Why is my electric oven not getting up to temperature?
Put the thermometer stem or probe into the ice water. Make sure the sensing area is under water. Wait 30 seconds or until the reading stays steady. Adjust the thermometer so it reads 32F (0C).
Pull off the TEMP knob. On the back of the knob is a small adjustment screw in a track labeled Cooler at one end and Hotter at the other. Loosen the screw just enough that you can move it. Move the screw toward Cooler if the oven overcooks or Hotter if it undercooks.
It’s called Oven Calibration. Every oven model has a calibration process and you can reset your oven so that it is accurate when you cook. Most ovens can be calibrated up or down 30-35 degrees F.
Turn the circuit breaker to the OFF position or remove the fuse. Wait one minute, then turn the circuit breaker back to the ON position or install the fuse to reset power to the unit. This should reset the electronic controls on the range or wall oven.
If you notice that your electric oven isn’t heating up to the correct temperature and food comes out under-cooked, this many be caused by a defective electric oven thermostat. Thermostats measure the temperature inside the oven cavity, switching the electric element on and off to maintain the desired temperature.
