Oven too hot and uneven heat

1. Turn off the oven and unplug it from the electrical outlet.
2. Locate the thermostat dial inside the oven.
3. Using a small screwdriver, turn the thermostat dial to the desired temperature setting (e.g. 550°F).
4. Plug in the oven and turn it on.
5. Allow the oven to preheat to the set temperature for 15-20 minutes.
6. Place an oven thermometer in the center of the oven to verify the actual temperature.
7. If the oven temperature is still not correct, repeat steps 2-6, adjusting the thermostat dial as necessary.

It's important to note that some models may require a professional to calibrate the oven thermostat,

Check your door seal by doing a paper-pull test. If the paper pulls out easily on one side and not the other, then you found your problem. You might be able to "tweak" the door, but be careful - if you twist the door too much, you could break the glass. The other (and safer) solution is to replace the door seal. Another thing that could cause uneaven heating would be an element that has a "hot spot", but this is rare. Finally, if the insulation of the oven cavity was done improperly at the factory, that could also cuase uneven heating, but this is even rarer than an element with a hot spot. In all my 9 years of servicing ranges, I only encounter this cause 1 time. Ussually it's a damaged or compressed door seal.

Hi I Have A GE XL44 That Is Running Very Hot I Want To Know How To Troubleshoot Because When I Was Cooking Plantains I Did Burned My Fingers Because Of The Oven That Is Running Too Hot

It is not good to do the self clean. The electronics take a beating. Probably the ignitor went out. The oven gets too hot.

These are screws you see. They are oxidized and the slots in the head are probably gone. Best approach is to spray with Pam (or equivalent) cooking oil, then use vise grips to remove the screws.

broiler on top of oven?? if so it might have a second ignitor that is working. Most units now with gas have an electric ignitor to start gas ovens. What they do is send electric current through an electric "wire", when enough current is flowing through wire to open gas valve the wire is hot enough to ignite the gas flowing over it. When you turn on the oven look at the burner and after 1 imute or so you should be able to see an Orange glow in bottom of oven if not I'm sure its the ignitor, if glows then probably oven valve is bad. I'd guess ignitor because most oven makers use this ignitor to mantain a warming temp (around 100 degree's) so since your display doesnt register over inital "start" temp of 75, i'd bet ingitor not coming on at all

you have a bad oven/bake ignitor, althoough you see ther glow, its not "hot" enough to allow gas flow or ignition, very common issue, 2 screws and 2 wires, probably about $75, service company gets min $225..

Maybe you could throw out the oven and buy a new fridge
