You might discover that half of the food is cooked while the other half is raw. This scenario is particularly concerning when it comes to meat and safe cooking temperatures. All modern ovens should have uniform heat across their interiors. This feature is thanks to the included fans in the design. Don't chalk up uneven cooking to bad luck.
Check your sensor for any issues. A serious symptom of a bad sensor is overheating. You set the oven to degrees Fahrenheit, and it's rapidly rising to degrees F. Immediately shut off the oven. This overheating scenario can quickly grow into a serious problem. You may be able to keep tabs on the rising heat by using an independent temperature gauge placed in the oven.
Simply set the oven on a low temperature, such as degrees F. You will need to replace the sensor as soon as possible otherwise. When you've isolated the problem to a bad oven temperature sensor, solving the issue is your top priority. This part hasn't necessarily gone bad, however. It might require a basic adjustment. Take a look inside your deactivated oven. The sensor is usually visible near the back of the space. If the sensor has bent toward the oven's wall, it could be touching hot metal during use.
Adjust the sensor out from the wall. It may be close to the wall but not touching it. Turn the oven on again. Test it for an even and accurate temperature. In many cases, this troubleshooting tip is your solution. A bad oven temperature sensor can also be pinpointed by checking the resistance at its probe ends.
Wait for the oven to be completely cool for this troubleshooting maneuver. Use an ohmmeter to test the sensor probe on both ends. A strong reading should hover around 1, ohms. If you encounter any values below or above 1, ohms, the sensor is bad. It uses this resistance in order to warm up the oven to its proper temperature.
Swapping out the sensor with a new part should give you the proper resistance needed for reliable operations. In a perfect world, a bad oven temperature sensor would be your only problem.
However, it's possible for several parts to be bad. Consider these parts that can be combination problems during oven heating, including:. Any combination of issues from these parts can simulate the symptoms of a bad sensor. Pay careful attention to the particular problems that are plaguing the oven. Use this information to narrow down the parts problem. Contacting oven professionals may be necessary in this case.
Behind the oven's control panel is a printed circuit board or PCB. It's designed to last for the life of the appliance, but problems can arise. Component shorts and surges will quickly break the part down. The sensor ends up being your last problem of the day. Oven boards must be in good working order to control any features. Depending on the failure type, the board may or may not be repairable. A professional must look at it. Failed, isolated components on an otherwise healthy board can be normally swapped out with careful strategies.
Outright burns on the board means that it must be replaced. There's too much damage to make a repair possible. You could invite a service technician into your home for an appraisal on your oven board, but there are better solutions today.
Look for a reputable online service, such as Appliance Board Repair. Send us your oven board in the mail. If your oven problem is isolated to this part, we can repair and send the board back to you. The oven is only down for a few days, depending on the chosen shipping speed. Reinstall the probe. Alternatively, if the ohms are not within this range, install a new probe.
Reconnect the wire connectors. Reinstall the rear panel. Reconnect the electrical power and push the stove back into place. Test the Frigidaire oven by placing an oven thermometer into it. Set the oven to the desired temperature. After it is preheated, check to see if the oven operates at that set temperature. If the oven temperature is runaway or the oven displays an error code of anything between "F0" to "F6," replace the electronic oven control EOC. Replace the EOC by first pulling the range away from wall.
Disconnect the electrical supply. Remove the screws that hold the rear panel in place, using a screwdriver. Lift off the panel and set it aside. Locate the EOC at the top center of the stove; it is a green circuit board. Disconnect or unplug the wire ribbons from the control board. Remove the two screws that secure the EOC to the range wall, using a Phillips screwdriver.
Install a new EOC, securing it to the range wall with the two Phillips screws. Reconnect the wire ribbons. Replace the rear stove panel.
