair.
