The integrated temperature sensor, the heating elements, and the gas igniters are the probable causes of the problem.

• Buy an ohmmeter to check the sensor’s functionality. As the oven temperature increases, its resistance will be on the rise
• Replace the sensor while it does not work.
• Recalibrate your oven after checking everything.
• The oven temperature must reach 200C. Use an oven thermometer for checking the interior temperature.
• Adjust the temperature dial.

You cannot shut your oven door:
