Oven Temperature Not Accurate — Repair in Tampa Bay
Cookies burnt on the edges, raw in the middle. Bread that needs 20 extra minutes. An oven that runs hot or cold is a sensor or control problem, and it is fixable — no need to live with a 'quirky' oven.
What we see most
- Runs hot — food burns at the set temperature
- Runs cold — everything takes longer
- Uneven baking front-to-back
- Temperature swings during a bake
- Thermometer in the oven disagrees by 25°F+
We put a calibrated thermometer in and watch a full cycle. A steady offset is usually the temperature sensor (a cheap part) or a calibration setting many people don't know exists; big swings point to the control board or a sticking relay; uneven heat to a failed convection fan or a leaking door gasket. We replace the part, calibrate and verify before we leave, and quote before any work.
An oven that runs hot is quietly stressing the control relay — a sensor fix today beats a control board next year.

Frequently asked questions
Why is my oven temperature wrong?
Most often the temperature sensor has drifted; otherwise the control board, a relay or a leaking door gasket. We measure it with a calibrated probe.
Can an oven be recalibrated?
Many can, from the control panel — we do it as part of the visit. If the sensor is out of range, we replace it first.
How much does it cost?
$79 diagnostic, waived with the repair. A sensor is a modest part; you approve the exact price first.
Do you work on convection and double wall ovens?
Yes — including convection fan motors and dual-oven controls.
