When a residential kitchen oven fails to maintain a consistent, accurate temperature and causes your baked goods to burn or remain raw, the malfunction is typically caused by a failing temperature sensor probe, a miscalibrated electronic control board, a warped or partially broken heating element, or a weak gas igniter. When a sensor probe is coated in grease or out of calibration, it sends incorrect resistance values to the computer. You can troubleshoot temperature accuracy easily using an independent oven thermometer. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when cleaning the sensor probe, adjusting temperature offsets in your control menu, or replacing a faulty sensor restores precise thermal cooking performance.
