      If your oven temperature is not accurate, it can lead to undercooked or overcooked food. Here are some common reasons for this issue and steps to troubleshoot and fix it.

      Common Causes:

      1. Faulty Temperature Sensor or Thermostat:

        • The temperature sensor or thermostat might be malfunctioning, causing incorrect temperature readings.

      2. Misaligned or Damaged Temperature Sensor:

        • The temperature sensor might be misaligned or damaged, resulting in inaccurate temperature readings.

      3. Faulty Control Board:

        • The control board that regulates the oven’s temperature might be defective.

        • The bake or broil element might be damaged or not functioning properly.

      5. Calibration Issues:

        • The oven might need to be calibrated to ensure accurate temperature settings.

      Troubleshooting Steps:

      1. Check the Temperature Sensor or Thermostat:

        • The temperature sensor monitors the oven temperature and communicates with the control board.
        • Turn off the power to the oven and unplug it.
        • Locate the temperature sensor inside the oven, typically near the back wall.
        • Use a multimeter to test the sensor for continuity. If it is faulty, replace the sensor.
        • Ensure the sensor is not touching the oven wall, as this can cause inaccurate readings.

      2. Inspect the Temperature Sensor for Alignment:

        • Make sure the temperature sensor is properly aligned and not touching the oven walls or racks.
        • Adjust the sensor if necessary to ensure it is positioned correctly.

      3. Test the Control Board:

        • If the temperature sensor is functioning correctly, the control board might be the issue.
        • Turn off the power to the oven and unplug it.
        • Access the control board, usually located behind the control panel or at the back of the oven.
        • Inspect the board for any visible signs of damage or burnt components.
        • Use a multimeter to test the control board for continuity. If it is faulty, consider having it repaired or replaced.

      4. Check the Heating Elements (Electric Ovens):

        • Turn off the oven and unplug it from the electrical outlet or turn off the circuit breaker.
        • Inspect the bake and broil elements for any visible signs of damage, such as burns, breaks, or blistering.
        • Use a multimeter to test the elements for continuity. If there is no continuity, the element is likely defective and needs replacement.

      5. Calibrate the Oven:

        • Consult your oven’s user manual for instructions on how to calibrate the temperature settings.
        • Most ovens have a calibration function that allows you to adjust the temperature settings to ensure accuracy.
        • Use an oven thermometer to check the accuracy of the oven temperature and adjust accordingly.

      Replacing Faulty Components:

      1. Replacing the Temperature Sensor:

        • Purchase a replacement sensor that matches your oven model.
        • Follow the manufacturer's instructions to replace the sensor. Typically, this involves disconnecting the old sensor and connecting the new one in its place.
        • Secure the new sensor and reassemble the oven.

      2. Repairing or Replacing the Control Board:

        • If the control board is identified as the issue, consider sending it to UpFix for repair. This can save you up to 80% compared to buying a new control board.
        • Remove the faulty control board and send it to UpFix. Reinstall the repaired board once you receive it back.
