Electric Oven Getting Too Hot! What to Do
Electric ovens are designed to maintain precise temperatures, but sometimes they can run hotter than intended. This can be problematic, especially for baking where even a slight temperature variation can affect the outcome. There are several reasons why an electric oven might get too hot. A faulty sensor, for instance, can misread the oven’s internal temperature, leading to overheating. Similarly, a damaged or loosened thermostat knob can cause temperature inconsistencies. Over time, the oven cavity can accumulate food stains, grime, and other residues. This buildup, especially on the temperature sensor, can interfere with accurate temperature readings. Blocked vents or grounded heating elements can also contribute …
