Oven Temperature Inaccurate

Food cooks too fast, too slow, or unevenly

About This Problem

When oven temperature doesn't match the setting, cooking results suffer. Calibration issues are common.

Possible Causes

  • Oven needs calibration
  • Temperature sensor failure
  • Thermostat malfunction
  • Door seal letting heat escape
  • Heating element partial failure
  • Convection fan not working (if convection mode)

Things to Try First

  1. 1Test actual temperature with an oven thermometer
  2. 2Check door seal for gaps or damage
  3. 3Verify convection fan runs in convection mode
  4. 4Some ovens allow user calibration - check manual
  5. 5Ensure proper rack positioning for your cooking needs

When to Call a Professional

Contact a certified technician if you experience any of the following:

  • Temperature is more than 50°F off from setting
  • Calibration doesn't hold
  • Temperature fluctuates wildly during cooking
  • Heating elements show uneven heating
  • Convection fan doesn't run
