Most modern electric appliances have made a name for themselves with high-end, innovative technology. Modern kitchen appliances, especially ovens will unfortunately fail occasionally. The most common problems with ovens are intermittent issues with overheating. There is also a risk of oven components becoming damaged and then causing faults. Several factors result in overheating problems, so let’s take a look at some of the reasons.
Why is it overheating?
- Thermostat – This is responsible for regulating the temperature of your oven by maintaining the desired temperature, it turns the heating off & triggers it back when the temperature drops below the desired range. In case the thermostat fails, it senses the temperature incorrectly and hence failing to trigger the temperature on/off response.
- Heating Element – The heating element turns on when triggered by the thermostat. If it doesn’t receive the signal to stop heating, the oven can overheat.
- Temperature Sensor – If the sensor fails to sense the temperature, your oven can overheat.
- Oven fans – A failing oven fan can cause hot spots in the oven that burn and overcook food.
