Best Answer

It is hard to give a difinitive answer not knowing how old this oven is. Most likely unless you can do it yourself any repair is going to be fairly costly. ... say over $100 since you'd have to pay for someone to come out. An alternative is to get a thermometer for your oven. There is the very inexpensive kind which usually hangs off the rack and you can see through the window or have to open the door to read.d You can also get a slightly more expensive kind which reads remotely so you don't have to open the door. Then always make a note to set the oven to 50 or so degrees less than the recipe calls for. Then use the thermometers for a double check as you cook things. I had to deal with this in an old house I rented some time ago. best, cez

Cezzium had good advice for you. Use an oven thermometer. Mine was $10 at the grocery store. Pretty much all of the temperature controls are off by varying amounts. The trick is just to find out what it is so you don't burn your dinner. I spoke to a repair guy and he said that is was a common problem, but it was going to cost me $100 just for him to leave the shop. He's the one that suggested I buy a thermometer.

It seems to be a manufacturer problem. Either you try and get them to replace it or use your math and adjust your temp accordingly. Get an oven thermometer to place inside the oven. That will help.

Thermostat needs calibrating. Suggest hiring a local applicance center technician for that - cheaper than buying the tools required. Or just live with it and adjust your cooking temperature accordingly.

Pull of the thermostat button & inside you will find a slotted screw turning the screw clockwise will decrease the oven temperature. I suggest turning it a small bit at a time until you get the right temperature.
