Possible Causes
Stuck relay on control board, shorted temperature sensor, miscalibrated control, wiring short to sensor circuit
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and allow the oven to cool completely.
- Sensor test: Test the oven temperature sensor resistance at room temperature (~1080 Ω). Replace if out of range.
- Inspect wiring: Check for shorts between sensor wires and chassis. Repair any damaged insulation.
- Control board: If sensor and wiring are good, the control's relay may be stuck on, causing overheating. Replace the control board.
- Calibration: After replacement, verify oven temperature with an oven thermometer and adjust calibration if your model allows.
