Oven temperature inaccurate (runs hot or cold)

First measure properly: ovens cycle above and below setpoint, so use an average over several cycles. Small offsets are fixed with the control's calibration setting; large errors usually mean a drifting sensor, a weak element or igniter, or a door gasket leak.

How to test an oven RTD temperature sensor

Most electronic ovens use a platinum RTD probe, which works the opposite way to an NTC: resistance rises with heat. Many common sensors read about 1,080 Ω at room temperature and climb roughly 2 Ω per °F.

Electric oven not heating (bake or broil)

Most no-heat calls on electric ovens come down to a burned-out bake or broil element, a failed oven temperature sensor, or loss of one 120 V leg of the 240 V supply. Test elements and sensor with power off before suspecting the control board.
