Just moved into a house that has a Miele H 387 wall oven. Oven temp seems to increase only by 10 degree increments, so I'm unable to bake at 375 which is a very common baking temp. If I reset the "default" values, will that take care of this problem?
The default for most Miele oven is 375 - however this is an earlier model oven that only allowed (as yo said) ten degree increments - I am afraid that there is no solution to that.
370 or 380 would be your options

please post the model Number here..so i can look it up but just off hand there maybe an oven sensor (thermistor) problem this in inside the oven and tells the electronic ctrl board what the actual temp is in the oven it says 135 beacause it will until the temp reachs that after that as the temp goes up it will read 140 150 160 .. and so on until it reachs the set temp .. Is the oven getting hot and are there any fault codes coming up??
SOURCE: temp indicator chimes although temp is really 100 degrees low.
Yes you do need a new thermostat, just make sure that the sensor is not obstructed by anything. first.
Plz rate my solution
Thanks.
SOURCE: I have a F & P wall double oven model OD302,
The name F&P says it all! If there was any brand that gave the most problems, in products then F&P is the first on the list. With LG as the second
You say this is possibly a new installation of only 2 weeks. Don't dither around seeing if its a simple fix, get the installers/sellers back to fix it . It will probably need replacing as the control is faulty.
Thanks for using FIXYA

Hi.
If both baking and broiling element do not heath above
a certain temperature instead, then the part to be replaced is the
temperature probe, still located inside the oven cavity.
If the part that is not heating is only one element, then you may need to replace
the element.
Before replacement the element can be tested
removing it from the cavity and reading Ohms at the element terminals,
with a multimeter set at Rx1. Disconnect power before removing the
element.
In this case, selecting only baking or only broiling (depending on what element is faulty), the oven will work normally.
If the oven is a gas oven, then you have no element. In that case if the oven burners are working, replace the temperature sensor.
If replacing the temperature sensor does not help, then replace the oven electronic control.

If you are monitoring the oven temperature with an analog style thermometer you may actually be ok, but seeing the thermometers slow reaction time.
Some newer ovens actually do pre-heat beep prior to reaching temp in an effort to conserve eelectricity.
A good home test is to try your oven at several different temps to see if there is any variation in internal temperature. Try it one day on 300, the next at 375 and another day at 450. Give your analog style thermometer time to catch up (usually just about 15 min) and leave it on for a half an hour to see if the temp maintains.
Also Beware of aluminum foil AND THE NEW OVEN LINER MATS as they can alter oven performance bay absorbing and blocking the ovens natural heat radiation and convection air flow currents that happen in all ovens, not just convection models.
Another interesting fact is that older ovens used a thermostat in them that operated much like your thermometer and was very slow to react making the oven typically about 100 degrees hotter than where the customer set it. This was just a fact of life before the advent of electronic temperature management and became noticeable when people began trying to bake older "hand me down" recipes in the newer ovens with less than stellar results.
You can mimic the older oven performance by preheating the oven about a hundred degrees higher than called for and after it reaches temp, re-set it to the correct temperature and put the items in right away.
If you find your temperatures fluctuating ask your servicer to replace first the temp sensor and as a last resort the control board as this part is usually pretty expensive.
Good Luck with this!
